The conversation between the artist Marc Camille Chaimowicz and the architect Roger Diener departs from their collaboration ’The Armadillo House’ in Basel. Rather than striving to build a ＂Meisterhaus＂ - an idealised representation of Diener & Diener’s architectural programme - they joined forces with someone who seems at first sight to be a most unlikely contributor to their project. The collaboration between artist and architect has led to a result that goes far beyond conventional parameters. The book is the fifteenth title in the book series ’Art and Architecture in Discussion’. Previous volumes include conversations between Jacques Herzog and Jeff Wall; Sarah Morris with Philip Ursprung or Hedi Slimane, Peter Saville and Thomas Demand, among many others.
