Pavilion 21 Mini Opera Space

Coop Himmelb(l)au took on the job of creating this design in 2008. The opera space was constructed and completed in 2010 in Munich, Germany. The building can host up to 700 standing spectators and 300 seated spectators. The pavilion is dismountable, transportable, and re-mountable. The firm used soundscaping to optimize the experience for all users of the space. I appreciate the shapes used to create a Coop Himmelb(l)au staple in design. The space is only about  20000 square feet. It amazes me that the piece only took two months to construct and that it is movable for different events across the greater Munich area. The entrance of the building is my favorite feature with almost a diamond shape jutting out.
