Bruno Weber Park is a sculpture park in the Swiss municipalities Spreitenbach and Dietikon, and besides the Fahr Abbey one of the visitor attractions in the Limmat Valley. The sculpture garden is designed as a ''Gesamtkunstwerk'' of the Swiss artist Bruno Weber (1931–2011). == Architecture == The park covers an area of and has been extended on the grounds of the former estate of Bruno Weber's parent. Over the years, it was decorated with dozens of columns, reliefs, heads and gargoyles. A high tower at the entrance area and the estate tower were also built, being landmarks overlooking the Limmat Valley. The family's estate was re-built in a "fairy-tale castle", with colorful mosaics and decorated animal sculptures. The ''Wassergarten'' was opened in May 2012 and is surrounded by two long "wing dogs" (''Flügelhund'') forming a footbridge, including a ballroom for events to the west. The ''Crawler'' is still not really finished, as well as the biggest project that previously existed only on paper: three oversized caterpillars on the water garden room. A few years ago, the ETH Zurich faculty prepared a feasibility study, but it was still not realized.〔 2014 Bruno Weber Park Oktober 2014-10-17 15-06-03.JPG|water garden building 2013 Bruno Weber Skulpturenpark-Führung - Wasserparkhaus - Innenansicht 2013-08-02 11-48-15.JPG|interior 2013 Bruno Weber Skulpturenpark-Führung - Turm 2013-08-02 12-06-57.JPG|tower 2014 Bruno Weber Park - Innenansicht der Villa ... hoffentlich mit Wiedereröffnung nach Oktober 2014-10-17 16-36-10.JPG|the villa's interior Although Bruno Weber began his artistic career as a painter and graphic artist, he is best known for his concrete sculptures that are some of the main attractions of the park. Since 1966 that material started to dominate his future work, because only concrete allowed Bruno Weber to realize his visions impressive. In addition, the choice of that material is closely related to the construction activity in the Limmat Valley as a kind of counterpoint; the same stuff of many apartment blocks were built in the valley in the 1960s and 1970s. Two dragon figures (one male and one female specimen) mark the entrance into the ''magic forest'' across from the Weber's family house. That sculpture treats a motif running through Weber's entire work – the balance between woman and man. The dragon gate in the sculpture park is the prototype of the so-called ''Drachentor'' sculpture, that represented Switzerland at the World Expo 1992 in Seville. The first stones in the sculpture park, however, were already laid, as Weber Antoni saw Gaudí's Park Güell in Barcelona for the first time. Also thousands of mosaic tiles adorn the sculptures of Bruno Weber. At the estate's own water source, opposite of the Weber house, in the early 1970s the artits built a fountain called the ''Source Godess''. It is one of the first concrete sculptures made by Weber, and he called it "his Indian character".〔 2013 Bruno Weber Skulpturenpark-Führung - Villa Gartenbereich 2013-08-02 12-29-04.JPG|Indian water well Goddess 2014 Bruno Weber Park - Alphorn - Oktober 2014-10-17 16-15-36.JPG|''magic forest'' 2013 Bruno Weber Skulpturenpark-Führung - Hausteich 2013-08-02 12-34-58.JPG|mosaic tiles 2013 Bruno Weber Skulpturenpark-Führung 2013-08-02 12-23-17.JPG|male and female The interior decoration of the "ballsall" respectively ''Wassergartenhaus'' and of the villa was done by Bruno Weber and partially by his wife. The tower of the villa is high; the villa's ground floor is partially open for public access. The so-called ''Flügelhund'' is a beton structure and may be used as a footbridge overloocking nearly the whole garden, except the area in the forest to the northwest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bruno Weber Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
