In recent years, and apart from the mainstream of British architecture, Florian Beigel and Philip Christou have been developing remarkable building projects at their Architecture Research Unit (ARU). Thanks to their minimalist approach, these have met with particularly great interest in Switzerland. This publication features twelve projects by focusing not on the finished buildings, but on the planning processes. An introductory essay by Beigel and Christou elucidates both their approach to design and their research activities.
