Architectour

33 Articles component of Luxembourg’s heritage is its industrial heritage. The CNA 2 site in Dudelange is a fine example of the trans- formation of a former steelworks site. While Paul Bretz has designed a strong building, a solitary construction with perfect architectural mastery and poetic rigour, Claudine Kaell and Jim Clemes transformed the former water tower into an exhibition space, creating an architec- tural experience with wonderful subtle- ty and restraint. In a rural setting, HSA Heisbourg Strotz redeveloped the former mill and barn 3 in Olingen, paying close attention to the exterior landscape. In Differdange, witry & witry adopted an- other approach. The architects, winners of the competition organised by the commune, created a marked discrepancy, ensuring no room for confusion whatsoever between the redeveloped former Hôtel de Ville and its extension 4 , the architectural expression of which is clearly contemporary. This contrast-oriented approach was also central to the Domaine Alice Hartmann project by Dagli Atelier d’Architecture, with its clear and pure lines, playing on angularity and cast shadows, contrasting with its adjacent historic residence, com- pleted by gardens. The importance of the site While all architectural projects take into account their location, this aspect is sometimes more accentuated, as is the case, for example, of the ONEonONE 5 5.
