Stitching Wood: Lissoni’s Latest Creation
Part of Listone Giordano’s Natural Genius collection, Nui is a series inspired by an ancient Japanese technique.
The exhibition’s subtitle – From regional to international – clearly reflects the evolution of their work, which they developed initially with great technical expertise in the residential field and the limited sphere of their Austrian region, before moving on to conquer the international field with projects for public functions and on a larger scale. What most interests Baumschlager-Eberle is an understanding of the principles that define the location of every project, and being able to combine the cultural identity of cities and landscapes with the technology today provides comfort and technological quality.
The works on display are the Sirch industrial complex in Böhen, Germany (1998), the winning project in the competition to enlarge the VIE Skylink airport in Vienna (2000), the Wohnen am Lohbach residential complex in Innsbruck (2000), the project for Kortrijk hospital in Belgium (2000), the Münchener Rückversicherung insurance company offices in Munich (2001), their Räffel Park office building project in Zurich (2002) and that for the Mega Hall residential complex in Beijing, China (2002). The photographic records of their projects were made by the photographer Eduard Hueber.
The inauguration was held on Thursday 16 in the Lichtforum Zumtobel Staff in Milan; Cino Zucchi and Carlo Baumschlager spoke after an introduction by the guest Karl Oberhollenzer, managing director of Zumtobel Staff Illuminazione.
