ONE AFTERNOON SEVERAL MONTHS AGO , we found ourselves waiting

in the quiet, impossibly picturesque Swiss town of Domat/Ems to meet an architect named Dietrich Schwarz Though still in his thir- ties, Schwarz has already earned a reputation as one of Switzerland’s leading practitioners of the environmentally friendly approach to architecture known as sustainable, or “green,” design Using a com- bination of new, high-tech materials—some of his own invention— and old-fashioned architectural wisdom, he creates houses and other buildings that are snugly energy-efficient and sit lightly on the land.
