The new building of Kunsthalle Mannheim<\/strong> by the architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp)<\/strong> is currently one of the largest museum buildings in Germany which, with is unmistakable appearence, confidently stands amongst the neighboring buildings. After several large museum projects in Asia, such as the Maritime Museum in Lingang New City (China), the National Museum in Beijingm and the Hanoi Museum (Vietnam), this is gmp’s first new museum building of comparable dimensions in Germany.
\nThe new museum building at Friedrichsplatz<\/strong> in Mannheim links up with the existing Art Nouveau building, the so-called \u201cBilling\u201d building, and has been designed as a \u201ccity in the city.\u201d Within a simple overall structure, individual cubes have been arranged in an inspiring composition to provide exhibition space and rooms for supporting functions. They enclose a central atrium and are linked via galleries, terraces, and bridges. In analogy to the elements that make up urban environments\u00a0– buildings, blocks, streets, and squares\u00a0– varied circular routes are created for the visitors through closed and open spaces with changing vistas and outlooks. Nevertheless, visitors find it easy to get their bearings in the museum, which replicates the straightforward, ordered structure of the \u201ccity of squares\u201d that is Mannheim. At the same time, every situation along the route of the exhibitions offers new impressions\u00a0– just as in cities no place is like another owing to the diversity of the architecture, changes in the building lines, and recesses, squares, and open spaces.<\/p>
