The Langen Foundation by architect Tadao Ando, Hombroich, Neuss, Germanany, 2025
The exhibition building initiated and endowed by the collector Marianne Langen is situated on a former NATO base amidst a swath of Lower Rhine landscape. The collector Karl-Heinrich Müller developed a visionary project for these grounds in 1994, aiming to coalesce art and nature to form a unique synthesis.
The exhibition venue is assembled from two interconnected building tracts of respectively different architectural nature. Abutting the elongated concrete slab veiled in glass at a forty-five-degree angle is the main building tract, which is comprised of two parallel cubes that are entrenched nearly six metres deep into the ground. Running between the two tracts is a large open stairwell resembling a stairway to heaven, leading from the depths back up into nature.
The Langen Foundation offers three exhibition spaces totalling an area of 1,300 square metres. Situated within the ground-level concrete slab is the so-called Japan Room – an unusually long and narrow gallery conceptualised by architect Tadao Ando as a space of “tranquillity” especially for the Japanese segment of the Langen Collection. The two subterranean exhibition rooms, with a ceiling height of a surprising eight metres, were in turn designed to accommodate the modern part of the collection.
Characteristic for many of the buildings designed by this Pritzker awardee is the visible structure of the installed formwork panel of smoothed concrete, which is oriented to the size of the Tatami mats and, together with the holes of the formwork anchors, yields a distinctive visage. In the Langen Foundation building these structures are consistently visible, even from the inside in places.

Introducing Naoshima New Museum of Art
Hello everyone,
You may have heard that last weekend, a new museum opened on Naoshima. Well, the rumors are true, and I was there!
It is called the Naoshima New Art Museum (yes, I know, but there is a logic behind this name) and it may have instantly become my favorite museum on Naoshima.
Here is a very small preview of what awaits you inside:
And because it was opening day, a lot […]

My dear mother (aged 82), Museum Langen Fondation, Neuss, Germany, 2023.
None of us know how much time we have but, interestingly, time is relative, depending on its observer rather than an immutably fixed constant everywhere in the universe. Our perception of time is especially influenced by our own perspective: Are we living in the moment or looking backward on time? It’s also influenced by our memory of past experiences. As we get older the rate at which we process experiences slows down and thus time seems to “speed up”. The many and often new things young children have to do in a day contribute to their notion that time is more plentiful. Therefore, when looking back, time may feel slower. This can apply to adults, too. When we look back on a time period that was filled with lots of new and exciting things we see a large expense of events and memories. They make it seem like time stretches out. Looking back on fewer moments that have past, the less rich your own representation is, the more it’s going to seem like time went by quickly. Thus, how we process what we experience and see influences how we view time. Not introducing new patterns into your life, can make you feel like time is going by much quicker overall.
The whole concept of “time being of value” only has meaning for living, breathing, thinking and feeling beings. Afterall, a universe with nothing living in it would have nothing of value in it because there would be nothing to appreciate that value itself. Hence, life is the sufficient and necessary condition for anything of value. I think the trick is to make life an adventure - be it in your imagination, in real life or both - not tedious and unimaginative.

Architecture
Nature and artificial, entirety and piece, universality and uniqueness, the past and the present. Architects are tormented by the constant conflict of these dualistic propositions! The deeper and more intense the tension is, the more dynamic the creation becomes. That is why architects must continue thinking.
~ Tadao Ando, from Tadao Ando – The Talks
slip:4uteie30.
Of course, not just architects must continue thinking. I find so much more value within things (for example, a conversation) when I hold up pairs of opposites as Ando suggests. Each pair suggests a dimension for consideration, and it’s easier than just staring into the original thing looking for the interesting parts.

Enjoyed a visit to mpav recently, although, noticed the leaves in the reflection pond. Staff in gumboots walk in to scoop them out. The roof lacks gutters. Apparently Ando never visited the site and thought about the trees?

Paul Tulett shows the beauty of Brutalist architecture — often misguidedly associated with authoritarianism — in his new book “Brutalist Japan.” https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/11/16/books/brutalism-architecture/ #culture #books #architecture #brutalism #kenzotange #pritzkerprize #tadaoando #arataisozaki
Un article passionnant (en Anglais) qui explore les limites de ce qu'est l'architecture : un travail d'artiste ? Un service ? Une profession de cour ? Un clos-couvert ? Une ruine parasitée ?
Une démarche et des réflexions qui résonnent étrangement avec celles d'Adolf #Loos, de Gordon #Matta-Clark et #ClaudeParent.
