The 100-year-old gasometer in Pforzheim was redesigned on the initiative of Wolfgang Scheidtweiler. The new interior structure was transformed into an extraordinary event space by erecting a 35-meter-high steel structure above a concrete ground floor. Yadegar Asisi's 360° panoramas have been shown here since 2014. The structural design was transferred from the engineering office Knapp in Gernsbach using a 3D model in RFEM.
