Christian Vogt was born in Basel in 1946. His work is shown in renowned museums, galleries, and institutions around the world and part of private and public collections. Vogt is author or co-author of numerous books and catalogues, and the subject of many others worldwide.

Günther Vogt was born 1957 in Liechtenstein. His training at Gartenbauschule Oeschberg provided the practical basis for his intensive landscape work. His knowledge of vegetation and his skills in cultivation continue to be the cornerstones of his work. His studies with Peter Erni, Jürg Altherr and Dieter Kienast at Interkantonales Technikum Rapperswil combined the disciplines of culture, design, and natural sciences. In 2000 his office VOGT Landscape Architects emerged from the partnership with Dieter Kienast, with current branches in Berlin, London and Paris. The firm gained international recognition through projects such as the Tate Modern in London, Allianz Arena in Munich, or the Masoala Rainforest Hall at the Zurich Zoo. The work is characterized by a strong design attitude across scales, the cross-disciplinary exchange and fruitful cooperation with artist. From 2005 to 2022, GŸnther Vogt headed the Chair of Landscape Architecture at the ETH Zurich. In 2012 he was visiting professor at Havard Graduate School of Design and was awarded the Prix Meret Oppenheim by the Federal Office of Culture. As a passionate collector and keen traveler, he is looking for ways to read, interpret, and describe landscapes, and finding answers to questions about future forms of urban coexistence.

Olafur Eliasson (*1967 in Kopenhagen) is one of the most renowned contemporary artists. He is based in Berlin where he has established Studio Olafur Eliasson, a laboratory for spatial research. In his work, he explores the relationship between individuals and their surroundings, like in his 2003 installation The Weather Project for the Tate modern in London. Eliasson lives and works in Berlin and Copenhagen.
