The case of Landshut at the Große Rathausgalerie: Exhibition on reconstruction and future

An evening for architecture, urban history, and the art of repurposing

With the opening of the exhibition The case of Landshut, the Große Rathausgalerie focuses on a discussion about architecture, monument culture, and sustainable transformation on Monday, July 13, 2026. Designs, plans, and models from study projects at TU Munich on the topic of adaptive reuse and repurposing will be displayed.

When the existing becomes future

At the center is the Mittelschule Landshut-Schönbrunn as a concrete case of potential repurposing. The examination of the work ranges from drawing concepts to spatial models and makes visible how architecture responds to social change. Here, a special exhibition atmosphere unfolds: precise, investigative, urban, and simultaneously open to new perspectives.

Sustainability as a cultural task

The exhibition connects curation, urban development, and cultural education with a current question of building culture: How can vacant or outdated buildings be rethought without losing their history? The focus on repurposing, upcycling, and conserving grey energy anchors the project in a contemporary architectural discourse that extends far beyond Landshut.

Models, plans, and the language of space

Plans and models translate theory into spatial experience. Those who view the works experience how materiality, proportions, and usage concepts relate to each other. The exhibition thus opens a broader artistic experience: not merely as a presentation, but as an aesthetic experience of research, design, and responsibility.

City, university, and the public in dialogue

At the opening, Mayor Dr. Thomas Haslinger, as well as Roberta Fonti and Thomas Danzl from TU Munich, will speak. This constellation makes the event a meeting point of urban politics, university teaching, and public cultural work. For visitors, this offers a rare insight into the emergence of architectural ideas.

The exhibition The case of Landshut promises a clever, visual, and future-oriented perspective on reconstruction, further development, and existing structures. Anyone interested in architecture, urban development, and cultural education should experience this evening live at the Große Rathausgalerie.
