Gigon & Guyer: Museum Liner Appenzell

The Zurich architect couple Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer are known for creating places for intense contemplation. After the Kirchner Muscum at Davos, their new museum project at Appenzell also exhibits a powerful, idiosyneratic sense of aesthetics. The Liner Museum - completed in 1998 and dedicated to the Appenzell father-and-son painters Carl August and Carl Walter Liner - presents itself as a sculptural design that succeeds in both integrating the new structure into the rural surroundings and the surroundings into the building.
