SWITZERLAND 

Over the last two decades, a broad range of commissions has given shape to Christ and Gantenbein's growing body of work. Award-winning projects such as the renovations and extensions to the Kunstmuseum in Basel (2016) and the Swiss National Museum in Zurich (2016), as well as the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne (ongoing) have strengthen the office's expertise in the development of museum buildings. Housing schemes in Paris and Germany, as well as the Lindt Chocolate Competence Centre in Switzerland are, among others, currently on the drawing board. 

Sauter von Moos is an architecture studio established in Basel, Switzerland, in 2010, by Florian Sauter and Charlotte von Moos. The studio engages in work on all scales, both in theory and practice. Aiming for places of authenticity, their architecture of the in-between seeks for unique spatial responses to each specific task and situation with the goal to create discrete backgrounds for life. 

This event is part of the EUROPA– Connecting Ideas Across Borders talks series. The EUROPA Talks Series is generously supported by L.K.E. Ozolins and The London Community Foundation and Cockayne - Grants for the Arts.
