The Project
The Cultural Post Office – A Place for Social Exchange
Five cultural institutions under one roof – that is the situation in the Neues Rathaus in Kiel. As part of its initiative, the Amt für Kultur und Weiterbildung – the municipal Office for Culture and Continuing Education – now aims to further develop the building as an open, inclusive Third Place, together with the people of the city.
The focus lies on the needs of users, the physical opening up of the building, and closer, more collaborative cooperation between the institutions themselves as well as with the independent scene. Existing structures – from barrier-free access to free offers – provide a strong foundation. The next step is to devise strategies for breaking down boundaries between the different areas – both architecturally and in programming – and to explore new spaces for encounter.
