Publisher's Synopsis
This opulent photo book is dedicated to the Anna-Seiler-Haus in Bern. The new sixteen-storey building forms the centrepiece - also known as the Coeur de l'île - of the Inselspital, which is visible from afar in the cityscape. In general, visual relationships play a decisive role in orientation within the building and localisation in the urban context. The photographer HGEsch has succeeded in staging the collaborative work of the three architectural firms in a magnificent way across all scales, with surprising glimpses of details, views into and out of the neighbourhood and brilliant panoramic shots with the Bernese Alps on the horizon. Text in English, German and French.
