history

Marcus Diener (born September 24, 1918 Basel, † August 2, 1999 Basel) founded the company Marcus Diener Architekt in 1942. His son Roger Diener (born March 7, 1950 in Basel) studied architecture at the ETH Zurich , among others with Luigi Snozzi . In 1976 Diener graduated from Dolf Schnebli . He then joined the company, which he has been running under the name Diener & Diener Architects since 1978 with Dieter Righetti and Andreas Rüedi and has been managing it with Terese Erngaard, Michael Roth and Andreas Rüedi since 2011.

"With his buildings, Diener contrasts building, which is aimed at rapid consumption and consumption, with architecture with simple patterns, typologies and means used sparingly," said the jury in its reasoning for the award of the Heinrich Tessenow Medal in 2011.
