Otto Rudolf Salvisberg

Otto Rudolf Salvisberg (19 October 1882, Köniz – 23 December 1940, Arosa) was a Swiss architect.

Between 1905 and 1930 Salvisberg worked in Germany. He worked with Bruno Ahrends and Wilhelm Büning to design the "White City" housing settlement in Berlin.

After completing his apprenticeship as a building draughtsman, Salvisberg attended the School of Architecture at the Technicum in Biel/Bienne in 1901, which he graduated from in 1904 with honors. Subsequently, he traveled through southern Germany to Munich. In Munich, Salvisberg attended courses at the Technical University of Munich, where August Thiersch, Friedrich von Thiersch, and Karl Hocheder were teaching. Presumably in 1905, he continued his journey to Karlsruhe. In addition to his employment at the architectural firm Curjel & Moser in Karlsruhe, he studied at the Technical University of Karlsruhe under the guidance of Carl Schäfer.^[1]

From 1930, Salvisberg taught as a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, where he built the district heating plant and mechanical engineering laboratory until 1934. In 1938, he spent some time in Turkey. In the 1930s, Salvisberg was the in-house architect for the pharmaceutical company Hoffmann-La Roche, designing the development plan and many buildings at the headquarters in Basel as well as numerous buildings for the subsidiaries around the world.
