Peter Zumthor designed the Bregenz Museum in 1997. It shines like a lamp on the edge of Lake Constance, and has as a concrete mass that carves through interior space. The light from the lake and weather conditions combine with the colored lighting of the space to establish a particular sensibility.
It is prominent in the city, by the lake front, by the train station, and by important buildings like the library. Simple concrete slabs have glass shingle work outside and inside to establish ceilings and circulation. Artificial light dims according to daylight conditions. Temperatures are controlled by piping through the thermal mass concrete and air flows out through the space above the ceiling glass. |
