Linz Theatre of Music | Austria
The proposed Music Theatre was a competition Design Engine entered in 2008. The theatre was to occupy a pivotal location in the city of Linz. The infrastructure surrounding the site presents sig- nificant challenges but we challenged ourselves to overcome these. The new building was designed to be a gateway to the city, seen on arrival and de- parture from the Hauptbahnhof and to create a new landmark on the city skyline. Extensive landscaped public space of the Volksgarten would complete a visually continuous open space, including the St. Barbara-Friedhof cemetery to the south.
