Summary:
Novartis Campus at Basel will be an international significant place of knowledge, innovation and encounters, characterized by far-reaching visions of urban space and architecture. Peter Märklis Visitor Center is the second building to be finished in that area and will be followed by others to be designed and realized by invited architects. With his building Peter Märkli is relying on architecture's traditional terminology in order to win back lost or forgotten values. This is achieved within contemporary forms and composition and also means exposing the inherent qualities of the materials. Champagne-coloured profiles at the outside, gleaming marble at the inside, yew- and olive-wood as well as cast aluminium at the banisters and the lettering create a richness and variety of materialisation. This publication presents photos of Paolo Rosselli und Goran Potkonjak as well as drawings and sketches by Peter Märkli, showing his design strategy. Ulrike Jehle-Schulte Strathaus has written an introduction to the building, also appreciating the artistic contributions by Jenny Holzer, Alex Herter und Bringolf, Irion, Vögeli as integral parts of the building.

Summary:
Basel-born architect Max Alioth was a prominent figure on the Swiss architecture and culture scene. Alioth was a co-founder of Basels’ Architecture Museum in 1984, which in 2006 became the Swiss Architecture Museum (S AM). Together with his wife Susanna Biedermann, he founded the École Supérieure des Arts Visuels (ÉSAV) in Marrakech, Morocco, for which he also designed the main campus building. This first monograph on Max Alioth illuminates his achievements from various perspectives. Selected architectural designs from 1961–2007 are featured in detail through photographs, plans, and texts. These include single-family homes, a retirement home, multi-unit housing, Basel’s Museum of Antiquities, as well as the ÉSAV building in Marrakech. Moreover, the book introduces Alioth also as a visual artist through reproductions of sketches, drawings, and watercolors. Essays by architect Roger Diener, the S AM’s director Andreas Ruby, the director of ÉSAV Vincent Melilli, and art historian and publicist Ulrike Jehle-Schulte Strathaus round out this volume.

Summary:
In the coming years, “Novartis Campus” is destined to fundamentally alter the appearance and character of the Novartis plant located in the Johan quarter of Basel Stadt – transforming the former production site into a centre of knowledge, innovation and encounter. Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani's master-plan envisages having particular buildings designed and constructed by invited architects. This monograph focuses on the first building in the Novartis Campus. Designed and built by Roger Diener, Helmut Federle and Gerold Wiederin, the impressive house has a glass facade with staggered coloured windowpanes and exquisite interiors. The different aspects of the building are highlighted by Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Martin Steinmann, Jan Thorn-Prikker and Ulrike Jehle-Schulte Strathaus. The volume also includes an essay by Christian Richters, illustrated by photographs, numerous plans and an inventory.
