RED FLOW MULTIHALLE MANNHEIM

Idea – The overall concept interferes with the surrounding park, however, in probably the most respectful way. The idea concept gives rise to the new building called „Minihalle“, which is interconnected with current pedestrian paths.

The planned move of the main entrance to the park to its new position was taken into account in the proposal, but we also left the old entrance. These two points of entry into the park are then interconnected through both buildings - with a red ramp running through both Multihalle and Minihalle. This makes it possible to connect different urban areas directly across the park. The individual sidewalks in the park become new "urban streets," and the footbridge in the Multihalle occupies the function of a "shopping street" or a transitional "indoor market" with squares in its broadest parts.

Proposal – idea concept adds / brings a new object to the park - "MINIHALLE" - with its new enriching function. "MINIHALLE" is a tribute to the architect of the original "MULTIHALLE" Frei Otto and a reference to his architectural work. We designed "MINIHALLE" as a reflection of how his works could look now with available technologies, while adhering to the current technical requirements. Preservation of the original look of construction and its functions - greenery - "garden show" - public / community gardens - "Vision of a living breathing architecture."

The design creates additional spaces that add value and importance to the whole site - amphitheater and viewpoint, exhibition spaces, market and lively street ...

We present you structurally separate and self-contained design. We leave the original perimeter constructions of the hall in their current state and the inadequate thermal insulation properties of the space are solved separately, within the individual designed cells (inserted constructions).

We aimed to make the most of the Multihalle by using the available space as effective as possible. Therefore, we have decided to use the currently empty spaces under the original "footbridge". Not very attractive space without any current use is refreshed and acquires a purpose. The proposal transforms this less than ideal space, fulfilling it with non-community related function that adds value to the building (office space).

In our journey to use Multihalle premises in the most efficient way we fill the entire space / volume of the hall and use all its height / volume options. Not just the lower floor under the large "empty" dome of the hall.

• It invites visitors to walk around space - the red color / line leads them. Walking along the ramp creates opportunities for interesting vistas – dynamics of perspective. A visitor is concerned that they can always see 2-3 different sceneries from one place.
• It combines the diverse interests of the community, whether visually or in communication, at the same time. This allows bringing together people who have an overview of what is happening around them.
• It also thematically connects all the spaces in the "multihalle" and connects it with the "minihalle" extension.
• Several varied spaces are being designed on it, spreading over several levels.
• It is designed without barriers, allowing free movement across space for everyone.
