Two upcoming exhibitions at the museum:
Stuhl Haus Stadt - "Haefeli Moser Steiger", 30 March to 1 July
The Haefeli Moser Steiger partnership was one of the most important Swiss architectural practices of the 20th century. In Zurich itself, many milestones in the career of Haefeli Moser Steiger can be seen: the Werkbundsiedlung Neubühl and the Kantonsspital where they played a very important role, the Hochhaus zur Palme or the Kongresshaus, which is currently a subject of discussion.
"This Side Up" - Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design, until 22 April
Konstantin Grcic from Munich is a well-known designer with an international reputation. Along with his studio KGID, set up in 1991, he has made a name for himself through experiments with materials and a "constructive individuality". The exhibition shows works from the past decade, with fifty products on display. Visitors can follow the way the products were developed through drawings, models, prototypes and video films.
