This issue looks at continuity, disruption, and evolution in the works of Christ & Gantebein. For this Basel-based firm, founded in 1998 and headed by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, constraints in site and programme are welcome opportunities to create spatial surprises. Whether through experimentations in the museum typology, such as the extension of the Swiss National Museum, or domestic architecture, as evidenced by Vaugirard Social Housing, their approach goes beyond recreating basic functions to provide sensitive solutions in terms of urban repair and contemporary spatial issues. Besides recent projects, the issue contains a conversation with the architects.
