Vitra Campus In 1981, a major fire destroyed part of Vitra‚s furniture production. All over? Not at all. Over a period of four decades, the biggest names on the architectural scene met in Weil am Rhein, a stone‚s throw from the Swiss border. Local’s Tip The five-kilometre-long Rehberger-Weg connects the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (•65) with the Vitra Campus. On foot or by bike, you will pass 24 works of art that literally lead the way. 18 Vitra Campus
47 Vitra Design Museum From the outside, you wouldn’t believe that the white museum building (1989) boasts 700 m2 of exhibition space. No matter how playful the ramps and bay windows may look, everything is functional in Frank O. Gehry’s first building in Europe. > Charles-Eames-Strasse 2, Weil am Rhein (D) 48 VitraHaus Twelve stylized buildings have been nested by Herzog & de Meuron in such a way that the most diverse views open up from the inside of the Vitra flagship store (2010). At night, their front sides light up like display cases. > Charles-Eames-Strasse 2, Weil am Rhein (D) 49 Fire station Even as Zaha Hadid’s bold designs were still considered infeasible, the people of Weil am Rhein were already looking forward to the fire station (1993). “Building No. 1” in the list of works by the British- Iraqi architect now serves as an event space. > Charles-Eames-Strasse 2, Weil am Rhein (D) 50 Conference Pavilion Another premiere: this conference building (1993) was Tadao Ando’s first project outside of Japan. Access to the rooms, some of which are located below ground level, was inspired by the meditation paths of Japanese monastery gardens. > Charles-Eames-Strasse 2, Weil am Rhein (D) 51 Production hall The unadorned brick building (1994) designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira is reminiscent of the anonymous factories of the early industrial era. It features a rather extravagant curved connecting piece to the neighbouring hall, which lowers when it rains and otherwise provides a clear view of the fire station (•49). > Charles-Eames-Strasse 2, Weil am Rhein (D) 52 Production hall It’s no coincidence that the production hall (2012) designed by SANAA has a rather oval layout: this facilitates logistical processes. The work was completed with the subsequently attached curtain wall. > Charles-Eames-Strasse 2, Weil am Rhein (D) 19
