Architecture
In Thomas Demand´s utopian and idealistic sculptures the use of paper is essential. The building sculptural volumes are a reference to this medium. As a consequence, materials and seamless surfaces capturing the character of paper have been chosen by the architects. Each volume has its own entrance, leaving it up to visitors to experience the dialogue between art and architecture as they see fit.
The legal paper, which features a faded yellow-and-black-lined folded ‘paper sheet’ made from translucent fibreglass, offers a vibrant space for meetings.
