Switzerland – Project and design preparation, estimation of costs – Generalplanerleistungen für neue Ausstellung «Einfach Zürich 2028» im Landesmuseum Zürich

Einfach Zürich primarily targets the population of the City and Canton of Zürich in all its diversity. The exhibition is intended to foster a sense of identity for people living in the canton, provide a space for self-reflection, and enable a critical engagement with the past and present. Central to this is the mediation through guided tours; the scenographic concept must also accommodate the space requirements for school classes and groups of around 30 people. At the same time, tourists as well as persons without a strong connection to Zürich or extensive prior knowledge should also be addressed. The subject of the tender is the commissioning of a General Planning Team for Scenography in a selective, two-stage procedure (pre-qualification and tender phase) in the public procurement sector according to IVöB 2019. A team is sought that, in close collaboration with the co-leadership of the association (curatorial responsibility), will take over the overall scenographic development of the new permanent exhibition "Einfach Zürich 2028". The contract includes, in particular, the design and detailed conception of the exhibition design (space, scenography, media), the development of an overall spatial and dramatic concept based on a curatorial outline with four chapters (Intro, Kaleidoscope, Playground, Outro), as well as the development of mediation levels for different target groups, including child-friendly offers. Furthermore, the contract includes the execution planning, the creation of the technical tender documents for executing companies, the supervision of the awards, as well as the production supervision and construction management until the exhibition is put into operation. The General Planning Team coordinates the involved specialist planners and specialist trades (e.g. media, lighting, exhibition graphics, exhibition construction) in close coordination with the client and the responsible bodies of the Landesmuseum. Particular importance is attached to robust, low-maintenance solutions and compliance with the operational standards of the Landesmuseum, particularly with regard to sustainability, accessibility and quadrilingualism. The exhibition is to be created as a collaborative work of the curatorial and general planning team; teams with proven experience in the conception and realisation of comparable exhibition projects (museums, permanent exhibitions, scenography) are sought.
