Architecture, People and Resources | Baumschlager & Eberle 2002-2007
(11/10/2007 - 13/01/2008) - Munich
Pinakothek der Moderne
Since its establishment as a partnership in 1985, the architectural practice of Baumschlager & Eberle in Lochau / Vorarlberg has completed well over 300 construction projects and building studies, earning itself an international reputation. Recent representative works include large-scale projects such as the Vienna airport extension, the MOMA high-rises in Beijing, the WHO / UNAIDS building in Geneva and the 1,000-bed hospital in Kortrijk (Belgium). Key to the Baumschlager & Eberle philosophy is that architecture is a complex entity requiring the integration of many different elements, to which justice can only be done if a building meets all the demands made on it in terms of structural intelligence, ecology, economic efficiency and social acceptability. This philosophy is reflected in the division of the »Architecture, People and Resources« exhibition into three distinct parts.

Le Corbusier

Vitra Design Museum
The work of Le Corbusier remains highly significant and relevant in today's architectural discourse. Yet during the past two decades, no major museum show has addressed the many aspects that still make Le Corbusier's work such an important point of reference for contemporary architecture and urbanism. To fill this void, the Vitra Design Museum is now joining forces with the Netherlands Architecture Institute and the Royal Institute of British Architects in the production of an international retrospective.

Zij is een van de boegbeelden van de duurzame ontwikkeling. De Franse architecte probeert al jarenlang om met haar persoonlijke werk "het rampzalige fenomeen dat vroeg of laat onze levenskwaliteit en onze omgeving zal vernietigen tot staan te brengen". Met een niet-aflatende energie probeert zij haar filosofie in al haar werk tot uiting te brengen en zakelijke partners en klanten voor haar aanpak enthousiast te maken. Haar doel is om hen aan te moedigen op een andere manier te leven en andere woonomstandigheden te creëren zodat we het milieu niet nog meer schade toebrengen.
