Bob Gysin Partner: De aedibus

Founded in 1976 by Bob Gysin, BGP is now run by four partners in a collective structure. The architecture of the Zurich-based firm is based on radical simplicity: geometric shapes such as squares and rectangles, combined with a high degree of versatility. While sustainability and an innovative spirit characterise all processes, the projects are distinguished by a close dialogue with art. The range of constructed and renovated buildings by BGP includes housing, research, teaching and school facilities, retirement homes and complex planning projects such as the Im Park area development in Dietikon.
