In this section, we will introduce the you the most famous and architecturally most interesting works of contemporary modern European architecture for culture. During this period, fewer theatre buildings and opera houses were built, rather existing buildings built in previous periods were restored and reconstructed. Nevertheless, a few remarkable works were created. On the other hand, many new gallery and museum buildings were built during this period. Many were created with the aim of becoming a magnet for tourists, and therefore have an unusual architectural design.

Koncertná-sála-na-Kanárskych-ostrovoch

Concert hall at Canary Islands, Spain The concert hall, built at the leisure centre of Santa Cruz on the island of Tenerife, is the work of famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. This architect is characterised by an unusual shaping of his architecture, and this building is no exception. The whole building looks like a sculpture made of white marble, which is dominated by an interesting shape of the roof. The building features 2 concert halls, one larger and the other smaller one for more intimate performances.

Maxxi-museum

Maxxi – art museum of the 21.st century in Rome, Italy The museum is the work of notable, originally Iranian architect Zaha Hadid, who succeeded with her design of the museum building in an international architectural competition, which included up to 273 designs. It is a modern concrete building with a glass roof, where the exhibition spaces meet and intertwine in different lines and height levels.

Maxxi – art museum of the 21.st century in Rome, ItalyZaha Hadid, who won the Stirling Prize of the Royal Institute of British Architects for this work in 2010, did not want her design to create a rigid exhibition space, but one that would offer an unusual way of presenting contemporary art through various spatial installations or video presentations.

Kiasma-Helsinky

Museum of contemporary art KIASMA, Helsinki, FinlandIn 1993, the city of Helsinki announced a competition for the design of a contemporary art building. More than 516 bids from world-famous architects were submitted to the competition. The winning project was the project of the American architect Steven Hall. The design of this architect won mainly because he was inspired by the surrounding landscape in the shape of the building. The museum was completed in 1998 and is located in the very centre of Helsinki. The building structure is made of zinc, steel, glass and glossy black concrete and creates a pleasant revival of the urban character.

Museum of contemporary art KIASMA, Helsinki, FinlandVisitors to the museum also appreciate the optical connection between the gallery and the city centre. A great challenge for architects who design exhibition spaces is to devise a building concept that would enable the exhibition spaces to be illuminated by daylight for as long as possible, while illuminating the exhibits at the right angle. When designing the building, the architect helped himself to meet this goal by the shape of the roof and the skylights used.

Astrup

Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo, NorwayThe new Astrup Fearnley Museum building in Oslo is located on the waterfront of one of Oslo’s fjords. The building, which is a typical representative of Scandinavian architecture, is the work of Italian architect Renzo Piano. It was completed in 2012. The architect designed the museum building in the shape of one of the ships, that used to be moored often at the sea shore in this part of the city.

Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo, NorwayThe materials used are a combination of glass, wood and metal. The main building façade, which is transformed into a glass roof in the form of a tarpaulin, is set into the water. The architect addressed not only the exhibition space itself, but also its surroundings, where he also designed an extensive park with statues and even a beach, which visitors with children like to use after a tour of the museum.
