GUBER SCULPTURES
Administration building of canton Obwalden, Sarnen, Switzerland, 1991

“It is not more art in a building. It is a sign that, as art, permeates the architecture, that sets a counterpoint to the sober, pragmatic late modern building. The material makes reference to the elementary. The symbolic language that Hugo Schaer and Thomas Birve  use in the artistic design of the administrative building in Hostett Sarnen, too, is elementary...Art is not an attachment. Here, architecture and art have entered into a symbiosis.” Urs Bugmann, LNN
