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.

Raumgewinn. Spatial Gains

Under the title Raumgewinn, we address the relationship of our museums to urban space. Three installations exemplify different ways of interpreting public space in museums and how the concepts have proven themselves over the years.

German Pavilion: Convertible City

The 10th Venice International Architecture Biennale 2006 'Cities. Architecture and Society' addresses the changes in urban life at the beginning of the 21st century. Under the title 'Convertible City', the German contribution examines the transformation and conversion of existing urban situations. Exemplary projects illustrate the exciting densification and transformation of architecture and urban fabric as well as the sustainable use of existing potentials. With a temporary staircase and terrace construction, the Commissars General Armand Grüntuch and Almut Ernst are transforming the German Pavilion into an exhibit itself for the duration of the exhibition.
Staab Architekten are represented with the Albertinum in Dresden. The new building for the depot, which spans freely over the courtyard, covers the new center of the museum and enables improved internal routing and networking into the city.
