BIX, a name which consists of the words "Big" and "pixels", is the acrylic glass skin of the eastern side of the building, which consists of 930 fluorescent lamps whose brightness can be individually adjusted.

Rather, its exclusive purpose is to present and procure contemporary art productions. It does not collect art, maintains no permanent exhibitions and does not have its own depot. Kunsthaus Graz was developed as an institution to stage international exhibitions of multidisciplinary, modern and contemporary art from the 1960s to the present day. Concept Īrchitecture, design, new media, internet art, film, and photography are united under one roof. The building incorporates the façade of the Eisernes Haus, a iron-framed structure built in 1848. Owing to its shape contrasting with its surroundings, it is known in local vernacular as the "Friendly Alien". The building is an example of blob architecture, and has a skin made of iridescent blue acrylic panels that also double as photovoltaic panels. According to The Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London, the Kunsthaus' design sought to be deliberately provocative, innovate museum design by offering a less "institutional" approach to organising exhibition spaces and employs new materials and manufacturing techniques. Kunsthaus Graz was designed by Colin Fournier and Sir Peter Cook. Its exhibition program specializes in contemporary art from the 1960s onwards.
The Kunsthaus Graz, Grazer Kunsthaus, or Graz Art Museum was built as part of the European Capital of Culture celebrations in 2003 and has since become an architectural landmark in Graz, Austria.
