This monograph is the only comprehensive work on the Swiss architectural firm Diener & Diener, known for their Modernist designs. It spans over 30 years of the firm's practice, featuring more than 40 key buildings, archival material, and writings by Roger Diener alongside essays by architectural historians.
Written by Joseph Abram, this book presents and fully documents the last buildings and a selection of projects of Devanthery and Lamuniere's works. The text focuses on the creative process of the architects, the design methods, the architectonic development and cultural background of the key aspects of their architecture. The book is beautifully designed by Dominique Emmenegger in continuity with the first monography Fo(u)r Example(s), 1996. Photographs by Fausto Pluchinotta document the buildings, projects, as well as the drawings, models, and objects which surround and give depth to the quality of Devanthery & Lamuniere's built projects.
