With its extensive overar\u00adching glass roof the building marks the south entrance to the town center in the direction of Holler\u00adplatz. The solitary structure stands archi\u00adtec\u00adto\u00adni\u00adcally in the tension field between Hans Scharoun\u2019s theater structure and Alvar Aalto\u2019s cultural center both key archi\u00adtec\u00adtures in Wolfsburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The center of the museum is the 16-meter high exhibi\u00adtion hall with a quadratic ground plan measuring 40 meters on each side. The impact of the exhibi\u00adtions benefits from the flexible possi\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties available in the large space that allow for an indivi\u00addua\u00adlized archi\u00adtec\u00adture to meet the specific needs of each show. The generous ground plan is parti\u00adcu\u00adlarly suitable for large-scale objects, environ\u00adments, instal\u00adla\u00adtions and media art. The hall is two-storied on three of its sides and enclosed by further exhibi\u00adtion spaces. The entire exhibi\u00adtion surface encom\u00adpasses 3500 square meters. The two-storied studio that can be accessed separ\u00adately from the upper floor serves as a flexible workshop and presen\u00adta\u00adtion area where the educa\u00adtional program and other events accom\u00adpanying the exhibi\u00adtions can be&nbsp;held.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kunstmuseum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MG_7581marekk-1024x683.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-4094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kunstmuseum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MG_7581marekk-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kunstmuseum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MG_7581marekk-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kunstmuseum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MG_7581marekk-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kunstmuseum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MG_7581marekk-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kunstmuseum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MG_7581marekk-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kunstmuseum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MG_7581marekk-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.kunstmuseum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MG_7581marekk-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>The exhibi\u00adtion hall is 16 meters high and offers space for flexible archi\u00adtec\u00adture.<br>Photo: Marek Kruszewski<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Japan Garden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>The Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum Wolfsburg is probably the only museum in Europe with a Japan Garden. Origi\u00adnally conceived by the museum\u2019s architect Peter Schweger, the 16 x 32 meter large sculpture court was opened in September 2007 as a place of tranqui\u00adlity and contem\u00adpla\u00adtion. The concep\u00adtion of a Zen garden is closely tied to the \u201cJapan and the West: The Filled Void\u201d exhibi\u00adtion that was shown the same year. Inspired by the museum\u2019s trans\u00adpa\u00adrent technoid appearance that was conceived as an urban villa, the Japan Garden repres\u00adents a peaceful oasis in the middle of the indus\u00adtrial city of Wolfsburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Kazuhisa Kawamura from the Fachhoch\u00adschule Mainz was the partner architect involved in the planning of the Japan Garden. Kawamura has been active in Germany since 1973. Aside from his profes\u00adsor\u00adship for repre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtional geometry, the founda\u00adtions of design and archi\u00adtec\u00adtural theory he works as a freelance architect in Cologne. Roofed and furnished with benches, the Japan Garden offers the visitor the chance to unwind and slow down. Looking out across the pebbled area one\u2019s glance meets a wall that lends the garden a sculp\u00adtural quality on account of its compo\u00adsi\u00adtion and color as well as through its inter\u00adac\u00adtion with two other smaller wall slabs. According to the Japanese way of thinking, it is not contra\u00addic\u00adtory to enclose nature in the form of a garden with hedges, walls and buildings but rather a sign of the Japanese sense of beauty. The delibe\u00adrate combi\u00adna\u00adtion of planned ratio\u00adna\u00adlity and random natural\u00adness is charac\u00adte\u00adristic of a Japanese garden. Only when it is bordered like a painting in a frame is the garden recognized as such and appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elements of Zen gardens are integrated into the large pebbled area that symbo\u00adlizes water. The stones and plants were chosen in accordance with their climatic suita\u00adbi\u00adlity; Japanese bamboos were thus planted alongside local juniper bushes and a maple tree that will develop into a bonsai through continual profes\u00adsional trimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, the garden and the museum are not to be seen as separate archi\u00adtec\u00adtonic works but rather as parts of a single overall concept. Both environ\u00adments seemingly flow naturally into each other, creating a symbiosis. The Japan Garden in the Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum Wolfsburg is acces\u00adsible to museum visitors during the museum\u2019s usual opening hours (through the east cabinet to the rear of the large exhibi\u00adtion&nbsp;hall).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The realiz\u00ada\u00adtion of the garden was generously supported by Pon Holdings B.V., Nijkerk, The Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the Japangarten is unfor\u00adtu\u00adn\u00ada\u00adtely still closed.
