Werner M. Moser

Born in Karlsruhe, Germany, Moser studied architecture at ETH Zurich from 1916 to 1921. While there, he undertook a semester at the Technical University of Stuttgart under Paul Bonatz, Adolf Abel, and Ernst Fiechter. Moser worked in Rotterdam for 2 years at the firm of Granpré Molière, Verhagen, and Kok. Between 1923 and 1926, he was employed in the United States at the offices of Frank Lloyd Wright (Spring Green and Los Angeles), Schmidt, Garden & Martin (Chicago), and Drake Brothers (Evanston). Upon his return to Switzerland, Moser collaborated with other Swiss architects to design the model furnishings for Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's apartment building at the Werkbund exhibition in Stuttgart in 1927. == Major Architectural Works in Germany and Switzerland ==

In 1928, Werner co-founded the Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) in La Sarraz, Switzerland, along with 28 prominent European architects, including Le Corbusier, Sigfried Giedion, Hendrik Berlage, and his father. In the 1930s, Moser participated in urban planning studies with the Zurich CIAM group and in important exhibitions on modern school building (, 1933) and modern bathing culture (, 1934–1935) at the Museum of Design in Zurich. == Death and Legacy ==

In later projects, Moser and HMS gravitated towards the construction of office spaces, an example of which is the 14-story high-rise , built in collaboration with architect André M. Studer (1959–1964). ==References==
