The competition task called for preserving the extant core of the Inselhalle while equipping it with new uses. Our architectural concept envisaged leaving the hall clearly discernable from the outside by maintaining the striking roof form but also adding a “little brother” which viewed from above would accentuate the new foyer. All surrounding building parts were tied into these two raised points by folded polygonal roof facets producing an overall sculptural gestalt that presents the new Inselhalle as an architectural entity within the urban landscape. Clearly defined incisions and inward folds in the fa?ade emphasize the building’s primary orientations – toward the front plaza lake promenade and town gate – and accentuate the approaches in particular the new main entrance which is accessed from the plaza.
