Piet Eckert and Wim Eckert studied architecture at ETH Zurich and gained professional experience at OMA before founding E2A in 2001. Both are full professors at Dortmund Technical University and have taught at leading institutions, including the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio. Headquartered in Zurich, with offices in Berlin and Warsaw, E2A works across Europe on a wide range of public, cultural, corporate, and residential projects. Notable works include the taz publishing house in Berlin, the Deaconry Bethanien and School Campus Moos in Rüschlikon/Kilchberg, and the Geistlich Areal housing development in Schlieren. The practice’s approach is defined by hybrid systems and slender, efficient structural solutions that yield buildings resilient on multiple levels. In recent years, E2A has focused on urban transformation and inner-city densification through projects of greater scale and typological diversity. Key examples include WankdorfCity3 in Bern, the Zurich Nord High-Rise, in.grid in Berlin and MHub IPZ in Zurich-Dübendorf. Their work has been published internationally, including in AV Monografías and a+u.
