Cultural and Congress Center in Lucerne KKL - a strange name, but historical. On the site of the current giant building on the shore, near the pier, there was an old building of the cultural center, which the Lucerne residents considered ugly and obsolete. In Switzerland, everything is decided by the inhabitants by voting, including the ruble, in the sense of the franc. They collected money and ordered a new project from the architect Jean Nouvel. He wanted to build it in the form of a ship, right on the lake, he was not allowed to, but he did not refuse the idea and let the lake inside the building, a kind of Venetian canal, and built the main hall in the shape of a ship. This wooden "ship" is enclosed in a completely transparent structure, and the bindings separating the transparent wall are made like huge postcards: a frame with one or another view of the city. The building is tall, there are a lot of “postcards”.
On the terrace of the top floor, you look not only down at the lake, directly at the city, but also up at the aluminum expanse of the inner side of the roof, which protrudes far ahead. There, the lake and the city are reflected, reminiscent of a black-and-white movie of a century ago.
