Valerio Olgiati - Latest Building Addition Auditorium Plantahof, Landquart, Switzerland photo © Javier Miguel Verme Plantahof Auditorium - 3 Apr 2012 The placement of the new auditorium creates a new central square within the overall structure of the Plantahof agriculture school. The high façade holds together the new piazza. The inner space of the auditorium lies in half-light. Two windows facing each other define the inner space and allow for a view from the new piazza towards the axis of the Prättigau valley. A thin, dark coloured, concrete wall stretches over the pillars and beams like a tent.
