For almost two decades, the architectural duo Niklaus Graber & Christoph Steiger from Lucerne has been working continuously on the design and implementation of high-quality buildings, which can undoubtedly be seen as an enriching contribution to Swiss building culture. Although the architects strive for a general understanding and a timeless readability in their work, they take the risk of a fundamental questioning of the respective task with each design. This often results in surprising interpretations and tailor-made solutions that reveal the specifics of each task. In addition to private homes and residential buildings, the plant now also comprises a considerable number of public buildings for education, culture, industry or tourism, which meet with a great response in domestic and foreign professional circles. For example, the expansion of the factory for a window factory in Hagendorn, the therapy center for the Curative Education Center Uri or the panoramic gallery on Pilatus Kulm were given national and international architectural prizes. The book project is curated by the architectural critic Hubertus Adam. In essays and interviews with other well-known authors, such as the art and architectural historian Philip Ursprung, different aspects of the architectural attitude of Niklaus Graber and Christoph Steiger are illuminated.
