The former shipbuilding hall in Zurich West has been remodelled by the renowned architects Ortner & Ortner, Vienna / Berlin and subsequently converted into a theatre and workshops by the Schauspielhaus Zurich. This profound change in the character of the premises has instigated immediate neighbourhood but also the entire city of Zurich.
The writers discuss this transformation and its consequences in terms of architecture, theatre, politics, urban development and history.
