Exhibition
An Exhibition by Schaulager Basel and Herzog & de Meuron
Schaulager Basel, MĂĽnchenstein/Basel, Switzerland
35 tables with “Waste and Sweet Dreams” form a marketplace; five booths along one side of it contain in-depth displays. The open area behind the booths focuses on the ways individuals experience architecture: how people use buildings and move about within them. An index provides a key to the exhibition layout.
Models play a major part in the architects’ design process as they develop forms, research spatial configurations, and experiment with materials.
Models and materials of all kinds are laid out on lengths of paper, which are printed with information relating to the various projects.
Two large-scale urban projects in China, which arose from the architects’ collaboration with Ai Weiwei, are presented in a booth of their own. The shapes of the booth’s entrances are derived from doors and windows developed for those projects and from forms seen in Chinese gardens.
The exhibition includes “Sweet Dreams,” a new group of objects and landscapes made from poured sugar. Some are casts of archaic, prehistoric tools.
Five project booths highlight specific procedures and methods used by Herzog & de Meuron and are dedicated to sketches, documentary materials (Sourcebook), teaching, and collaborations with artists—in this case Rémy Zaugg. Between the booths, the displays focus on life and movement.
The exhibition takes full advantage of the space at Schaulager. The building’s dynamic interplay of intimacy and expansiveness, of niches and open areas is echoed not only in many of the projects but also in the way that the exhibits are presented.
