Open Cloister
Hombroich, Düsseldorf, 1995
In 1994 Germany’s most significant private museum, the Island Hombroich – Art Parallel to Nature – acquired an ex-NATO rocket launching area.
With the restoration of the existing buildings complete, a number of innovative projects by architects Raimund Abraham, Tadao Ando, Claudio Silvestrin and Alvaro Siza were commissioned.
Claudio Silvestrin’s project for a multi-functional centre, 9300m², echoes his deep admiration for the architecture of the Cistercians. Set at a diagonal to his rectangular venue hall, the cloister-like building includes a courtyard, where twenty-one cells will offer sleeping facilities for visitors participating in artistic, philosophical, religious or scientific seminars.
