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.
