The Kunsthaus Bregenz, Peter Zumthor's work and the winner of Mies Van der Rohe, reveals both the shape and space and in the treatment of light and matter, where detail and accuracy achieved extremely important in defining the work and the conceptual idea.







This gallery hosts temporary exhibitions of modern art and is situated in Bregenz, a small Alpine town of Austria, on the shores of Lake Constance.







The building, six-story (two underground), is constructed essentially of two materials: concrete and glass and is part of a project that also included two other plants in which there are offices and services the museum. Both buildings
dialogue and form a new pedestrian plaza which also belongs to ancient theater.








The main building's exterior is coated on glass plates supported on metal frame, allowing the entry of air and light from the outside can be seen that transparency because the stairs are revealed to visitors approaching from the square.












Despite this apparent coldness outside, the minimalist interior of this building, characterized by the color and texture the walls of polished metal, provides a clean and friendly environment.






"I build from the experience of the world" Peter Zumthor.
