WERKstattPALAST, a science and culture festival at the Rhine harbour
What we put on under our own steam shows best what we deliver for clients.
Background

Brief and approach
ato designed, built and ran a purpose-built pavilion at the Karlsruhe Rhine harbour. Over ten weeks it hosted a curated programme of salons, performances, workshops and dialogues, co-organised with the KIT Innovation Hub. Around 190 contributors from across Germany helped shape the programme.
Outcome
95 events, more than 5,500 visitors, over 30 experts and more than 70 interviews.
