We mourn the loss of our dear friend and board president Marcel Meili

–

We’re sad to announce that early this month architect and urbanist Marcel Meili (1953–2019) passed away. Marcel Meili was not only a visionary and influential exponent of the Swiss architecture scene; he was a committed longtime patron of our publishing houses and a trusted friend. After Heiner Spiess’ passing in 2006, Marcel Meili became president of the supervisory board of Scheidegger & Spiess, a role he took on with much enthusiasm. Together with his brothers, he also played an important part in the founding of Park Books and our bookstore Never Stop Reading. We will remember Marcel as a deeply inspiring person.

Never Stop Reading

–

The bookstore Never Stop Reading is located in Zurich's old town, only a few steps from the Kunsthaus, the University, and ETH. The store features a broad range of international publications on architecture, photography, art, and design, as well as a section of general-interest English books. The new spaces can be used for small exhibitions and we'll be hosting a diverse program of book launches, readings, panel discussions . . . We're looking forward to seeing you there!
