ARCHITECTURAL CREATION PETER MARKLI AND JUN AOKI
3 June 3 August 2008
This is an exhibition which introduces two architects, Peter Märkli and
Jun Aoki. There is no relation between them, but both of them
respect paintings and sculptures. Though they prefer a lovable
atomosphere, both their architectures are cool and sensual.
Their processes of visualizing ideas are focused on. Therefore, in the
gallery, there will be no models or plans of complete buildings. Märkli
shows his 300 drawings and 14 charming study models, the latter of
which were made for 'Novartis Campus Visitor Center' in Basel. Aoki
shows his 100 study models for the house 'M'.
They convey the architects' thought so vividly that visitors should be
able to find out what happens in the process of architectural creation.
