Description

Ernst Gisel's town hall for Fellbach is a building that inspires enthusiasm. Its design invites visitors to linger, even without a reason to do so. The Stuttgart museum, with its terraces, ramps, and open rotunda, draws people in, while the Fellbach building has a strong sense of suction that pulls them into its inner courtyard. Gisel himself described the atmosphere as "a bit Italian", which is fitting given the urban quality of the new town hall. This quality is reflected in the detailed architectural solutions and the care with which Gisel designed the interior spaces. The result is a building that feels like a cohesive whole, where every element contributes to the overall sense of place.
