On 12 April 2024, to celebrate the publication of Swiss Window Journeys: Architectural Field Notes, the Chair of Architectural Behaviorology organized a walking tour of notable windows across the city of Zurich. The tour ended at the Never Stop Reading bookshop in Niederdorf, the old district of Zurich, where Momoyo Kaijima, Andrea Deplazes, and Laurent Stalder engaged in a conversation around the role and meaning of the window in Swiss architecture and beyond.
