Peter Riepl speaks of "wobbly effect" as a strategy to leave the classical purism behind. The existing, free-standing building for the Open Cultural Center Linz emerges almost unseathed; the activation of the previously "blind" back court and the color scheme enhance the corporality of the old building, yet, in certain moods of light, the graphite wash (by Bitter/ Weber) creates a sense of immateriality. Placing a glass pavilion on the roof, however, manifests the old building as solid foundation, which is comparable to the rocks, on which the Parthenon is built. For the castle Bergschlössl in Linz, a puristic, glazed structure is inserted as a low-volume background and filter between the baroque edifice and the park. A glass wing is added as a quiet background and filter between the baroque building and the park. The new building becomes, seen from different angles, a vehement kaleidoscope mirroring villa and sky (on the south side), transparency to the park (in the middle) and semi-transparency through lighting (north side). At the music school in Pregarten, the main undifferentiated body of the hall appears on the exterior, to be built as an echo of the nearby granite rocks, proves to be, however, an exact expression of the acoustics and sight lines of the interior. So can the act of building bring a presence to place that befits a contemporary world where, as Lucius Burckhardt says: "Nothing is what it appears to be; only appearances are not deceptive". [...] |
