Holzer Kobler Architekturen

Holzer Kobler Architekturen was founded in January 2004 by Barbara Holzer and Tristan Kobler, who have worked together since 2001. It concentrates on the interaction between architecture, exhibition and media design. The focus of their work lies in the scenographique approach and cultural embedment. The company has 25 employees (architects and designers). In 2008 it was awarded the Grand Prix Design by the Swiss Confederation for its work in the field of exhibition design.

Some of the recently completed projects by Holzer Kobler Architekturen include the residential site Cattaneo (2008, Dietikon, CH), the exhibitions „In heikler Mission“ (on a delicate mission) (2007, Swiss National Museum, Zurich, CH) and „All we need“ (2007, Luxembourg – European Capital of Culture 2007, Esch-Belval, L), the structural renovation of the shopping center Schönbühl (2006, Lucerne, CH) and the visitor center with observation tower and exhibition „Arche Nebra“ (2007, Nebra, D). Other projects currently in planning or under construction are among others the mall design of the Outlet Center Wigoltingen (2010, Wigoltingen, CH), the residential site Thun (2012, Thun, CH) and the permanent exhibitions in the German Army Museum of Military History (2009, Dresden, D) and the Swiss National Museum (2009 Zurich, CH).

Barbara Holzer (dipl. Arch. ETH/SIA) has a long experience working as an architect in Switzerland and Europe. From 1994 to 2008 she worked for the Studio Daniel Libeskind on different international projects with focus on cultural buildings and exhibition design. She has realized the Felix Nussbaum Haus in Osnabrück and the exhibition Berlin-Moscow in Berlin, and was, among other projects, involved in the work of The Jewish Museum in San Francisco. Since 2001 she has been in charge of the shopping and leisure center of Westside in Bern which opened in October 2008. In 1999 she opened her office d-case with focus on interiors, exhibitions and scenography.
Barbara Holzer had the architectural responsibility for the leisure and shopping center Westside, Bern, by Daniel Libeskind, which was inaugurated in October 2008.

As architect, curator and scenographer in cultural and commercial settings Tristan Kobler (dipl. Arch. ETH) has developed and realized more than 70 exhibitions. All projects have been the product of a close co-operation with experts, scientists, artists and clients – many of them with Martin Heller for the Museum of Design (Museum für Gestaltung) in Zurich (among them „Herzblut“, „Mehrwerte“ and „Zeitreise“). Since 1996 he has worked independently as architect and curator. In 1999 he founded the company Morphing Systems, whose exhibition projects attracted attention in Switzerland and abroad. With Morphing Systems he initiated the cultural project KLINK which earned much praise and realized several projects for the Swiss national exhibition Expo.02.
