A lively photographic encounter with buildings by Swiss architecture firm Aebi & Vincent supplemented by literary snapshots.

For more than 25 years, Swiss architects Bernhard Aebi and Pascal Vincent have been running their practice with offices in Bern and Geneva. Housing is one of the firm's main fields of activity, yet it has also won a number of high-profile public commissions, such as the restoration and reconstruction of Switzerland's national parliament building in Berne, the renovation of the Swiss National Bank's Berne headquarters, and the south wing of Zurich's main train station.

The images by photographers Adrian Scheidegger and Alexander Jaquemet, both longtime companions of the architects, demonstrate how the spaces they created gradually and naturally integrate with their environment. Writer Gianna Molinari joined Scheidegger and Jaquemet on their expeditions to Aebi & Vincent's buildings. Her literary snapshots supplement the images in this volume, stimulating our imagination of the inner life of these structures and their occupants.

AUTHORS: Alexander Jaquemet is a Swiss photographer best known for his atmospheric black-and-white landscape images.

Adrian Scheidegger is a Berne-based artist and photographer, working also as a consultant for colour and material concepts for Swiss architecture firm Aebi & Vincent.
