Marc Kocher

Marc Kocher (* 1965 in Bern) is a Swiss architect. He is considered a representative of New Urbanism, an architectural current that seeks to combine contemporary buildings with elements of classic European urban architecture.

Drawing Gran Teatro La Fenice by Marc Kocher

Life

View Prenzlauer Allee Backfabrik Berlin

After graduating from high school in Bern, Kocher Kocher studied architecture at the ETH Zürich,[1] with Fabio Reinhart, among others. Already during his studies, he began working in the Milan office of the Italian architect Aldo Rossi, a protagonist of the Italian current of Rationalism, and subsequently a pioneer of post-modernism. After completion his studies, Kocher continued working for Rossi from 1989 until Rossi’s death in 1997. During that time, he became Rossi's Junior-Partner[2] and was entrusted with the visual realization of Rossi's designs. Among others, he was in Rossi's team to design the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.[3][4][5] In 1993, Kocher opened Rossi's German subsidiary in Munich.

After Rossi's Milan office was liquidated, Kocher returned to Zurich and founded his own office under the name Marc Kocher Architekten in 1997. Besides the original office in Zurich, Marc Kocher Architekten has had a subsidiary in Berlin since 2011.[1]

In 1999 and 2000 Kocher took on a two-year guest professorship at the Syracuse University in New York State.[6][7]

Kocher lives and works in Berlin and Zurich. He is married and has two children.

Buildings

In 1998, Kocher realized his first original building in Berlin: A corner house that influenced the cityscape at the Hackescher Markt as part of the “Neuer Hackescher Markt” ensemble.[8]

Together with ARAssociati, he continued as of 1998 with the planning commenced with by Aldo Rossi for the reconstruction of the Venetian opera house Teatro La Fenice, which was destroyed by fire in 1996. Here he was primarily responsible for the reconstruction of the interior, especially of the sophisticated wall and ceiling decoration.[9][10] This participation in the reconstruction of the opera house from the year 1792 was Marc Kocher’s first principal work.

With the conversion and expansion of the so-called Backfabrik in 2001,[11] an industrial building in the Prenzlauer Allee in Berlin, the architect was successful in revitalizing a historic ensemble into a modern office and commercial location. With his concept, Kocher expanded the surviving old buildings of the Backfabrik with his own additions. The elevated lift tower of the building has since then been crowned by a 12-meter high light column visible from afar.

Development Müller Martini, Residential and commercial building

In subsequent years, Kocher realized a series of residential buildings and refurbished projects for existing structures, primarily in Berlin. Up to 2006, Kocher and the Milan agency ARAssociati, the successor to the previous agency of Rossi, realized a residential and office ensemble as a perimeter development on the business premises of the machinery manufacturer Müller-Martini in Zurich.[12]

Residential building Jablonskistraße

Influence & Repertoire

The influence of Rossi over the years is especially apparent in the street façades with their pronounced archways. Especially Kocher’s Berlin projects share a commitment to the European block of urban houses and the repertoire of historical typologies and façade elements.

New Urbanism

Despite his experience with the reconstruction of the Teatro La Fenice and the rededication of old buildings, Kocher differentiates himself from those representatives of New Urbanism who primarily occupy themselves with the imitation of historical forms of architecture. Instead, he looks for paths toward a contemporary reinterpretation of historical forms or establishes links with these through select typological citations. If the original façade of an existing building has been destroyed, he strives to give it back its character through the reconstruction of window frames, balustrades, and pilaster strips, etc.

Kocher initially draws all designs and the related views and isometric drawings in the classical manner by hand.[13] These colored architectural drawings are an indispensable component of his design process.[2][14]
