Progressing Hohenems – Scenes From A Museum, A City Part 1 Project 2019 Stephanie Ganahl University of Liechtenstein | Liechtenstein The extension of the Jewish Museum in Hohenems/Austria not only deals with the question of how the museum can be supplemented, but also with the question of what a museum is at all. By questioning the traditional concepts of a museum, various spaces, all located in the inconspicuous secondary structure, are distributed in the inner city.Through the three locations, which in their capacity provide space for discourses in a backyard, space for processed knowledge, placed in the garden of the Villa Rosenthal and space for unfiltered knowledge opposite the existing Jewish Museum adjacent to the city archive, the moments that define a museum for me are integrated into the entire inner city, thus creating a museum that encompasses the historical core of Hohenems. In this way, the prevailing atmospheres and the small-scale urban structure, which I have always regarded as potentials, can be experienced. Accordingly, the city is read as a construct of qualities of materiality, the built, the unbuilt and the thought. The museum generates itself from the interaction of several places and functions through the interaction city - space - museum - society - human being. Tutor(s) Hugo Dworzak
