Kunstmuseum Extension, Basel, by Christ & Gantenbein
Christ & Gantenbein was established by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein in 1998. Together with their six associates Mona Farag, Julia Tobler, Tabea Lachenmann, Anna Flückiger, Michael Bertschmann, Victoria Easton and a team of 35 architects, they work on a wide range of projects: from private assignments, renovation of historic buildings to housing, office buildings and bridges as well as big scale urban masterplans.
One of their main focal points is museum architecture: the renovation and extension of the Swiss National Museum in Zurich as well as the extension of Basel's Kunstmuseum are underway. Built projects by Christ & Gantenbein are to be found in Switzerland, Germany, England, China and Mexico.
After many teaching assignments in Switzerland and abroad, Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein took up professorships at the ETH Zurich in 2010.
The student-run bar will be open in Triangeln for the occasion – welcome!
This event is hosted by the Stockholm Association of Architects through Olof Grip and Tobias Nissen, in collaboration with the KTH School of Architecture.
