CONTEXT by Staab Architekten

For the 20th anniversary of the Neues Museum Nuremberg, Volker Staab's first work, the museum presented an exhibition by Staab Architekten in the six façade rooms. Through planned and built projects, it became clear how profound the influence of context is on the work of Staab Architekten and how broadly our office interprets the term "context."
During the five-month exhibition, the museum's façade spaces were put in scene in an uanusual way. Transparent image planes changed the effect of the formative visual axes and visual references in the building, transforming the open spatial areas into light-filled berths. This intervention not only made clear the museum's relationship to the square in front of it but also played with the building's basic idea of allowing the cut-open museum spaces to become visible behind the glass façade.

Baumeister für die Kunst

With the stipulation of presenting museum spaces that serve art, five internationally renowned architecture firms are displaying examples of their work. Pictures and models of projects by Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, Kuehn Malvezzi Architects, Chipperfield Architects, Lederer Ragnarsdòttir Oei Architekten und Staab Architekten showcase how diverse creative approaches can be to such a task. An accompanying symposium will further deepen the discussion with contributions by Enrique Sobejano and Volker Staab, among others.
