Architecture and Art in Dialog

The Sammlung Goetz - in conversation with the architect Meier-Scupin

Who is behind the implementation of the Sammlung Goetz design by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron? Back in October 2019, our tour took an in-depth look at the Swiss architectural duo whose institutional career began in Munich. The Basel-based architectural firm built the Sammlung Goetz as their first museum project in 1992/1993. Munich-based architect Josef Peter Meier-Scupin was responsible for the planning and realization. Together with the consulting artist and friend of art collector Ingvild Goetz, Helmut Federle, Meier-Scupin implemented Herzog & de Meuron's well thought-out art building, captivating with its clear lines, in keeping with the conditions of the neighboring residential area in Munich-Oberföhring. Here, the architecture is itself a work of art, but its simplicity makes it recede into the background, thus providing an ideal stage for temporary exhibitions.
On July 20, we will be in conversation with the architect Josef Peter Meier-Scupin on site and would like to discuss with you the special interaction between architecture and art.

SAVE THE DATE

We would like to announce a very special highlight to all art lovers right now:
In September, we will visit Germany's first street art museum as part of the ARCHITECTURE AND ART IN DIALOG series: MUCA (Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art) has taken over the former health care building at Dachauer Straße 90 in Munich to develop it into a center for art and culture. The six-story building, with approximately 10,000 square meters of space on six floors, once served as the headquarters of the health department before the city of Munich put the property up for interim use.
