Multiplicities manages the strategy development for new flexible spaces on the Gaswerk in Augsburg (Germany). The aim is to build several 100 sqm of creative and office spaces for new forms of work, creative labs, studios, music studio rooms and micro-gastronomy. Creative entrepreneurs will animate and activate the Gaswerk and create employment options on this transformation site. On the basis of a strategy analysis, initial cost calculations and user surveys have been carried out along inspiring reference projects. Gasworks Labs integrate users and neighbors and thus ensure gradual acceptance and participation. From 2021, flexible rooms are to be built and made available for use.
