Valerio Olgiati’s latest book is about the beauty of the very varied<br />
buildings designed by the Swiss architect, captured in color photographs<br />
and plans. The fifteen projects, around half of them realized<br />
since the publication of Olgiati’s most recent monograph<br />
in 2018, are featured in this exquisite small volume for the first<br />
time as finished buildings.<br />
Indoor and outdoor shots show Olgiati’s intuition for spectacular<br />
buildings and atmospheric interiors—from the museum for the<br />
UNESCO world cultural heritage site in Bahrain to the Céline<br />
flagship store in Miami, from the office building for Baloise Insurance’s<br />
headquarters in Basel to the bedroom of the French<br />
fashion designer Nicolas Ghesquière, from the visitor center of<br />
the Swiss National <strong>Park</strong> to the atelier for the musician Linard<br />
Bardill in Scharans.<br />
The projects are presented through color photographs, floor<br />
plans, and sections. The elegant book design follows the style of<br />
Olgiati’s highly successful previous book, The Images of Architects.<br />
