Hans Dollgast - Kuppersmuhle museum

Hans Dollgast's sensitive interpretation and reconstruction of the of the bombed Altes Pinakothek museum in Munich after the second world war was led by an appreciation of the a rhythm created by repeated elements that form a building.  The architects reconstruction was based on a contemporary interpretation of the classical façade, by respecting its rhythm and proportions, but changing the material used the scarring of the bomb damage is clearly apparent.
