Multihalle Activation
The Multihalle was designed to become the living centre of the neighbourhood. In the words of Frei Otto: “We can design halls spanning several kilometres and covering a whole city, but we have to ask, what does it really make? What does society really need?”
Engaging the neighbours in a participative process is the first step in turning the Multihalle from a ‘space’ into a ‘place’. It is important to recognise the unique opportunity it represents for the neighbourhood, for Mannheim and for the Baden-Württemberg region.
To initiate an open dialogue with the neighbours, we took out its distinctive yellow chairs and sat down to discuss how the Multihalle can benefit the area.
