As the Württemberg State Theater Stuttgart undergoes renovations and expansions, it requires an interim location, which will be situated on the C1 site near the Wagenhallen. This relocation coincides with the International Building Exhibition (IBA) 27, where Maker City, a mixed-use, experimental urban quarter, is being developed. In 2023, the city of Stuttgart initiated a competition to design a sustainable urban block that combines living and working spaces. This new building, intended to host the Württembergisches Staatstheater Stuttgart for the first 10 years, is a project we have named “Tempora.” Working alongside RAU architects, we reimagined the democratic concert hall type, inspired by Scharoun’s Weinberg architecture, by turning its structure inside out. Our design reimagines the traditional stepped structure of the vineyard into a cascade of visitor terraces, which we envision as an integral part of an ecologically and socially responsible urban development in the wine-growing region of Baden-Württemberg. Many components can be dismantled After the theater’s interim use concludes in 2037, many components of the building can be dismantled and sustainably integrated into the Maker City for reuse.
