Every summer, a LEGO® exhibition is held in Rüsselsheim. The municipal theatre is then home to hundreds of thousands of LEGO bricks. My wife and I are also there every time. All participants and visitors to the theater are clearly enthusiastic about the building and its extraordinary and worth-preserving architecture.
Excerpt from Wikipedia (translated from German):
“The floor plan consists of two parabolas that are pushed into each other and facing each other. The roofs of the two building sections slope away from each other. The apex of the rear building section pierces the roof of the front façade and forms a dormer there. The building is called the “Shark’s Mouth” due to its slit-like window.” [1]

All this has inspired me to rebuild the building. It wasn’t easy, and it took a few attempts before I came up with an acceptable solution for the construction at this scale.
