  • Quart Publishers Carlos Martinez: De aedibus 100

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisCarlos Martinez has been running his architectural office in Berneck (Switzerland) for over 30 years. He made a name for himself through his collaboration with Pipilotti Rist entitled “roter Teppich von St. Gallen” (“red carpet of St. Gallen”), a wonderful urban-planning intervention that brings together the formerly haphazard conglomerate of remnant spaces and transport functions to create a homogeneous, identity-strengthening unity. His great energy and inventive engagement with the urban-planning context and its existing structures have led to numerous architectural projects that integrate themselves as powerful figures in the urban context and landscape. Text in English and German.

    Book SynopsisSince 2009, the two Basel architects Fabio Felippi and Thomas Wyssen have completed several fine buildings and conversions. They are precise structures that have been developed with extreme care out of themes such as structural presentation, conscious tectonics, typological clarity and a meticulous materialization that alternates between coarse qualities and elaborate surface treatment. Text in English and German.

    Book SynopsisFlorian Nagler’s work is a veritable “recherche patiente”, as his buildings have an experimental character. For instance the “research buildings” in Bad Aibling are exercises on what building with wood, plastered brick and concrete can each mean. The Wohnen am Dantebad housing development reinterprets the traditional pergola. Text in English and German.

    Book SynopsisA penchant for experimentation, transparency and sculptural presence are the salient features of the buildings of Gus Wüstemann, who has offices in Zurich and Barcelona. One striking building is the residential house on Langrütstrasse in Zurich. Elongated living spaces across the building are formed topographically, as it were, on their longitudinal walls, and the interiors radiate a raw sensuality.Text in English and German.

    Book SynopsisThe twin sisters Selma Mikou and Salwa Mikou founded their own Paris office in 2006 – after working for many years for Jean Nouvel and Renzo Piano. Each project primarily aims to liberate itself from preconceived forms in order to create original solutions that focus on the dimension of an emotional spatial experience. The architects have produced numerous prominent buildings in this way, including the Balsanéo Aquatics Center in Châteauroux (2021), which was developed as a dynamic figure that spans the boulevard like a bridge to overlook the unique landscape of the Indre region. Text in English and German.

    Book SynopsisFor Zurich architect Stefan Wülser, architecture is not reduced to the craft of designing and implementing the design, but also involves thinking about its socio-cultural significance in contemporary society. With the house in Bassersdorf, for example, he developed a programmatic building that rises above an existing supporting structure in a direct, bricollage-like construction that is gestural and expressive. With an article by Tibor Joanelly. Text in English and German.

    Quart Publishers Masswerk Architekten: De aedibus 102

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisBenedikt Rigling, René Bosshard and Matthias Baumann are the founders of Masswerk Architekten, which has been based in Lucerne since 2003 and in Zurich since 2008. In addition to residential buildings, a number of public buildings have been created over the years – in particular school buildings, retirement centres and municipal facilities – which are characterised by a broad architectural repertoire and meticulous design work. Two residential buildings in the middle of a city park in Lucerne appear sculptural in their reduced structures, with floor plans fitted intelligently and naturally into the building volumes. The Baufeld G complex on Europaallee in Zurich, a significant urban development, inscribes itself unobtrusively in the cityscape with its rhythmic façades. To be completed in 2021, the Burghalde secondary school centre in Baden will accommodate 1,000 pupils in a historic park setting with protected buildings. With an article by Karl R. Kegler. Text in English and German.

    Book Synopsissoppelsa Architekten focuses on the relationship between spaces – their qualities, materialisation, proportions and light guidance – and the project programme. Already in the early years after founding their office in 2012, the brothers Mario and Nino Soppelsa managed to apply that approach in a number of competition successes. In 2015, the semi-detached house in Esslingen was their first constructed project. However, their work is not limited to housing and also includes successful projects on all scales: their Hagmannareal Winterthur-Seen residential estate has won several awards, while their newly constructed Oberrüti double sports hall was included in the list of Best Architects 2023.

For instance the Agroscope in Nyon uses innovative architecture to create an inspirational research facility, its silhouette and colour scheme entering into a dialogue with the landscape.Text in English and German.
