PROJECT DETAILS

Frank Krayenbühl: Theater Winterthur, 1966D–1979

  • Winterthur, Switzerland, Show on map
  • #CUL #EdgeCase #ClusterStructure #Western Europe
  • Although it is lead plated outside, the building shares many formal characteristics with Brutalism, which makes it a bit of an edge case. The interior is dominated by a mix of ceilings rendered high-tech aesthetics and stark exposed concrete. After an open competition in 1966 and several delays during construction the building opened in 1979. The main hall has a capacity for approx. 800 viewers. Special thanks to Ruedi Widmer

  • In use.
