The original spirit of Ernst Koller lives on, supported by the Swiss School for Metal and Building Architecture Design Technology and by Berrel Berrel Kräutler Architects. The Ernst Koller Pavilion is planned as an inspiration for young architects and builders working with metals construction materials. Ernst Koller is an internationally successful businessman, famous furniture designer and film director shaped the international aluminum and metal world like no other. Among his most significant inventions are double-glazing (1929), included wood and metal windows (1937), light metal windows and facades (1955), whole metal facades, modern prefabricated structure, exposed house styles and minimalist skeleton building design ideas.

Sustainable Ernst Koller Pavilion is situated on Riehen Street (Riehenstrasse) in Basel near to the School for Metal and Building Technology. The unostentatious, up till now distinctive, amazing pavilion building stands in outstanding contrast to an adjoining baroque garden park. The Pavilion structure was made from a pre-existing Ernst Koller aluminium H-section. The Pavilion’s exterior is uncluttered and minimalist design characteristic. Funded through the Ernst and Herta Koller-Ritter foundation and through numerous national concerns, graduates of the Metal- and Building Technology School were considerably involved during the Pavilion’s planning and subsequent erection. via
