How do our cities evolve, what forces drive their evolution, and how exactly do they change as a result? Zurich-based architecture firm EM2N has been working on urban transformation processes ever since its establishment in 1997. Initially, the firm’s main focus was on the greater Zurich area, yet in recent years they have also developed and realized projects in Berlin, Brussels, and Hamburg. Over time, a diverse body of work has grown, more than half of which consists of conversions of existing buildings, resulting in numerous successes and a few failures, small structures and large-scale complexes, quick decisions and slow processes. What unites the designs, projects, and texts featured in this first monograph on EM2N is a profound interest in the concept of the city as an exciting, contradictory, and above all productive space of human life that the founding partners Mathias Müller and Daniel Niggli have maintained throughout their twenty-five years of collaboration. In EM2N—City Factory they offer a self-critical review of their achievements and also speak about learning processes, personal interests, and conceptual approaches to future tasks in ever-changing cities. This is supplemented with contributions from fellow architects and friends as well as with a wealth of photographs, plans, drawings, and other illustrations.

Aus der einst modernsten Grossmolkerei Europas ist eine Kunsthochschule geworden: Auf dem Toni-Areal in Zürich-West sind seit Herbst 2014 die Studierenden und Lehrenden der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste ZHdK zu Hause. Das Zürcher Architekturbüro EM2N hat die kolossale Gebäudestruktur beim Umbau zur Kunsthochschule bewahrt und die ehemalige "Joghurtfabrik" zu einer Stadt im Haus umgewandelt. Das neue Raumprogramm ist durchlässig und ermöglicht so eine zeitgemässe Lern- und Lehrumgebung, die sich - im Sinne der Wissensarchitektur - zum urbanen Umfeld öffnet. Ateliers, Büros, Konzert- und Hörsäle, Ausstellungsräume, Kino, Museum, Musikklub, Gastronomie und 100 Mietwohnungen liegen hier Tür an Tür.Das Buch dokumentiert die Wandlung und beobachtet die Aneignung des Toni-Areals. Zahlreiche Fotografien und Pläne zeigen den Umbauprozess und das alltägliche Mitund Nebeneinander unterschiedlicher Mentalitäten und Arbeitsweisen der Künste, des Designs und der Vermittlung. Until the year 2000, Toni was a dairy factory, and its signature yoghurt packed in small brown glass jars, was one of Switzerland's best-known food staples. After production had been relocated to another part of Switzerland the vast plant, situated in Zurich's up-and-coming former industrial neighbourhood, was soon occupied by clubs and trendy restaurants as well as by many artists setting-up their studios here. Between 2011 and 2014 it was converted into the new home of Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK. The design by Swiss architects EM2N kept the building's basic structure and offers up-to-date educational facilities. The entire complex, comprising also a museum, restaurants, a music club as well as 100 apartments, is open to the urban environment. This new book documents the history and metamorphosis of the Toni plant. Richly illustrated with photographs, plans, and graphic art, it shows the premises industrial past, the complex reconstruction process, and its new function as a place where all the different mentalities and ways to study, to teach, and to work in the field of art coexist.

En Suisse, l'architecture contemporaine est marquée par l'influence de Peter Zumthor et de Herzog & de Meuron, lauréats du prix Pritzker, ainsi que par celle d'autres architectes suisses de premier plan.Cet ouvrage présente 25 bâtiments conçus et construits en Suisse par 15 architectes suisses importants: de la construction en milieu urbain à haute densité au site rural en contexte alpin, ces bâtiments sont des exemples du savoir-faire et des matériaux traditionnels, ainsi que de la technologie et du génie civil modernes. Des photographies grand format donnent à voir les proportions, les matériaux et les détails de chaque bâtiment. Quatre auteurs, avec un regard intérieur ou extérieur selon les cas, analysent la culture suisse de la construction et sa haute qualité architecturale. Dans une interview détaillée, Peter Zumthor présente son approche de la conception architecturale.
