The Gasteig in Munich is one of Europe’s largest cultural centers, with numerous facilities such as a concert hall, a college of music and theater, an adult education center and a public library. After 30 years of intensive use, the complex underwent a general renovation. Since the Gasteig site had to be completely cleared during the renovation, the users were to move to a site near the Isar river in the Sendling district of Munich during the interim period. A new temporary building was constructed to house the philharmonic orchestra to the south of the existing “Hall E” building. Hall E was converted and is now used by the philharmonic orchestra as a foyer and for other purposes. Further uses were accommodated on the site in modular buildings (M1, M2, M3).
The structural design of the modular buildings is based on a slender skeleton construction using a steel-concrete composite structure. The ceilings and walls were modularly assembled with concrete semi-finished parts and cast with in-situ concrete on the construction site. The modules have no basements and could be built on a shallow foundation after soil improvement measures. All technical equipment is mounted on steel structures on the roofs.
