AV Proyectos 113: Christ & Gantenbein

The 113th issue of ‘AV Proyectos’ is dedicated to Basel-based studio Christ & Gantenbein, founded in 1998 by Emmanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein. They established a delicate aesthetic balancing the new and the existing, with designs that blend in with the urban environment rather than ostentatiously assert their presence. Highlighting a selection of the most recent projects that are distinguished in major international competitions, this issue features Pont Neuf in Aarau, Switzerland, in which a concrete bridge from 1949 is replaced with a stone bridge with five openings; the Vaugirard Housing scheme of more than a hundred social housing units in Paris, France; and many more.
