photo: BBK photo: BBK National Museum Vaduz Städtle 46 The project of the National Museum of includes two significant historic buildings and a new extension It detracts itself from the conventional contrasting between "old" and "new" The architectural interventions are likewise straight to the point and subversive, positioning themselves within the range of recognisability and invisibility 2005 BBK Architekten http://wwwmimoaeu/users/obiki86/guides/vaduz/ 3
photo: Rudolf Noronha photo: Rudolf Noronha Centrum Bank Vaduz Kirchstrasse 3 The building is a solitaire with significance which integrates itself in its surrounding and adds to the identity in a topographical sense Importance has been given to the location and elevations, as well as the sight from above onto the building has been decisive for its appearance It is a sculptural object Its form derives from a rectangular body, which by slight transformations becomes a moving, freely formed, non-rectilinear image Thus a homogeneous building is created that is not divided into façade and roof, but shows that wall and roof surfaces are of the same material and have the same structure This object can be understood as a huge stone photo: Rudolf Noronha Project is not public!

National Archives Städtle 48 The new building of the National Archives harmonizes not only with the Diet Building but also with the historic Government Quarter consisting of the Government Building, the Rheinberger House and the Schaedler House This harmony is achieved on the one hand by the volumetric proportions and also by the materialization of the National Archives since the north storage wing continues the eave height and also the beige, burnt brick façade of the Long House while the south administrative wing has the same eave height and plaster of the same color as the Government Building The combination of the two buildings, the storage wing together with the administrative wing, leads to a notched structural shell that can be interpreted both as a single building or as two Access is first via an external staircase to the level of the Rheinberger House and then, one floor above the level of Peter Kaiser Square, to the central entrance 2009 Kaundbe Architekten http://wwwmimoaeu/users/obiki86/guides/vaduz/ 10
