Immersive

You stand back and in a way, the reason it’s interesting is because it stands out, it doesn’t fit in, it doesn’t look like anything you’ve seen. But this is not really my position — generally. There might be moments where such a performance is necessary but we like to find a stronger relationship between the familiar and the unfamiliar. My feeling is that when a building is too self-referential, the audience is distanced; architecture becomes something that you look at. [Like in a cathedral or a monument?] Right, it’s a spectacle — whereas I think for 99% of the time, architecture is something that you should be inside and absorbed by. It’s something which convinces you by experience more than impresses you by image.

~ David Chipperfield, from David Chipperfield – The Talks

I think that tension exists in any creative endeavor. Perhaps, the existence of that tension is what defines something as being creative?

The exhibition spaces are located on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Many of them use natural daylight, be it through windows or skylights.

Kunsthaus Zürich's new extension building, designed by David Chipperfield Architects, was inaugurated on October 9, 2021. The repeating vertical fins on the museum's facade were created from local Jurassic limestone. The nightly illumination is by Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist. #zurich #architecture #photography #davidchipperfield #mastoart
