Summary:
The former missile station in the Hombroich cultural area is the site for another outstanding architectural project that blends harmoniously with its environment. Tadao Ando sees this as an experience that uses a combination of simple building materials, glass and concrete, to create a dialogue between building and nature. Viktor and Marianne Langen’s life work forms the basis for this new art house, which Japanese architect Tadao Ando was contracted to design. It will be completed in the spring of 2004. The first exhibition will be dedicated to a selection of the Langen collection of modern and Japanese art. The Langen Foundation aims in future to stimulate unusual meetings between art and its surrounding architecture. Tadao Ando’s architecture, a built space as an independent sculpture, and the presentation of the art inside it create the possibility of interactive experiences.
