Extension of Kunsthaus Zürich (under construction)

David Chipperfield Architects 


The Kunsthaus Zürich, built in 1910 by Karl Moser (1860-1936), is situated on Heimplatz, in the city center. The existing museum is to be expanded with a building designed by David Chipperfield Architects Berlin. The new extension will go up on the opposite side of the square, connected to the Kunsthaus by an underpass. Clearly geometric, and inspired by the traditional stone facades of the city, the volume of the extension defines two new public spaces: an urban square to the south and an arts garden to the north, and will form, together with the historic building and the neighboring Schauspielhaus, ‘a gateway to the arts’ leading to the university campus north of the city...
