scharfenberger straße // dresden übigau

montagehalle

i grew up with the sight of the transformer factory, and every time i visit dresden i see the hall first from afar and then from close by, and somehow i also know this sign of permanence because i am back in my old neighbourhood. the hall has always been a special building for me. powerful but still filigree thanks to the design of the window strips and supporting struts.
