Archilab. Dialogue between time and space. Gabriele M. Rossi Architect

After thirty-five years of activity, Archilab and its thirty collaborators have now achieved international recognition. Primarily active in Switzerland, the architecture and urban planning office has carried out iconic projects such as the MSC headquarters in Geneva, the Martin Bodmer Foundation in Cologny, the Élysée Photography Museum in Lausanne, the automobile museum currently under construction in Pregny, or the new medical research centre in Genolier. Archilab is also renowned for its numerous residential buildings and individual villas, which are often awarded and recognized in the specialized press. Outside of Switzerland, Archilab has developed projects such as the Swiss International School in Dubai, the La Prairie Clinic in Doha, as well as shopping centres in Mauritania and Denmark, in addition to residential buildings in France and Italy. This book is a testament to the work of a team within a laboratory constantly seeking innovative solutions for an increasingly discerning clientele, in a context where historical sensitivity and sustainability have become essential.

Gabriele M. Rossi, a graduate in architecture and urban planning from Columbia University in 1985, contributed to the planning of Battery Park City in New York before joining EPFL in 1989. That same year, he founded the architecture firm Archilab. With over 500 projects completed in Switzerland and abroad, Archilab has distinguished itself through prestigious competitions and major achievements such as the MSC headquarters in Geneva, the Élysée Museum in Lausanne, and the Clinique La Prairie in Doha.
