Kunsthaus Zurich Building Extension

David Chipperfield Architects’ design for the Kunsthaus Zürich extension, won in competition in December 2008, has been developed in line with the jury’s recommendations regarding its function within the urban context and its internal organisation.

The revised scheme comprises a managed reduction of the building’s volume, a more precise position on Heimplatz, greater openness to the extension’s surroundings on all four sides and an upgrading of the art garden.

The revision addresses all of the recommendations made by the jury. The partners and future clients of the Kunsthaus extension – the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, the city of Zurich and the Stiftung Zürcher Kunsthaus – have now been presented with a greener and more open scheme. At the end of October the partners will set up a project company. For the city of Zurich, the project is consistent with the overriding political and cultural interests of its urban development department, and is one of the main points on the agenda for the current legislative session.

The revised scheme was presented at a press conference at the Kunsthaus Zürich on 24 September 2009.
