His new book, with equally opulent design and again lavishly illustrated, now documents the entire range of his achievements over nearly twenty-five years. His oeuvre comprises private houses and multi-unit residential buildings, public buildings such as museums or libraries, as well as infrastructure designs. A focus of the firm&#8217;s work is the rebuilding and restoration of existing and in particular of historic buildings.  <b><i>Close-up &#8211; Ruch &amp; Partner Architects 1994-2016<\/i><\/b> features all of the firm&#8217;s realised buildings and projects to date, including the restored historic houses in the Engadine with the careful and sensitive contemporary interventions that made his name internationally known. Each is presented with atmospheric photographs and selected plans that demonstrate the firm&#8217;s approach and concepts and with a concise text.
