Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein are the founders of an award winning practice whose broad scale of work spans from private residential to institutional buildings, infrastructure and urban masterplans. Significant projects include the Kunstmuseum in Basel, won in an international competition and shortlisted for the RIBA International Prize 2018, and the Swiss National Museum in Zurich, both completed in 2016.
