Historical Background of Aubette 1928

The history of the Aubette 1928 begins with the neoclassical building designed by Jacques-François Blondel starting in 1765 as part of the Place Kléber ensemble in Strasbourg. By the 1920s, the space was transformed into an *avant-garde leisure complex* by artists Theo van Doesburg, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, and Jean Arp. Although later alterations obscured these designs, a meticulous reconstruction effort restored these immersive interiors, allowing them to reopen to the public in 2006.

    1926-2006Milestone

    Theo van Doesburg, Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Jean Arp redesigned the entertainment rooms in 1926–1928 as an immersive union of colour, geometry, movement and architecture. Later alterations destroyed much of the scheme; key rooms were reconstructed and reopened in 2006.
