Theater Basel
Comprehensive renovation and modernization
The Theater Basel is the largest three-discipline theater in Switzerland (opera, drama and ballet) and is essentially divided into two buildings, the "Theater building" and the "Playhouse", and three stages. The theater building was aging and in need of major renovation in the building and stage areas. The need for renovation in the playhouse was marginal.
The modernization was worked out by the planning team ARGE GP Gruner/Hartmann Architects. The upcoming renovation measures as well as any extraordinary projects were bundled into efficient packages of measures and presented in summary form.
During the analysis phase, a holistic renovation concept was developed from the conceptual catalog of measures, which also coordinated and considered the measures for stage technology, building technology, fire protection and general maintenance. From the current inventory, individual measures have been formulated across all specialist areas. For each of these measures, a prioritization, the costs, and a deadline were assigned
