Der Umgang mit historischer Bausubstanz ist seit geraumer Zeit ein zentraler Bestandteil des internationalen architektonischen Diskurses. Herzog & de Meuron haben sich schon früh mit dem Potenzial vorhandener Strukturen auseinandergesetzt: Erhaltung und Veränderung von Gebäuden zählen zu den zentralen Strategien der Architekten. Ein neues Modell für den Umgang mit einem Baudenkmal haben Herzog & de Meuron für die Park Avenue Armory in New York entwickelt. Der historische Bau wurde 1881 als Treffpunkt und Exerzierplatz für die Nationalgarde an der Upper East Side Manhattans eröffnet und mit einer reichen Mischung verschiedener Stile ausgestattet. Herzog & de Meuron haben für die Transformation des heute als Kulturzentrum genutzten Gebäudes eine vielgliedrige Strategie entwickelt, die es erlaubt, Restaurierung, Umgestaltung und Innovation zu verbinden. Von der Freilegung historischer Strukturen bis zu neuen Elementen gewinnt die Architektur aus der Verschränkung vieler Ebenen eine neue Kraft. In der aktuellen Debatte ist diese Abkehr von der denkmalpflegerischen Praxis in den USA über den konkreten Fall hinaus ein originärer Beitrag, der sich nah am Material entfaltet. Exemplarisch und zukunftweisend.

How to deal with historic buildings has long been a core issue of the international architectural discourse. Herzog & de Meuron began addressing the potential of existing structures very early on: the maintenance and alteration of buildings are among the key strategies of the architects. For the Park Avenue Armory in New York, Herzog & de Meuron have designed a new model for dealing with monuments. The historical building was opened in 1881 on the Upper East Side of Manhattan as a meeting place and training ground for the National Guard, and boasts a rich mixture of different styles. Herzog & de Meuron developed a multifaceted strategy for the transformation of the building, now used as a cultural center, that allows for a combination of restoration, transformation, and innovation. From the exposing of historic structures to the addition of new elements, the architecture gained new vibrancy from the considered entanglement of different aspects. In the current debate, this departure from the practice of historic preservation in the United States is, beyond its value as an actual example, a unique contribution that unfolds in close reference to material. It is exemplary and groundbreaking.
