- Summary:
- "Penzel Valier is one of Switzerland's leading architecture and structural engineering firms. In seventeen years, they have realized projects that uniquely demonstrate the interplay between the two disciplines. Their portfolio includes a wide range of different typologies, including transportation and infrastructure buildings, office and sports structures, as well as housing, interior design, and objects. This first monograph on Penzel Valier combines the fundamentals of their design principles with a presentation of their key buildings and projects. Essays by distinguished authors examine the firm's work from different perspectives. A detailed illustrated complete catalog of their built, unrealized, and ongoing projects since 2007 rounds off this comprehensive volume"--Back cover.
