Since they established their practice in 1989, Gigon / Guyer have expanded their practice from the design of art museums, including the international award-winning Kirchner Museum, to a succession of high-rise buildings that have been completed in recent years, including Prime Tower in Zurich. We visited Gigon / Guyer at their studio in Zurich to explore their process of designing windows and the philosophy that underpins it by looking at their previous projects.
