HFT.Venue

The first floor of the landmarked main building is to be given a contemporary, open, flexible and variable useable spatial structure. This will enable new forms of use and rapid adaptation to changing requirements.

A stronger opening and connection to both the city garden (Stadtgarten) and the inner courtyard between Buildings 1 and 3 is to be created. The new space for meetings, events and exhibitions also provides a spatial and programmatic link to the HFT.Space.
