Life in rural Switzerland was closely intertwined with the landscape and the home. It was shaped by evolving daily practices and patterns of interpretation, architectural and climatic changes, as well as sweeping economic transformations.
Stefan Kunz illustrates these multifaceted processes through the landscape of Adelboden. He traces the lived environments of local people across different time periods, which were shaped by the tension between rural tradition and modern tourism. In doing so, he relates the contextual history of the landscape to the personal histories of the inhabitants of the house, which was built in Adelboden in 1698 and moved to the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum in 1968. Using a spatial-theoretical approach, he examines the transformation of physical, processual, and symbolic space over a period of 270 years. This provides deeper insights into the historical discourse and the shifting meanings of landscape and house in the Alpine region.
