Museum "de Fundatie"

Museum "de Fundatie" in Zwolle has a spectacular extension added to the building after renovations. It lookes like a spaceship has landed on top.

On the outside the superstructure is clad with 55.000 white-blue tiles. The large oval window offers a view of the historic inner city.

Inside the"cloud" you have two levels, at the top you have a look at the city through the oval window which I showed you in last Sundays post.

As there are only round walls the photo exhibition of  "Pieter Henket" had to be placed in special concrete blocks with a glass pad.

A glass elevator takes you to the top.

But you can also go by stairs and then you meet this inviting guy.

  1. Het schijnt in de mode te zijn om oude, klassieke gebouwen van wanstaltige uitstulpingen te voorzien. Zie het Stedelijk. Las er laatst een artikeltje over in de NRC, het schijnt te komen door de gebrekkige opleiding van Nederlandse architecten die geen traditionele ontwerpen meer kunnen maken. Is dit van een Ned. architect?

    1. Ja, de architekt is Hubert-Jan Henket, inderdaad de vader van de exposerende fotograaf.

  2. It looks like a modern interior but I think the outside looks a bit of a missmatch

  3. Looks like something similar to what was planned for one of our museums here in Washington, D.C. until it was finally decided to be too expensive.

  5. Looks like the top popped off the building and it is foaming over. Very interesting design.

  6. I remember this from last week Marianne..so this was added afterwards oui? It really is a very unusual feature, must be fab to look at the views of the city out of the window. I'm beginning to like more modern things much more these days.

  8. Dat ziet er apart uit, ik denk dat de mensen wel moesten wennen.

  9. Dearest Marianne,
    Some innovative architecture has been put into reality here. Very interesting and light. Love that guy with open arms and he is firmly grounded with his big feet!
    Hugs,
