Peter Märkli, internationally renowned architect and architectural educator, studied architecture at ETH Zurich between 1972 and 1977. During this time, he became acquainted with the architect Rudolf Olgiati and the sculptor Hans Josephsohn, and began a systematic exploration of questions of proportion. In 1978 Märkli started his own office in Zurich and has long explored the relationship between architectural language and architectural expression through façade drawings. He also served as an External Examiner at London Metropolitan University. From 2002 to 2015, he was Professor of Architectural Design at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich. Since 2013, he has been a Visiting Professor at the MARCH School of Architecture. In 2016, he was elected an International Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
马克力的作品包括大量不同规模的住宅建筑，如最早与戈迪·屈尼斯（ Gody Kühnis）合作完成的双拼住宅（1979），萨尔甘斯的多户住宅（1986），苏黎世霍尔街含餐厅的多户住宅（2005），苏黎世古特街住宅（ 2013）等，以及用于陈列汉斯·约瑟夫松浮雕与雕塑作品的拉·孔琼塔展馆（1992）；巴塞尔大教堂新管风琴项目（2003）；苏黎世比尔希学校（2006）；巴塞尔诺华访客中心（2006）；索洛图恩辛塞斯总部大楼（2012）；苏黎世贝尔瓦公园酒店与餐饮管理学校（2014）；苏黎世古特街总体规划（2015-2017）等，主要收录在《近似：彼得·马克力的建筑》（2002）、《凡所创造，皆为真实》（2017）两本作品集中。此外，他曾参加2012年威尼斯建筑双年展，并曾在巴塞尔、伦敦、哥本哈根、布杰约维采、萨默塞特、莫斯科和东京等地展出其绘图作品；这些绘图作品部分收录在《彼得·马克力：绘图》（2015）中。
His work includes a large number of residential buildings of different scales, such as the early houses completed in collaboration with Gody Kühnis (1979/1982), the multi-family housing project in Sargans (1986), the mixed-use apartment building with restaurant on Hohlstrasse in Zurich (2005), as well as La Congiunta, a building for the reliefs and sculptures by Hans Josephsohn, Giornico (1992), The new organ at the cathedral in Basel (2003), Im Birch school, Zurich (2006), Novartis visitor center, in Basel (2006), the headquarters building for Synthes, in Solothurn (2012), Belvoirpark Hotel and Restaurant management school, in Zurich (2014), Gutstrasse housing, in Zurich (2013), Masterplan Gutstrasse, in Zurich (2015-2017). These projects are primarily documented in two monographs Approximations: The Architecture of Peter Märkli（London: Architecture Association Publications, 2002), Everything One Invents is True (Lucerne: Quart, 2017). Märkli also participated in the Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2012 and has exhibited his drawings in Basel, London, Copenhagen, Budweis, Somerset, Moscow and Tokyo. A selection of these works is published in Zeichnungen / Drawings Peter Märkli (Lucerne: Quart , 2015)
“空”与“边界”是彼得·马克力在苏黎世联邦理工学院担任建筑与构造学教授期间教学中的核心主题。课程中的设计任务要求学生提出一种关于生活的理解，并使其在建筑结构中得到体现。在这一过程中，对“空”——即外部空间——的组织与表达，与立面的塑造以及内外之间界面的设计被认为具有同等重要的根本性意义。在2015年秋季马克力结束其教学工作之际，苏黎世联邦理工学院建筑系在由戈特弗里德·森佩尔设计的ETH主楼大厅举办了一场致敬展览。展览中呈现的约110件学生作品随后收录于配套出版物《彼得·马克力：苏黎世联邦理工学院建筑学教席（2002—2015）》（2016）中，在建筑设计教育领域产生了国际性影响。
“Emptiness” and “boundary” were central themes in Peter Märkli’s teaching during his tenure as Professor of Architecture and Construction at ETH Zurich. Design assignments in his studio asked students to formulate an understanding of life and to give it spatial and structural expression through architecture. In this process, the articulation of “emptiness”—that is, exterior space—was regarded as fundamentally important, alongside the expression of the façade and the design of the threshold between outside and inside. When Märkli concluded his teaching activities in the autumn of 2015, the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich organized a tribute exhibition in the main hall of the ETH main building designed by Gottfried Semper. Around 110 student projects presented in the exhibition were subsequently documented in the accompanying publication Märkli Professur für Architektur an der ETH Zürich 2002–2015 (Zurich: gta Verlag, 2016), exerting an international influence in the field of architectural design education.
