Gigon-Guyer Architekten
Since it was set up in 1989 the office of Gigon/Guyer architects has conceived an impressive series of projects. The most important designs arried out include museums, housing projects, and office buildings. The recently completed Prime Tower and its annex buildings on the Maag site in Zürich have been internationally acclaimed. The monograph provides a sharply focused insight into how Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer understand architecture. The various concepts as well as the different constructions, materials, forms and colors that they employ in their projects are presented in an exhaustive documentation of their work that uses numerous photographs, plans and short texts. The three essays as well as a discussion between Patrick Gmür, Martin Steinmann and the architects offer in-depth reflection and contextualization.

Annette Gigon/Mike Guyer
Zurich-based architect couple Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer are known for creating spaces that inspire and allow for intense contemplation. In the spirit of the duo's previous work--the Kirchner Museum at Davos, the renovation of the Winterthur art museum, and the extension of the Winterthur's Oskar Reinhart collection--their new museum project at Appenzell also exhibits a powerful, idiosyncratic sense of aesthetics. The Liner Museum, dedicated to the Appenzell painters Carl August and Carl Walter Liner--father and son, respectively--presents itself as a sculptural design: the very antithesis of prescriptive postmodern museum architecture that threatens to draw attention away from the exhibits, Gigon and Guyer's edifice displays the imperatives of clear stereometrics and neutral spaces. Here, the architects have succeeded in integrating the new structure into its rural surroundings and vice versa. This book features the Liner Museum, completed in 1998, in a photographic sequence by the gifted architectural photographer Gaston Wicky.
