Kopfbau
In the 1930s, a grandstand was erected as a vantage point for air shows. But in recent years, the historic building in the far east of the trade fair city has stood empty and fallen into disrepair. How could the former box seat at the airport be used in the future? The Munich city council is now daring to experiment. This so-called head building is to be open to a colourful mix of uses once it has been renovated. Many things are conceivable: a district meeting place with restaurants, a space for dance, theatre and panel discussions, for exhibitions, art events or readings. The exciting new start is now being initiated with the renovation of the former ticket hall and part of the old grandstand. Until a final usage programme is finalised, the head building will be used temporarily as an "ExpeRIEMent" until 2024. During this experimental phase, the venue will be used by different actors for up to 8 weeks at a time.
