Content

Novartis Campus at Basel will be characterized by far-reaching visions of urban space and architecture. The first new building on the Campus - «Forum 3» by Diener, Federle, Wiederin - was finished in 2005, followed by «Fabrikstrasse 6» of Peter Märkli. The third building - «Fabrikstrasse 4» by SANAA - was opened in autumn 2006.

The two partners who lead SANAA, Ryue Nishizawa and Kazuyo Sejima, have designed a building that disregards all the rules of historical architecture: a rack, without a facade, with no hierarchy in its structure, and not responding in any way to the maxim of the pre-modern city. Essentially there are two materials: a light coloured structure in in-situ concrete clad with glass.

This publication presents works by Walter Niedermayr as well as numerous plans.
