Christian Kerez belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Christian Kerez as Swiss architect.
Christian Kerez was born at Maracaibo in 1962. His recorded nationality is Switzerland. He trained at ETH Zurich.
Contemporary practice is global, computational and preoccupied with energy: the profession's central question is now what a building costs the climate.
He is recorded as architect, photographer and university teacher.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
That the work was built in Switzerland shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Christian Kerez is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
