Mobile Architecture, Temporary Space, Flying Building

The REH Space Expansion Halls

Mobile architecture or flying buildings can be a solution to the ever-increasing lack of space in cities worldwide. Answers to this question can already be found in GDR architecture, such as Helmut Both's concertina hall. The exhibition looks at a very special product that was produced around 3,500 times between 1966 and 1989 - the Raumerweiterungshalle, or “REH” for short. Halls based on the principle of a telescope from Boizenburg (Elbe) are true spatial wonders and shaped the image of many towns in the GDR, but can still be found today. An exhibition in cooperation with the Müther Archive at Wismar University of Applied Sciences.
