Peter Zumthor

WARM-UP EXPERIMENTADESIGN LISBOA 2009

7 sep 2008

The pinnacle event of the Biennale's launch, Peter Zumthor: Buildings and Projects 1986-2007, is his first major world-wide exhibition.

All the main projects are represented, from the exquisite hand-rendered elevations of the Zumthor Studio to the technical drawings of Therme Vals, and various guises of Kunsthaus Bregenz represented in model form. And of course only his astonishing chapel for Bruder Klaus (see image).

Chapel for Bruder Claus -

Apart from examining Zumthor's remarkable body of work, the exhibition echoes and introduces the theme for the 2009 Biennale – “It's About Time” - in an incisive, multidimensional manner, in sync with the prevailing trends and lines of discussions in culture today. In this way, the Biennale benefits from a high-impact peak of media projection, aimed at stirring audience interest for its main issues and participants.

The lecture by Peter Zumthor (sold out) will no doubt broaden the scope of the debate and the appeal of this prominent architect.
