Kunsthaus Bregenz (KUB) in Bregenz, Austria

The Kunsthaus Bregenz is known not only as one of the leading houses for contemporary art but also for its facade, which is made of 712 glass parts. I took the photo from the nearby railway line and was amazed by the similar colours in the windows, sky and trees. [German]

The interior…

The load-bearing walls in the interior are chosen to have space for high and voluminous installations. An exhibition in 2005 gave me an interesting insight into the suspended ceiling. As a visitor, I climbed an area that stretched between the load-bearing ceiling and the covered ceiling panels.

… and the outer skin

During a special tour as part of Art Bodensee 2016, I had the opportunity to walk across a narrow walkway between the load-bearing masonry and the facade. I got under the skin of the Kunsthaus, so to speak. Since the glass parts are not transparent, the view of Bregenz remained limited, though.
