How many floors does it actually have? To mark the project in its meaning of utilisation, the typology of the fortress was chosen In urban context, it is a counterpart to the National Maritime Museum and thus forms the beginning and the end of a spatial urban sequence photo: Wansleben-Architekten Project is not public!
