Details
The water tower of the Völklinger Hütte was transformed by Duncan McCauley to serve as the new entrance to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. An orchestrated promenade architecturale guides visitors through the monumental structure with framed views, thresholds, and spatial sequences. The route offers a unique, sensorial journey through the living legacy of industrial architecture.
