Burda Collection Museum
Baden-Baden, Germany
The museum for the
Frieder Burda collection of twentieth-century classical, modern and
contemporary art has been designed to blend into the landscape of the LichtentalerAlleePark
and, at the same time, to harmonize with the classical profile of the adjacent
Kunsthalle. The overall form and proportions of the building correspond to the
elevated plinth and entablature of the Kunsthalle, but each institution
maintains its own tectonic identity.
Nestled amid the
majestic trees of the park, the three-story museum is accessed from a main
portico facing east. At the second floor a glazed bridge links the building to
the plinth of the Kunsthalle. This bridge has been delicately detailed so as to
intrude as little as possible on the character of the existing museum.
Upon entry,
visitors turn right through the lobby/reception area to arrive at a transverse
four-story ramp-hall set on axis with the bridge link to the Kunsthalle one
floor above. Together with an adjacent elevator, this primary means of vertical
circulation affords access to a second major gallery suspended above the
ground-floor gallery and also to auxiliary exhibition volumes on both the lower
ground floor and on mezzanine levels overlooking the entry.
The main upper
exhibition volume extends across the full width of the building, thus giving
the impression that the gallery is floating. It is accessed by the ramp hall
via a bridge that allows for views back to the surrounding park or to the lower
level. The recessed floor plate of the upper gallery and the bounding walls of
the lower gallery enable natural light to penetrate to the lower level.
