Quart Publishers Peter Markli: Drawings
Since his first projects in the 1980s, drawings have always accompanied the architectural work of Peter Markli. They are patiently recorded images and thoughts that occasionally have an associative relationship with the designs. Often however they are independent, free notes based on inner images. This volume compiles a large number of such drawings. Eight texts by various authors from different cultural fields and an overview of all drawings produced since the beginning complement this remarkable collection. Since the 1980s, Peter Markli has been one of the most important architects in Switzerland, where he enjoys a very special status.

Park Books All Under One Roof: Revolutionising Basel’s Military Barracks
In a complex transformation, the Basel-based architecture firm Focketyn del Rio Studio converted the main building of Berlin’s former military barracks into a vibrant cultural and creative hub. Situated on the embankment of the Rhine, already a nightlife hotspot, it offers some 32,000 square feet of work and project spaces, a spacious plaza, a theatre hall, as well as a bar and restaurant. All Under One Roof documents the building’s new architecture in detail and tells the story of Focketyn del Rio Studio, which won the competition for rebuilding the Kaserne Basel. Interviews, concise texts, photographs, as well as plans and drawings, provide insight into the evolution of the project, the history of the old barracks, and the process of its redesign. In addition, it uses the barrack conversion as a way to discuss key questions about the design and use of urban public spaces more broadly. Text in English and German.
