a new addition to his formal and investigatory body of work, antony gibbon generates ?vessel,? a towering architectural object in austere concrete. programmed as a research center, the speculative building is characterized by a pair of slender, bifurcated stone discs revealing a narrow channel of interstitial glazing.

 
 
mexico-based architectural designer antony gibbon situates his latest project ?vessel? among the alps of switzerland. the formal project expresses a distinctive relationship with its context, clearly separate from the typical building typology of the region, while simultaneously offering a visual continuity with the jagged alpine peaks in its profile and materiality.
