Justus Dahinden was a Swiss architect and professor recognized for his innovative contributions to post-war architecture. He studied at ETH Zurich, where he later earned his doctorate, and in 1955, he established his own architectural practice in Zurich. His designs, such as the Zelthaus on the Rigi (1955), the Pyramide am See in Zurich (1965–1970), and the Schwabylon leisure center in Munich (1970–1974), are known for their expressive forms and environmental sensitivity. From 1974 to 1995, he served as a professor at the Technical University of Vienna, shaping the next generation of architects through his expertise in architectural theory and practice.
