He responds to the irregular shape of the plaza and the arrangement of the surrounding buildings with a dual system of horizontal and vertical elements:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003eThe Stripes:\u003c\/b\u003e Six white-colored concrete strips are embedded flush into the ground.

These steles act as visual signals and relate directly to the human scale in their height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe steles are formally diverse—using a rhythmic interplay of hollow spaces and solid planes to create a \"field of tension.\" Depending on the viewer's standpoint, the optical relationships and perspectives constantly shift, effectively redefining the space with every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eContext \u0026amp; Significance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eGöttin precisely analyzed the function of the site: the Gutsmatte plaza is not a place for lingering, but a space of transit. Pedestrians cross it on their way to the train station, the administration offices, or the hospital. The installation accompanies this movement, offering passersby a series of shifting perceptions. It invites them to see new connections between architecture, art, and the human presence. As art historian Hedy Graber noted, Göttin’s intervention \"checks\" the architecture, turning the act of crossing the plaza into a conscious, aesthetic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eKey Technical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/b\u003e Permanent site-specific public art installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/b\u003e Precast white-colored concrete (ground elements); red-coated steel (steles).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003eScope:\u003c\/b\u003e 6 ground stripes and a field of vertical steles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e Gutsmatte administrative building, Liestal, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/b\u003e 1993–1997.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11,5,0\"\u003eThemes:\u003c\/b\u003e Spatial relationships, human scale, architectural dialogue, transit spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eBring Art to Your Space\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThis project illustrates our artists' ability to engage with monumental urban scales—from permanent public art to immersive sculptural fields.
