Christ & Gantenbein Review is a new series of books edited by
Swiss architects Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, in which
they explore issues and topics arising from their architectural
work. 'Pictures From Italy', the series' initial volume, also
represents Christ & Gantenbein's first architectural project
after they had setup their studio in Basel. The pictures were shot
during a six week journey throughout Italy in 1999. The journey
itself and the images seen and taken proved to be of fundamental
influence to Christ & Gantenbein's entire work since. Intending
to look at historical architecture, in a quasi-unhistorical way,
with the contemporary view of the 21st century, they chose Italy in
search for absolute timelessness. In 'Pictures From Italy' these
pictures are juxtaposed with images of Christ & Gantenbein's
built projects, making traceable the lasting impact of their
Italian journey on their realised buildings in Switzerland and
abroad. There is no direct causal relationship between Italy and
their architecture. Yet this book aims to illustrate Christ &
Gantenbein's general architectural philosophy and not at
delineating an architectural genealogy of their work. It expresses
the continuity of the architectural through the coexistence of the
pictures. Text in English and German.
