Sinposis

Zurich-based architecture firm EM2N has been working on urban transformation processes ever since its establishment in 1997. More than half of their projects consist of conversions of existing buildings, resulting in numerous successes and few failures, small structures and large-scale complexes, quick decisions, and slow processes. What unites the designs, projects, and texts featured in this book is a profound interest in the concept of the city as an exciting, contradictory, and above all productive space of human life.
