Concept 

The book presents the semester-work of the architecture office Christ & Gantenbein at the ETHZ. The content is divided in three chapters: essays, a catalog of buildings (each displayed with floorplan, technical information and a picture) and finally a sequence of pictures that document the building in its urban context. This enables the reader to acces the different information and atmospheres just as he pleases.
