Like no other, Frei Otto gave fundamental impetus to the architecture of the second half of the 20th century. His pioneering spirit and his work in lightweight construction were a source of inspiration for numerous architects, engineers and artists worldwide. These include the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Frei Otto is rarely associated with his birthplace of Chemnitz-Siegmar. A multi-part programme, conceived by numerous partners and consisting of events, workshops and exhibitions, is intended to highlight him as an important personality in Chemnitz.
