Atelier 5 is a modernist architectural company based in Switzerland.
Atelier 5 founded in 1955 in Bern, Switzerland by the five architects Erwin Fritz, Samuel Gerber, Rolf Hesterberg, Hans Hostettler and Alfredo Pini and later joined by Niklaus Morgenthaler.[1]
The founding members met in the studio of Hans Brechbühler, a student of Le Corbusier in the 1930s. Samuel Gerber joined from the practice of landscape designer Burle Marx in Brazil.
The company built the Halen housing development (Structuralism) between 1955 and 1962 in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
