Adam Caruso and Peter St John have been practicing together for more than 30 years, and with the release of this issue their firm is completing a series of major buildings, like the Swiss Life Arena for the ZSC Lions hockey team in Zurich and Royal Belge, an ambitious renovation of a landmark corporate building. The firm is known for carefully analysing the existing situation, be it the sociocultural context or an older building, to create a unique architecture that inform both materiality and detail. The nineteen works in this issue offer an overview of their more recent efforts and include the Caterbury Cathedral Organ Loft, St Jakob Foundation, Lycée Hôtelier de Lille, and Görtz Palais.
