Druckereihalle | Ackermannshof | St. Johanns-Vorstadt 19/21, Basel
Hardly anything confronts us so incessantly as the external appearance of our urban environment. The juxtaposition of familiar qualities and constant change is the background of our everyday lives. In his buildings, Roger Diener reacts sensitively as well as confidently to the given or found context. In his political function, Martin Steinmann cultivates the cityscape of Basel, balancing in the interplay between tradition and the present, conservation and renewal.
