Günther Vogt (*1957) studied landscape architecture at the Intercantonal Technical College in Rapperswil after completing his training as a gardener. VOGT Landscape Architects emerged from the former partnership with Dieter Kienast in Zurich in 2000, followed by branch offices in London (2008), Berlin (2010) and Paris (2019). Since 2005, he has taught as a professor at the Institute for Landscape and Urban Studies (LUS) at the Department of Architecture (D-ARCH) at ETH Zurich. In 2012 he was a visiting professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and was awarded the Prix Meret Oppenheim in the same year. In 2010 Günther Vogt opened the Case Studio VOGT as a platform for interdisciplinary projects between teaching and practice. As a passionate collector and curious traveller, he searches for ways to read, interpret and describe the landscape, finding answers to questions about future forms of urban coexistence. His work is characterised by an exchange between different disciplines and cooperation with artists.
