2 Basel has a new number the Volkshaus In several steps, Volkshaus Basel will be remodeled and former uses reinstated such as hotel, shop, bar (No.1), brasserie (No.2), concert hall (No.4, 5 and 6). The architectural intervention by renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron aims to revitalize the diversity of uses of the unique location in order to combine cultural events, arts and gastronomy in one and the same building. In spring 2012, Volkshaus Basel opened its No.1 (Bar), No.2 (Brasserie) and No.3 (Courtyard). Together with the already opened event spaces (No.4, 5 and 6), the location is already today able to offer an unparalleled diversity of uses in order to satisfy the needs and wishes of its visitors. 2
