| The
program of the museum also asked for administration, shop and cafe space,
Zumthor exploited these demands by creating an interesting urban situation
around the Kunsthaus. The glass box was reserved for galleries and a smaller
building made out of black concrete was designed to house these other uses,
creating between the two volumes an empty area that is not quite a square
or piazza but more like a left over space with the potential for public
occupation. Sometimes the exhibition spills out of the building into this
space, and when the weather is fine the cafe also takes possession of it.
