The new building of the Kunsthaus Zürich, designed by David Chipperfield, now stands in all its splendor on Zurich's Heimplatz, opposite the old museum building of 1910 designed by Karl Moser. The museum's opening to the public in October 2021 will make it Switzerland's largest art museum.

This book, following the two previous volumes on Kunsthaus Zürich's architectural history and the design for turning it into an art museum for the twenty-first century, documents the genesis of David Chipperfield's extension from proposal through political debates about the entire project to completed structure. It features a foreword by David Chipperfield and an essay by Christoph Felger, executive architect for the project at David Chipperfield Architects Berlin, that discusses the design concept, the promise made with it, and its fulfillment.

A conversation between Christoph Felger, the director of the City of Zurich's Building Surveyor's Office Wiebke Rösler, and Kunsthaus Zürich's director Christoph Becker, and architecture critic Sabine von Fischer, as well as numerous illustrations and plans, sound out this new volume.
