Kirchner Museum Davos | Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer Architects | 1991-92 | Davos . In Davos we experienced an individual tour through the world-famous Kirchner Museum. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) is one of the most important representatives of German Expressionism. Davos and his surroundings inspired Kirchner to create a large number of his important works. The museum offers the experience of seeing Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's art at its place of origin as well as the museum’s world-famous architecture. It was the first large commission to be realised by the architects Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer. It is now seen as a pioneering example of a new understanding of museum architecture, combining functionality and aesthetics, intrinsic architectural value and service to art in a remarkable way. .

Observation: gallery view to circulation space . Kirchner museum, Davos, Switzerland, 1989-1992; Gigon/Guyer . The galleries are restrained, oak parquet flooring, white gypsum board walls and milky-white glass ceiling panels, a design intention which allows the architecture to recede into an abstraction and the art to be the center of attention. .

&: main hall and circulation space . Kirchner museum, Davos, Switzerland, 1989-1992; Gigon/Guyer . The space between the four exhibition volumes is formed from concrete, a main hall and circulation space that punctually opens up framing views to the exterior landscape. The lowness of the ceiling and gray of the concrete is opposite in feeling to the lightness and height of the gallery volumes. .

Observation: entry 1 . Kirchner museum, Davos, Switzerland, 1989-1992; Gigon/Guyer . The museum, created to house the art of the German expressionist painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, is located in the mountain resort town of Davos. The building's exterior form, four double-height volumes connected by a lower height volume, blends into the snow-caped, mountainous landscape, with a varying opaque, translucent and clear glass cladding.  .
