Vitra Design Museum
Iwan Baan is one of today’s leading photographers of architecture and the built environment. His images document the growth of global megacities, explore traditional and informal housing structures, and portray buildings by prominent contemporary architects including Rem Koolhaas, Herzog & de Meuron, Kazuyo Sejima, and Tatiana Bilbao. From October 2023 to March 2024, the Vitra Design Museum presents the first major retrospective of Baan’s oeuvre. The exhibition »Iwan Baan: Moments in Architecture« reflects the photographer’s wide scope by drawing up a panorama of global architecture in the early twenty-first century, of its urban and social contexts, and of the people who use it.

Tane Garden House
Tane Garden House

Vitra Design Museum Gallery
The Garden House designed by Japanese architect Tsuyoshi Tane is the latest addition to the Vitra Campus. The building is a strong sustainability statement, since its design mostly relies on natural materials like thatch, stone, and wood. The rooftop is open to the public and accessible through the Oudolf Garten. From 18 November, a special exhibition on the Tane Garden House will be shown at the Vitra Design Museum Gallery. The exhibition documents how Tane developed the building in a characteristically intense process that involved his creative engagement with the history and typology of garden houses.
