Museion, the name of the new museum building opened in Bolzano in 2008, comes from ancient Greek, and represents a programme for the presentation and mediation of art in all its expressive forms. The resulting architecture is a convincing ensemble of museum, studio building and bridge, forming a fitting public setting for art. This book describes how the initial idea developed into the realisation of this architecturally and technically remarkable building complete with all its details, such as the media facade and the curving double bridge. This is architecture as a balance of apparent opposites with no compromise: urban developmental context and architectonic memorability, closed and transparent facades, and interior flexibility coupled with an unmistakeable appearance. Including some very personal contributions, this book is addressed to all those with an interest in art and architecture.
