This opulent photo book is dedicated to the Anna-Seiler-Haus in Bern. The new sixteen-storey building forms the centrepiece - also known as the Coeur de l'île - of the Inselspital, which is visible from afar in the cityscape. In general, visual relation-
ships play a decisive role in orientation within the building and localisation in the urban context. The photographer HGEsch has succeeded in staging the collaborative work of the three architectural firms in a magnificent way across all scales, with surprising glimpses of details, views into and out of the neighbourhood and brilliant panoramic shots with the Bernese Alps on the horizon.
