Münchner Volkstheater: Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei

How do you actually build a people's theater? As simple as necessary, so as not to cause any fear about entering in the audience, and as chic as possible, because theatre is not only about staging on stage. This is the answer of the architectural firm Lederer, Ragnarsdóttir, Oei (Stuttgart) and the construction company Reisch (Bad Saulgau). Their Munich Volkstheater presents itself as a powerfully poetic brick building that is in dialog with the old buildings of the former Munich cattle yard and gives the neighborhood an important cultural impulse.
