about the book
"[...]
This architectural guide, however is not intended to be a history book but the first comprehensive record of contemporary architecture in Zurich from 1990 to the present day. The main part of the book focuses on 75 selected buildings and current construction projects - community housing and exclusive homes, offices and schools, parks and railway stations, hotels and industrial buildings - designed by architects such as Gigon / Guyer or Meili Peter, young talents like Pool Architekten or EM2N, and also international stars like Santiago Calatrava or Nicholas Grimshaw. The buildings are organised according to geographical location, with Zürich City and Zürich West each having an aditional section entitled 'interiors'."
