Engineers Jürg Conzett and Gianfranco Bronzini, recipients of the Prix Meret Oppenheim 2022, speak about their process of designing bridges and other structures in a short film released upon their receipt of the prize on June 13.
Conzett and Bronzini were named recipients of the Prix Meret Oppenheim 2022 — alongside painter Caroline Bachmann and artist Klodin Erb — in April, when only a trailer for the official short film was made available. The nearly six-minute film, released yesterday, captures the two engineers working in their studio but also speaking about their work at the site of one of their projects: a mountain lookout with angled balconies that face in different directions. It's a small wooden structure perched on a rock and capped by a roof; it is humble, but also a sign of how the pair finds solutions that are appropriate yet unexpected, regardless of size and typology.
