Translation of "Heimplatz" in German

In addition, there are 140 places available on the terrace at Heimplatz during the summer months.

The extension, together with the renovated museum building itself, will constitute a New Kunsthaus on Heimplatz.

A series of models, plans, photos and material samples offer a vivid insight into the sensitivity with which David Chipperfield Architects have approached the existing buildings on Heimplatz.

The revision comprises a managed reduction of the building’s volume, a more precise location on Heimplatz, greater openness to the extension’s surroundings on all four sides, and an improved art garden.

This is perfectly in tune with the Kunsthaus Zürich’s plan for the extension by David Chipperfield which opens on Heimplatz in 2017: a dynamic presentation of its own collections with regularly changing constellations and thought-provoking juxtapositions of differing genres and formats.

From 2020 the underground passageway will enable visitors to move between the Chipperfield building and the existing ensemble, regardless of the weather and traffic on Heimplatz above their heads.

The Kunsthaus Zürich has stood on Heimplatz since 1910, in a progressively expanded ensemble of buildings of great architectural quality.

The Hubert Looser Collection also includes a heavyweight, ten-part outdoor sculptural installation by Tony Smith, three sections of which have been removed from the Zürichberg and transported to Heimplatz.

The lounge also offers a view of the site on the other side of Heimplatz on which the new building is to be constructed.

The redesign of Heimplatz in keeping with urban planning ideals and the erection of a visible 'gateway of the arts' is only possible above-ground.

The cost target is CHF 178.8 million.In line with the recommendations made by the city's structural engineering department, the above-ground and below-ground volume of the new building has been reduced in all its dimensions and the area in front of it facing Heimplatz enlarged, so that the new construction will appear smaller in the context of the urban landscape than was originally envisaged.

On the 28 May 2002 the departing President of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, Thomas W. Bechtler, Director Christoph Becker and the Chairman of the City Council, Elmar Ledergerber, presented plans for a further extension of the building at Heimplatz.

Coloured points of light will be projected onto the surrounding buildings and surfaces from an artistically designed mast on Heimplatz.

On 25 November 2012, voters in the City of Zurich approved a loan of CHF88 million as the city’s contribution to the construction of an extension for the Kunsthaus on Heimplatz.

At a media briefing Member of the City Council and Head of the Structural Engineering Department André Odermatt emphasized the significance of the Chipperfield structure to the urban landscape: together with the existing Kunsthaus and the Schauspielhaus it will enhance the role of Heimplatz as a cultural hub and also act as a gateway to the university district.

Switzerland’s oldest combined collection and exhibition space opened its doors in Karl Moser’s late Jugendstil museum building on the Heimplatz in 1910, and now, in honour of the centenary, the Kunsthaus will showcase its opulent collection, including many donations, and mount a major Picasso show in tribute to its tradition of key exhibitions.

A shift of 1.4 m to the north and the abridgement of the structure’s length by the same amount, furthermore, has made it possible to extend the area immediately outside its main entrance on Heimplatz, while the location’s excellent definition has been preserved, along with the spatial tension between the planned building and the existing Kunsthaus.

The museum remains open and in operation while new staircases and lifts are installed; these will lead from the existing entrance hall down into the passage to the Chipperfield building on the other side of Heimplatz.
