The opening of celebrated British architect David Chipperfield's
extension building of Kunsthaus Zürich in the fall of 2021 will make
this renowned institution Switzerland's largest art museum. In the
run-up to this milestone in the museum's development, this new book
looks back at its architectural history. It tells a lively story that
starts in 1847 with the Zurich Artists' Society's initial gallery
building and had its first culmination in 1910, when distinguished Swiss
architect Karl Moser's Kunsthaus was opened. Over the past century,
three major additions were carried out in 1925, 1959, and 1976, and many
attempts for a visionary large-scale extension were made. Illustrated
with historic images, reproductions of plans and drawings as well as
newly drawn floor and site plans, the book documents all stages of
constructing Kunsthaus Zürich.
Benedikt Loderer is a distinguished architecture critic and writer. He is co-founder of and has been an editor with Swiss architecture magazine Hochparterre 1988-2010.
