emerging between the villages in a farmhouse vernacular

reminiscent of other buildings found in the area

but at an incongruous scale.

Herzog de Meuron envisioned a museum

formed by clusters of pitched structures

which would apply itself to the archetype of barns,

small residential buildings and sheds

which artists had previously converted to make use as their studios

The natural energy that fills the museum as a result of the light

adds a layer of serenity to the environment

the natural light is allowed to provide the ambience for

the building's interior throughout the design

Herzog and de Meuron take advantage of northern light

to create art gallery spaces with uniform diffuse light conditions
