Quote "in judging the acceptability of his design’s exceptionally long primary facades, it was to Jacopo Sansovino’s Marciana Library in Venice that Märkli turned for a point of comparison — a building that has been with us for more than four centuries."

Er.. that's stretching it a bit, isn't it? (pardon the pun). Sansovino’s library may be long, and Märkli's building is long too. But there the resemblance ends.
