Larger, More Flexible, More Attractive
Fans of art and architecture are eagerly looking forward to the new extension of the Kunsthaus Zürich. Designed by British architect David Chipperfield, the clear geometric volume flooded with light is scheduled to open in 2021. The extensive central hall offers new spaces for the public. A multi-functional banquet hall can also be used for concerts. In addition, the so-called “Art Garden” creates an organic connection to the surrounding neighborhood.
