Context. Historical events shape identity, and this holds true for the building at Theaterplatz 4. Located directly across from the significant Weimar National Theatre, it plays a crucial role in the city's narrative. This heritage-listed former carriage depot (1823) stands as a witness to a diverse history. Like the city itself, the building has undergone numerous architectural transformations. Its most recent incarnation as an art gallery, known as the "Bauhaus Museum," strategically aligns with Theaterplatz, showcasing its grand facade. While the original symmetrical concept has been somewhat obscured by alterations to the side annexes, the art gallery's expansive exhibition space emerges clearly from its original symmetry. However, while the building's connection to the square is well-defined and architecturally significant, this precision is lost in the rear portion.
