Pavilions by Frei Otto
As the architect who designed the Olympic Park in Munich, Frei Otto even became known beyond expert circles. He designed the building to house the sewing and upholstery shops when Wilkhahn planned to extend its production area in 1987. Instead of a traditional factory building the result was 4 pavilions with a light, tent-roof construction comprising suspended wooden beams. The shapes, derived from organic structures, blend harmoniously with the landscape. The interior is friendly and bright, and provides an enviable, productive working atmosphere. These pavilions, which have received numerous awards, are regarded throughout the world as models of excellence of people-oriented industrial architecture.
