PROJECT REPORT: MIXED USE SCHEMES


Past the vibrant text, the facade also displays the ability for its users to move around the building in multiple ways


Inspiration


According to Jonathan Schuster, project leader at MVRDV, the client’s original vision for the scheme was to dismantle the practice’s Dutch Expo Pavillion in Hanover – itself now undergoing a conversion into a co-working office building – and reassemble it in Munich. He tells ADF that, although the original pavilion was built to be demounted and reassembled as part of the 2000 World Expo, “various circumstances meant that it was not possible to simply bring it over.” So instead of bringing the pavilion structure itself to the site, the client brought the architects, to design a new version of the concept for Munich.


The site


“For me as a German, the Kultfabrik site is nationally well known, as well as Reeperbahn in Hamburg,” comments Schuster. He adds, on the subject of his first visit, “Arriving there and seeing the industrial past merging with the creative spirit of today you could already think that this would be the most important genesis of the project.”


He tells me on his first visit he was struck


by the “traces of night culture, music and graffiti.” This lively mix was an important inspiration for the team, alongside the flexible industrial architecture locally. The architect describes the Werksviertel district as presenting an inspiring contrast to the more “conservative, cosy Munich” on the other side of the station underpass; “a totally different world.”


The architect describes the architectural evolution of the area: “With each new building that is completed, a piece of its identity is created, which, at the latest with the concert hall, acquires its own downtown quality.” “We were able to team up with the local architects from N-V-O and a great consultant team around Wolf+ and Teuber+Viel to create a new focal point for the new emerging district around the building.”
