Portrait of the architect Günter Behnisch

Günter Behnisch Can you build freedom?

In 2022, the architect Günter Behnisch would have been 100 years old. Hard to believe! Today many of his works seem as fresh as ever. This is true of our VS headquarters and the 900 Series furniture system, both designed by Behnisch. Join us on an anniversary stroll through his diverse work!

Olympic stadium in Munich

On the one hand, there is the 1972 Olympic site, which became the landmark of a cosmopolitan Munich, indeed of Germany. Even today, the softly modelled landscape with the stadiums and Frei Otto's sweeping tent-roof architecture is a place of encounter. A serene vision, without pathos and power symbolism. Have you ever been there?
