culture and city marketing
In 1997, the Guggenheim Museum opened in Bilbao, and Frank Gehry’s eccentric new building transformed the Basque city into a nighttime hotspot for international tourism. Since then, many places and cultural institutions have emulated this model. The so-called Bilbao effect became the recipe for success in city marketing and the star architect Frank Gehry his guarantor.
In this concept edition of Detail, we present theater and museum buildings that do not rely on the Bilbao Effect, but rather draw the meaning of their architecture from their context. Large or small, these structures in Tyrol, Schleswig-Holstein, Geneva and Aragón blend well with and become a part of their urban environment or natural landscape. Our process documentation dives deep into the extension of the Kunsthaus Zürich by Chipperfield Architects Berlin and the Volkstheater in Munich by LRO Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei. Enjoy the edition!
