Discussion between Prof. Markus Allmann, Dipl.-Ing. Architect, Allmann Sattler Wappner Architekten, Munich; and Dr. Katrin Eberhard, Architect, Specialized Co-Worker, Historic Preservation St. Gallen; Moderation: Dr. Tilo Richter, Art Historian, Basel Kunstmuseum Basel | Lecture Hall | Picassoplatz Entrance
Markus Allmann reflects about the competition, design and reception of the "Haus der Gegenwart" (Contemporary House) built in Munich in 2005. Katrin Eberhard portrays the 1929 Lovell Health House in Los Angeles designed by Richard J. Neutra. Both discuss differences and connections between these buildings: the programmatic dealing with wishes of the building client and the effect of the impulse of their architectonic concepts.
