Gaskessel, Cultural center in Bern, Switzerland.
The Gaskessel consists of two spherical domes constructed from steel and brick, standing next to the Aare River in the former gas industrial area.
Originally built as gas storage tanks for the city of Bern, the structure transformed into a youth and cultural center during the early 1970s social movements.
The venue hosts numerous events throughout the year, including concerts, theater performances, film screenings, exhibitions, and discussions organized by local youth groups.
Up to 200 young volunteers manage and operate the facility, offering opportunities in areas such as bar service, technical support, event planning, and gastronomy.
The building undergoes continuous architectural modifications to accommodate changing visitor requirements while maintaining its industrial character near the riverbank.
