The work of  J U R I J   V O N   A S T E R  (MSc. Arch. AAM USI / SIA) focuses on the emotional experience of spaces and built objects. Driven by a deep love for Art and Nature, it is shaped by his interest in philosophy, aesthetics and psychology of perception. Every project is a fragment of a search for simplicity. Jurij studied architecture at the TU München, the University of Strathclyde Glasgow and the Accademia di Architettura Mendrisio and worked as an architect for Valerio Olgiati and Herzog & de Meuron.
