Life

Annete Gigon graduated from the ETH in Zurich in 1984. In 1989 she founded Gigon/Guyer Architects, based in Zurich. Their firm soon became internationally known by their museum designs (Kirchner Museum in Davos, the Museum Extension in Winterthur, Kunstmuseum Appenzell, and the Archaeological Museum and Park in Kalkriese near Osnabrück, Germany). Moreover, they have shared their time between more museum projects (the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne, for instance) and developing new solutions for both exclusive and cost-effective residential architecture and office buildings. Between their noticeable examples are the office high-rise Prime Tower in Zurich, the Würth Haus Rorschach, and the remodeling of the Löwenbräu-Areal.[2]

In 2003 she became a member of the Academy of Arts, Berlin.[3] She has been profesor at ETH Zurich since 2012.[2]
