Curjel & Moser was an architectural firm set up by Robert Curjel and Karl Moser in 1888 in Karlsruhe, Germany. They designed about 400 buildings in Germany and Switzerland. In 1915, following the start of the World War I, the firm was dissolved and Moser became professor at ETH Zurich. Many of the office's surviving buildings are now listed monuments. In Karlsruhe-Knielingen, Curjel-und-Moser-Strasse was named after the architects in 2008.

Karl Coelestin Moser was a Swiss architect and professor who became known in Switzerland as the "father of modern architecture". As co-founder of Curjel & Moser, he designed major public buildings including the Kunsthaus Zürich, the main building of the University of Zurich and Basel Badischer Bahnhof. Over the course of his career, his work shifted from historically influenced architecture towards modern design, exemplified by St. Anton Church in Basel. Moser later taught at ETH Zurich and served as the inaugural president of the Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne from 1928 to 1930.
