Transformtaion of a former shipyard building. The conversion of the dilapidated main building of the former shipyard into a real ruin underlines the romantic atmosphere of the disused industrial site by an architectural and artistic re-appropriation. The ruin form was developed based on models and transferred to the building 1:1 before defining the fragments. The geometric shape of the lawn is reminiscent of paths that have been cut through a thicket of bushes. The meticulous contours of the lawn form the counterpart to the seemingly wild planting which is characterized by perennials, grasses and trees such as birch and staghorn sumac.
