SINCE 04.04.25 "REGINA - EIN WARENHAUS ALS SPIEGEL DER ZEIT", DIETIKON PROJEKTRAUM
Dive into the history of the brutalist icon Kaufhaus Regina in Dietikon, Zurich. I have contributed a text on Brutalism and a Carte Brute Zurich map.
60 years after its opening, the Regina department store is getting its own exhibition. What did this striking brutalist building mean to people? What visions were associated with it? And what does the Regina tell us today about the transformation of commerce, architecture and society? The exhibition explores consumerism, internationalism and social change – told through the stories and memories of former shop assistants and locals.
An exhibition by Dietikon Projektraum, curated by Kim Anni Bassen
