5. Weil Am Rhein: Vitra Design Museum Het Vitra Design Museum werd in 1989 opgericht en is een internationaal gerenommeerd cultureel instituut voor het onderzoek naar, en de popularisering van design en architectuur. Deze door de firma Vitra gesponsorde, maar onafhankelijke stichting houdt tal van tentoonstellingen, organiseert workshops en geeft publicaties over het thema design en architectuur uit. De tentoonstellingen zijn in internationale instituten en musea over de hele wereld te zien. Het Vitra Design Museum ontwerpt en produceert voor elke tentoonstelling een eigen catalogus. Auteurs en fotografen van naam en faam verschaffen achtergrondinformatie over thema’s en tentoonstellingsobjecten. Deze uitgebreide documentatie maakt de meeste uitgaven tot standaardwerken op hun gebied. Het Centre International de Recherche et d’Education Culturelle et Agricole (C.I.R.E.C.A.) organiseert ‘s zomers in samenwerking met het Vitra Design Museum en het Centre Georges Pompidou interdisciplinaire workshops. De deelnemers werken en leven een week met internationaal bekende architecten, ontwerpers en kunstenaars op het Domaine de Boisbuchet, een idyllisch landgoed in het zuidwesten van Frankrijk. Ze geven inzicht in het ontwerpproces en de daarmee samenhangende eisen die aan het rationele denken, de fantasie en de handvaardigheid worden gesteld. Het Vitra Design Museum ontwikkelt miniaturen van bekende klassieke meubelen op een schaal van 1:6 die erg gewild zijn bij liefhebbers van design en bij uitstek geschikt zijn als educatieve objecten.
The Vitra Design Museum Following a major fire in 1981, the company Vitra has pursued a conscious approach to its own architecture, starting with the commission awarded to the English architect Nicholas Grimshaw to build a new factory hall. His high-tech architecture was seen as upholding the vision of Vitra as an enterprise synonymous with technical excellence. After completion of the first structure, he was assigned the task of developing a master plan for the Vitra grounds. This idea of "corporate identity architecture" was called into question, however, by the 1984 erection of the sculpture "Balancing Tools" by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. It served as the trigger for an entirely new architectural concept: deliberately contrasting works of architecture were to confront one another and imbue the site with vitality and a distinctive identity. In keeping with this idea, Vitra commissioned a different architect for each building project. Such as Frank O. Gehry, for example, who designed the expressive main building of the Vitra Design Museum with its towers, ramps and cubes that was dedicated on 3 November 1989. Even though there is certainly no lack of significant contemporary buildings in the Basel region: for some years now, the biggest draw and place with the most far-reaching international presence has been the premises of the Vitra company's factory in Weil am Rhein. This is not solely due to the illustrious architects like Frank O. Gehry, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Nicholas Grimshaw and Alvaro Siza who have all realised significant designs here at the invitation of company head Rolf Fehlbaum. It is primarily because of the unique density and quality of the buildings assembled here in such a compact space. No wonder, then, that the company grounds have emerged as a Mecca for architecture lovers from all over the world in the past one and a half decades. To accommodate the extensive public interest in the buildings on the Vitra site, the Vitra Design Museum offers regular guided architectural tours in numerous languages. The starting point for the tour is Gehry's sculptural-expressionistic museum building, completed in 1989 - the first of the California architect's buildings to be realised in Europe. The Conference Pavilion by Japan's Tadao Ando was also a European premiere. The introverted structure is visually impressive with its formal restraint and reduction to a few materials. Along with the museum and Conference Pavilion, the Fire Station by Londonbased Zaha Hadid is one of the highlights of the tour. Long an icon of deconstructivist architecture, this was the first work ever to be realised by the master architect who is today entrusted with prestigious major commissions throughout the world.
