Pioneering Industrial Architecture.
The situation and construction of Birsfelden hydropower plant were the subject of numerous studies. In 1947, a project was submitted that suited all the parties involved. Based on this project, Hans Hofmann drafted the hydropower plant building and shipping facilities.   He came up with a design that marked a turning point in industrial architecture – and which still delights visitors and passers-by even today.
