Christ & Gantenbein belong to the youngest generation in a long succession of internationally eminent Swiss architects. The publication is not a monographic description of their work but demonstrates how Emanuel Christ (*1970 in Basel) and Christoph Gantenbein (*1971 in St.Gallen) design architecture. Based on the documentation of two very different projects-the VoltaMitte Housing and Commercial Building in Basel and the Swiss Church in London-the book elucidates the architects' distinct approach. In an interview with Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, they discuss their design method and the design process. A richly illustrated essay throws light on the meaning and intention of their architectural oeuvre, beginning with their head-turning competition entry for the extension to the Swiss National Museum in Zurich to their most recent projects.
