EXPO 2027, East Switzerland

“La Suisse Orientale” – with the competition entry for the national exhibition EXPO 2027, OOS presents a new view of Eastern Switzerland. The three main locations of Sittertobel, Lake Constance and Schwägalp will be staged in terms of content and geography.

At the centre of the concept are the three main locations, whose geographical, social, economic and cultural characteristics define the three core themes: “permanence”, “changeability” and “permeability”. The main locations will be linked in terms of content and transport by a network of thematic routes, so-called “passages”. Existing infrastructures will be expanded and temporary ones can be used beyond the EXPO. This takes the aspect of sustainability into account.

Sound Tower Expo.02 Arteplage, Biel
Culture, 2002
The sounding landmark of the Expo.02: the shell of one of the three towers on the Arteplage Biel designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au becomes the carrier of an interactive musical instrument.
A unique loudspeaker constellation creates a virtual, “kaleidophonic” acoustic. Vertical vortex movements are the basis for the projection of various sound experience spaces, which are perceived as a constantly breathing sound stream. The sound stream is based on a weekly composition.
This reacts on seven different listening levels to the events in the surroundings and is changed and designed live by musicians. In the dynamic sound stream, the musicians perform live with their own instruments. The capsule serves the musicians and sound architects as a “concert ditch” at a height of three metres. It can be opened and closed like a cocoon. The ceiling becomes a stage when opened.
The artistic concept of sound architect Andres Bosshard was planned and realised in collaboration with OOS, sound specialists and musicians

Fashion History Museum, Tokyo JPN
Culture, 2010
In this concept competition, OOS has shown its own interpretation of fashion as a communication vehicle. The visitor is an observer and becomes the object of observations, too.
The Tokyo Fashion History Museum is a kinetic building consisting of 21 movable exhibition boxes. During the “museum trip” the museum visitor can walk through the differently staged exhibition boxes, enjoy the view of the city and observe the passing scenes of visitors and exhibits.
The concept eludes a strictly chronological exhibition dramaturgy, because the sequence of rooms changes at any time by changing to another exhibition box. The performative character of the building intensifies the experience of the museum visitor and attracts the attention of the public. The museum is both stage and tribune, the museum guest actor and spectator.
