"above and beyond the fundamental responsibility to make light - consequently seeing - a central theme, we have tended to concern ourselves intensively with materials, to analyse them, to put them in relation to one another, to compare them, to uncover something like a grammar of applied substances. In the Kirchner Museum, we used glass: in its etched form to diffuse light, in its transparent form, wherever a view towards the landscape was to allowed; as single-pane etched glass to expose the building�s thermal wrapping of insulation; and as a roofing material. The implementation of one and the same material in differently rendered forms is essential to this project...There are particular associations which can be brought to bear, such as the exhibition architecture of the last century, Paxton�s Crystal Palace, or Taut�s vision of glazed mountain peaks." - Daidalos 56

"La Congiunta (The Conjoined) aims to achieve specific conditions, spaces with a clear direction that are unequivocally more than exhibition spaces, in which the architecture together with the works of art create a greater whole, granting the union of the two something beyond the exhibition of �pieces�. As La Congiunta is removed from the usual constraints of museums, it does not seek and form of bustle and therefore also no activity: no conveniences, no parking spaces, no entrance charge, no guards, minimal servicing. If one wants to buy a postcard, then there is a shop nearby. La Congiunta does not want to be a centre integrating everything that is possible and impossible, it just want to be there" - 9H N �9
