    L’Or du Rhin / Center for Art, Beckagässli 8, 9490 Vaduz
    The so-called "L’Or du Rhin" or "Center for Art" was designed between 1971 and 1974 by the Cuban architect, artisan, sculptor and painter Ricardo Porro (1925-2014).
    The architect was commissioned by the financier Robert Altmann to design an office with a gallery. He wanted to combine his private painting collection with his offices. So Ricardo Porro, who had previously worked mainly in Cuba, designed the building in three parts. The offices, which could be rented, were to be located on the ground floor. The large exhibition rooms were planned for the upper floors, which were also to serve as the entrance hall to Robert Altmann's private offices. The idea behind the construction was that the building should correspond to the image of the small country of Liechtenstein. The idea was to express the fact that Liechtenstein was one of the most important centers of the business world.
    The building, which is on the one hand massive and physical and on the other energetic and dynamic, consists of a complicated glass and metal facade with gold-tinted windows. The most striking feature of the building is probably the hanging slats made of anodized aluminum in a gold tone. When the constantly ringing slats partially fell down during a December storm, they were fitted with a ball steering system so that they no longer moved and the intended sound effect disappeared.
