Centre for Art and Media Technology (ZKM) in Karlsruhe
The rehabilitated inner-city munitions factory in which the centre is housed is an imposing classicistic structure built in 1918 with a reinforced concrete skeleton frame structure. A row of ten glass-covered halls 312 m long - the former machine shops - were linked by a north-south transport axis. A studio atmosphere was to be created in which interdisciplinary work could take place between artists, scientists and technicians on the one hand and different fields of art production on the other.
