Bruce Nauman, Kunsthalle Basel, 1986

Observation: entry facade & forecourt . Schaulager Laurenz Foundation, Basel, Switzerland, Project 1998-1999, realization 2000-2003; Herzog & de Meuron . The façade of the polygon facing Emil-Frey-Strasse is indented to create a kind of forecourt, which identifies the entrance area visibly from a distance. This entrance seems to be guarded by a little building with a gable roof, constructed from the same earthy material as the warehouse. Together the little gatehouse and the indentation form a courtyard-like space with a metropolitan ambiance. .

Reflection: corner detail . Schaulager Laurenz Foundation, Basel, Switzerland, Project 1998-1999, realization 2000-2003; Herzog & de Meuron . The external shape of the warehouse is pragmatically derived from the geometry of the internal storage arrangements and the setback requirements of the building code. This led to a polygonal building made out of materials extracted on site and looking as if it had been extruded from the ground. .
