Extension to Bündner Kunstmuseum in Chur
- Burkhard Franke
Opened in 2016, the recent extension to Bündner Kunstmuseum in the old town of Chur is clad with a regular grid of square, coffered concrete elements. The new building is the immediate vicinity of the classicist Villa Planta, the museum’s headquarters. In their design, which won an international competition, the architects organised the floors for the collections and temporary exhibitions below ground level in a minimised cube, which they placed with great precision at one side of the villa.
