Gion Antoni Caminada (*1957) lives in the village of Vrin in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. He first trained as a carpenter and then attended an arts and crafts school. After gaining experience from traveling, he studied architecture at ETH Zurich, where he is currently a professor. In the late 1970s, he returned to his native mountain village of Vrin, established his own office, and is also politically active there. Most of his works are located in Vrin and its surroundings, aimed at improving the functioning of the village. He is interested in discussions with local building traditions and seeks ways to use old building structures in modern architecture. He uses traditional local materials (wood, stone) for his buildings.
