Project description
W+P Gesellschaft für Projektrealisierung mbH has been commissioned with the project management for the prestigious large-scale project "Haus für Film und Medien". Responsible within WOLFF GRUPPE are Kay Zetzsche and Jens Wetzel, who have already successfully managed other projects of the group together.
“Haus für Film und Medien” is one of the major current cultural projects and will become the center for film and media culture in Stuttgart. As part of the ambitious Smart City strategy "Digital MoveS - Stuttgart.Gestaltet.Zukunft", the new construction is intended to be both a place of identification for all citizens and a significant cultural institution far beyond the city.
“Haus für Film und Medien” will be centrally located on the site of the former Breuninger parking garage, extending Stuttgart's cultural mile consisting of the famous “Staatsgalerie” museum, the Württemberg State Library and the City Palace all the way to Wilhelmplatz. In addition, the redesign of the urban space at Leonhardsplatz will provide an attractive connection across the previous barrier of the B14 between the city center at Marktplatz and Leonhardsvorstadt.
The design by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects from Vienna with Wenzel+Wenzel Freie Architekten PartmbB from Karlsruhe prevailed in a pan-European structural engineering realization competition.
In the winning design, a total area of around 4,500 square meters is distributed over two structures: the “Haus für Film und Medien”, as an architecturally exposed building opposite the Leonhardskirche, and the "Mobility Hub" behind it.
All formats of the moving image from animation, games and software to virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence will find a home in the “Haus für Film und Medien”. Labs, studios and workshop rooms for active media work as well as movie theaters, event- and exhibition areas as spaces for presentation and discourse are planned as elements of the interdisciplinary, high-profile cultural program.
As project manager, W+P Gesellschaft für Projektrealisierung mbH is ensuring a quick and smooth implementation of the high profile project. Completion is scheduled in time for the International Building Exhibition "IBA'27 StadtRegion Stuttgart".
