About Christ & Gantenbein
Christ & Gantenbein is an architecture practice headquartered in Basel, founded in 1998 by Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein. Both are professors at ETH Zurich and combine professional practice with typological research.
The practice works on museums, housing, offices, hospitals and urban plans, with well-known works including the extension of the Swiss National Museum in Zurich and of Kunstmuseum Basel, as well as Lindt Home of Chocolate. Its architecture seeks durable, clear forms adapted to each programme.
For large-scale cultural commissions in Switzerland, Christ & Gantenbein brings experience in extensions to historic buildings and complex urban projects, with an international office firmly rooted in Basel.
