From factory buildings by Álvaro Siza, Nicholas Grimshaw and SANAA, to Frank Gehry’s Vitra Design Museum, Herzog & de Meuron’s VitraHaus and Zaha Hadid’s Fire Station, through to pavilions by Jean Prouvé, Tadao Ando and Renzo Piano, Tane joins a long list of high-profile architects whose buildings grace the Vitra Campus. Inaugurated during Art Basel in June, Tane’s pavilion encapsulates his guiding concept of ‘Archaeology of the Future’. “I believe that a place will always have memories deeply embedded in the ground and in history”, Tane explains, “and that this memory does not belong to the past, but is the driving force that creates architecture”.
Primarily designed to store the gardening tools utilised by the crew in the adjacent Oudolf Garten, the 15-square-metre pavilion can also host workshops for up to eight people. It also comes in handy for Vitra employees who tend to the campus bees and for those who are working at the kitchen garden currently being created next to it. In addition, an observation platform offers visitors a 360-degree view of the sprawling campus.
Designed with ‘overground’ materials such as thatch, stone and wood, and featuring an octagonal footprint, Tane Garden House’s elemental form and primitive sensibility speaks of the timeless forces that shape architecture. Placed near Richard Buckminster Fuller’s futuristic Dome and Kazuo Shinohara’s iconic Umbrella House which was designed in 1961 as a modernist take on traditional Japanese architecture, it also opens up an architectural dialogue between past, present and future.
