A Swiss architect born in 1962, Christian KEREZ graduated from the École Polytechnique in Zurich and created his agency in 1993.
A long interview and a description of his recent projects (the Modern Art Museum of Warsaw, the Leutschenbach school and the single-wall house in Zurich, Swiss Re headquarters…) focus on his career and bring up the particularities of his work and the agency’s current prospects.
Circumventing and reinterpreting the many regulatory constraints in the building sector, Christian KEREZ gives the architect’s position back strength and meaning. Work far from conventions.
