On Mindfulness and Mind Body Medicine

Talking Mindfulness: An FAQ with Dipl. Psychologist Regula Saner

It’s about small, practical steps that can make a big difference in everyday life. But what is mindfulness, really — and how can we weave it into daily routines? Regula Saner, Dipl. Psychologist, Psychotherapist and experienced mindfulness teacher, shares her insights.

Christian Kathriner

A TALE OF MATTE BLACK SURFACES AND COLORFUL SEATING

Christian Kathriner (*1974), a freelance artist from central Switzerland, is an integral part of the Maistra 160 project team. While he enjoys solitary reflection in his studio, many of his works are designed as unique, tailor-made pieces for specific spaces and architectural settings. This process requires both openness and expertise as it involves collaborating with a diverse range of stakeholders, including architects, property owners, authorities, and builders.

On Architecture, Space, and Place

CURATED QUOTES FROM ARCHITECT GION A. CAMINADA

Gion A. Caminada, known for his philosophical approach to architecture, begins each project with a carefully considered concept. He believes in minimizing arbitrariness and striving for the best possible solution throughout the design process. Even when a solution seems apparent, Caminada is all for discarding it and starting afresh to ensure true innovation. This collection of quotes offers a glimpse into the mind of this Grisons architect and serves as a small manifesto on the art of building.

The Architect in the Right Place

GION A. CAMINADA CREATES RESONANCE WITH HIS MINIMALIST STYLE

From the beginning, the owners envisioned architecture as a central element in the realization of Hotel Maistra 160. The design was entrusted to renowned architect Gion A. Caminada, whose minimalist approach perfectly aligned with this vision. Caminada, who served as a tenured professor of architecture and design at ETH Zurich until January 2023, was the perfect choice to bring the project to life.
