Label RIBA Trust Presents Exhibition on Valerio Olgiati

RIBA Trust Presents Exhibition on Valerio Olgiati

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announced an exhibition celebrating Swiss architect Valerio Olgiati, examining seven of his projects from the last few years including his extraordinary competition winning design for the Perm Museum XXI in Russia; the National Park Visitor's Centre at Zernez, Switzerland with its unique spatial mirroring and the striking black exterior and interiors of his own office at Flims - the latter resulting from his belief that dark interiors make for a better appreciation of the exterior world from within, creating more extrovert, public spaces.

The exhibition explores Olgiati's rigorous conceptual design framework through a series of spectacular plaster models at a scale of 1:33, accompanied by photographs and renderings.

These highlight thematic issues in his work such as choice and use of materials, the importance of high-quality craftsmanship, his attitude to structure and the formal clarity of design.

Also included are key images, described as his personal musee imaginaire, providing insights into the influences and decisive stages of his design process.
