Architekturführer Basel

The Architecture Guide Basel in its fourth, updated edition. In Basel, with its trinational urban area spanning Switzerland, Germany, and France, one can experience a global and local architectural culture in immediate proximity like nowhere else of comparable size. Local stars Herzog & de Meuron and Diener & Diener are already active internationally. Clients such as Vitra, Novartis, and Beyeler have commissioned buildings from Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Sanaa (Kazuyo Sejima/Ryue Nishizawa), Alvaro Siza, Renzo Piano, and others. The Architecture Guide Basel shines a light on the immediate present in its fourth and expanded edition, featuring 44 new projects for a total of 156. It also attempts to trace the development of this vibrant architectural scene since 1980. Each project is presented on a double page.
