The exhibition shows architectural models by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor inside a building that he himself planned: the Werkraumhaus in Andelsbuch. The forty models from the Atelier Peter Zumthor are displayed both individually and in clusters over 700 square meters of indoor and outdoor space. Among them are some very recent ones and models that have never before been shown in public.
The exhibition is curated by the Finnish architect and exhibition designer Hannele Grönlund in collaboration with Peter Zumthor.
Die Modelle aus dem Atelier Peter Zumthor haben einen ganz besonderen Ruf: Sie stehen für materialgerechtes, konstruktives Denken und grModels from the Atelier Peter Zumthor enjoy a very special reputation in the world of designers and architects. They stand for a constructive way of thinking that takes its cues from the materials, for a strong visual appeal, and for a stance in which materials, construction, and form come together in a unified whole. The Zumthor models tell of this quest for unity. They show him searching for the logic of joining and combining so as to endow his architectural spaces with an atmosphere in which the building method and materials are key factors.
Also involved in the project are Renate Breuß, who as curator of the program of events is responsible for facilitating cross-border, cross-disciplinary knowledge sharing, the team of the Werkraum Bregenzerwald, and its partners: the Vorarlberger Architekturinstitut, the Juppenwerkstatt Riefensberg, and the Baroque Master-Builders Museum Au. To provide a bridge to the main exhibition and broaden its contextual basis, one extra model from the Atelier Peter Zumthor was set up as a kind of satellite in each of these institutions.
