From factory to Kunsthall:Petra Gipp Arkitektur

in the designer's words, from archdaily
"In the landmarked industrial building, dating from the last turn of century, there are imprints of different eras. It can be compared to an archive – layers of time. The building has served as ammunition factory, paint factory and presently as kunsthalle for contemporary art and architecture.


The visitor is lead through a narrow alley with the light from above shining down towards the water. The walkway runs close to the kunsthalle as it passes the entire building, to then be invited into the dark stairway and the vast pillar hall."

Ground floor, first and second floor plans, along with further description and images can be found at archdaily.
