Grimm Welt

Located in a scenic park on the hillside of a vineyard close to the city centre of Kassel, the new exhibition building blends gently into the landscape. The building intensifies the characteristic atmosphere of this UNESCO-world heritage site by becoming a walkable sculpture and resonating the topography of the site.

The purpose is to engage the visitors with the exhibition through giving space to intellectual and emotional nuances, reflecting the complexity of the German language and honouring their distinguished fairy tale collection of the Brothers Grimm. The lighting softly enhances the shape of the architecture and immerses the surrounding in a marvellous ambiance, all while echoing its inner structure and gently bringing the invaluable substance of Germany’s heritage to life.
