Sayne Foundry Carl Ludwig Althans Licht Kunst Licht

摘要

Bendorf, a rhine river city north of Koblenz, Germany, and a former center of mining and ironwork, acquired the derelict Sayn Iron Works Foundry in 2004 to repurpose it as a cultural attraction and an event space. A cutting-edge industrial building celebrated for its inventive design when it was built in 1830, the intricate structure is now illuminated by sensitively integrated LEDs that allow for contemporary use and lend an enchanting nocturnal appeal. "We wanted to use modern technology to bring the old foundry back to life," says Werner Prumm, who oversees the city's economic development.
