The Vitra Campus is a stone’s throw from the Dreiländereck, where the borders of Germany, France and Switzerland meet. It’s a corner of Europe rich with art and design institutional muscle, with Fondation Beyeler, Museum Tinguely and Art Basel (when in session) all less than a 15-minute drive away. Buildings on the campus include a fire station by Zaha Hadid, a Jasper Morrison bus stop, a viewing tower with a slide by Carsten Höller, a petrol station by Jean Prouvé, a geodesic dome by Richard Buckminster Fuller, and a small cabin by Renzo Piano. VitraHaus – the flagship store that Oudolf ’s garden surrounds – was designed and built by Herzog & de Meuron in 2010 (W*133). The clean, exacting lines and modern fabrications of the architecture both contrast with and complement Oudolf ’s landscaping – his complex planting techniques favour texture and structure over frothy blooms, creating year-round ambience so natural as to appear free of human intervention.
