A closer look

Architecture in context

Our Weil am Rhein collection includes 3 buildings, all on the Vitra Campus — an open-air museum of Deconstructivist architecture assembled by a single furniture company. Frank Gehry's Vitra Design Museum (1989) and his earlier Factory Building introduced the crumpled, tilted forms that would define his later career.

Zaha Hadid's Fire Station — her first completed building — is a composition of razor-sharp concrete planes that appear to be in motion, as if frozen mid-collapse. The three buildings together make Weil am Rhein a pilgrimage for anyone interested in how architecture broke free from the orthogonal grid in the late 20th century.
