Projects 2000–12

Günther Vogt describes the theoretical foundation on which the successful projects of Vogt Landscape Architects are based. In recent years they have realized international projects in Europe and the United States, including a new type of city park for the Tate Modern in London (with Herzog & de Meuron); an “all-weather garden” with great poetic power at the Hyatt Hotel in Zurich (with Meili, Peter Architekten); an indoor tropical garden for the Novartis Campus in Basel (with Diener & Diener); and the exterior spaces of the Allianz Arena in Munich (with Herzog & de Meuron). The updated edition shows the finished projects that were presented as plans in the previous edition.

Günther Vogt

Günther Vogt was born 1957 in Liechtenstein. His training at Gartenbauschule Oeschberg provided the practical basis for his intensive landscape work. His knowledge of vegetation and his skills in cultivation continue to be the cornerstones of his work. His studies with Peter Erni, Jürg Altherr and Dieter Kienast at Interkantonales Technikum Rapperswil combined the disciplines of culture, design, and natural sciences. In 2000 his office VOGT Landscape Architects emerged from the partnership with Dieter Kienast, with current branches in Berlin, London and Paris. The firm gained international recognition through projects such as the Tate Modern in London, Allianz Arena in Munich, or the Masoala Rainforest Hall at the Zurich Zoo. The work is characterized by a strong design attitude across scales, the cross-disciplinary exchange and fruitful cooperation with artist. From 2005 to 2022, GŸnther Vogt headed the Chair of Landscape Architecture at the ETH Zurich. In 2012 he was visiting professor at Havard Graduate School of Design and was awarded the Prix Meret Oppenheim by the Federal Office of Culture. As a passionate collector and keen traveler, he is looking for ways to read, interpret, and describe landscapes, and finding answers to questions about future forms of urban coexistence.
