The MÜTHER theme week focuses on the master builder Ulrich Müther (1934-2007) from Binz, who would have been 90 years old on 21 July 1934. An excellent occasion to honour his person and his work.
He is regarded as THE hypar shell specialist. His spectacular buildings are architectural gems of modernism. One of the best-known examples is the Müther Tower at Strandabgang 6.
A theatre performance on the occasion of Ulrich Müther's 90th birthday is on the programme. This homage approaches his work and intentions: sometimes anecdotal, sometimes factual, sensual and lively, like Müther's buildings themselves. But it is also the story of a master builder caught between two systems, about the art of engineering that overcomes boundaries.
Based on Müther's method of shell construction, this homage performatively and artistically adds layer after layer to the ‘Müther basic framework’. The result is a filigree, yet supporting image of Ulrich Müther, a ‘BeTONcollage’ about the visionary and engineer from Binz.
