Architectural designs created by students are works produced during practice. Nevertheless, in addition to reflecting the rigorous learning process of the craft, these works also witness teachers and students pursuing meaningful development in architectural subjects together. 14 Student Projects with Valerio Olgiati: 1998-2000 features paper proposals from 14 students whom Valerio Olgiati mentored when he was a visiting professor at the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich between 1998 and 2000.
