Through a series of interviews with key- players involved in the design and realization process, it looks back on the implemented innovative ecological and adaptable design strategie, as wel as on the participatory co-design process behind this remarkable building. It is one of Frei Otto’s least know projects, yet a masterpiece and radical consequence of his groundbreaking thinking on adaptability.
