The Museum Reinhard Ernst, scheduled to open in spring 2023 in the city centre of Wiesbaden, is an 8,910 square metre facility exhibiting Reinhard Ernst?s private collection of abstract art. Funded entirely by the Reinhard & Sonja Ernst Foundation, the project is the culmination of a planning process beginning in 2010, and of the long friendship between Reinhard Ernst and Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki. The exhibition Making the Museum Reinhard Ernst documents the intense design and construction process via sketches, drawings, models, photos and artefacts organised under four general themes: Context, Form, Detail and Construction. Accordingly, the space at Aedes is divided into four quadrants that use a variety of materials to provide insights into this complex building project.00Reinhard Ernst was able to engage one of the most important international architects for the design of the museum: Fumihiko Maki. Ernst has been friends with him not just for many years, but for decades. The Japanese architect, born in 1928, was part of the Metabolist movement in the 1960?s and has already received many awards for his work, including the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Fumihiko Maki has built numerous museums and cultural buildings.00For the Museum Reinhard Ernst, Maki and Associates created a three-storey building that fits into the historic surroundings of Wiesbaden's city centre, yet is unique and modern. The ground floor with the entrance area is dominated by a fully glazed courtyard open to the top, which provides a lot of daylight and extends over the entire height of the building. In order to meet the requirements of the permanent and temporary exhibitions, the programme and the technical building services, Maki and Associates has divided the building into further quadrants that surround this inner courtyard. 00Exhibition: Aedes am Pfefferberg, Berlin, Germany (14.05. - 29.06.2022).
