Description

From 1996-2000 the renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron built a new research centre together with a library, auditorium and cafeteria for the pharmaceutical company Roche in Basle. Situated on the outskirts of the town on the edge of the industrial area, the building was to include a closed section for laboratories yet should also be publicly accessible: the ideal starting point for an interdisciplinary solution.

Artist Rmy Zaugg worked together with the architects developing the colours used. In particular he created a dramatic blue wall, which separates public and closed areas. 'The artist enters into the problem of the architect or the urban planner and the architect takes an interest in the artist. The only thing that counts is the project and its development.' (Rmy Zaugg).

This publication documents the entire project from its genesis to the completed construction, using texts, sketches, plans and photographs. More than a mere monograph, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the creative collaboration occurring between architects and artists.
