"Building in Basel" is a comprehensive architecture guide that details the construction history of the city of Basel between the two World Wars. With a wealth of images, floor plans, and drawings, the book provides an in-depth look at forty significant buildings from this era. The authors present a wide range of building types in five tours, including commercial and industrial buildings, cooperative and multi-family houses, cultural institutions, religious buildings, outdoor swimming pools, and hospitals. Each building is introduced with a description, information on the year of construction, architect, and client, as well as its use. Historical and current photos, along with floor plans that show the integration of the buildings into their surroundings, make this work a valuable reference for architecture enthusiasts and urban history fans. An alphabetical index in the appendix complements the information about the architects and their construction activities both domestically and abroad.
