Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Material Lehm, zu wissen, dass man sich auf relativem Neuland befindet, dass alles neu gedacht und entwickelt werden muss, ist für Roger Boltshauser eine Art Grunderfahrung, die ihn heute noch anspornt, ihn mutig, aber auch kritisch gegenüber allen Konventionen macht und ihn immer wieder antreibt, neue Lösungen zu finden. Diese Grunderfahrung versucht er auch in der Lehre zu vermitteln, weshalb er immer wieder auf das noch wenig erforschte Material Lehm zurückgreift. Es geht darum, in einer von der Industrie diktierten Welt den Mut zu entwickeln, neue Lösungsansätze denken zu können. Dieses Bewusstsein in Kombination mit einem fundierten Verständnis für ökologische Fragen prägen seine Bauten und leisten einen notwendigen Beitrag in der Architektur. Roger Boltshauser geht es auf allen Ebenen um die Suche nach einer authentischen Antwort, welche möglichst viele Aspekte einbindet. In stetigen Parallelprozessen verbinden sich Kunst, Entwurf und Bau zu seinem Werk.

For Roger Boltshauser, the confrontation with earth as a material, knowing that one is in relatively uncharted territory, that everything has to be rethought and developed, is a fundamental experience that still spurs him on today, makes him courageous but also critical of all conventions, and drives him again and again to find new solutions. He also tries to convey this fundamental experience in his teaching, which is why he always falls back on earth, a material that is still little explored. The point is to develop the courage to think of new approaches to solutions in a world dictated by industry. This awareness, combined with a sound understanding of environmental aspects, informs his buildings and makes a necessary contribution to architecture. Roger Boltshauser is concerned at all levels with the search for an authentic answer that integrates as many aspects as possible. In constant parallel processes, art, design and construction combine to form his work.
