Salt storage„This building represents the ATTITUDE taken by a building in front of an industrial cityscape. Attitude meaning:
The fact of dignifying the industrial architecture.
The fact of creating a transparent architecture as a democratic human effect. The fact of saying factories are architecture, which follows the best Peter Behrens’ tradition.
The fact of generating iconic architecture in the best sense of the word.
Congratulations to the fact of acting as an architect by planting a seed everywhere, because everywhere it is needed.“
Commentary from the Jury of Prix luxembourgeois de l’Architecture 2007, who awarded the Salzlagerhalle with the Golden Award in the Catégorie Urbanisme, Aménagement d’espaces publics.
