PUNIBACH HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION
-
The Punibach hydroelectric power station is conceived as a fracture in the landscape. Harmonically integrated in its surroundings, it suddenly brakes it open and reveals the machines in its interior, which serve to transform natural powers into useful energy.
The concrete slab rammed into the ground separates the smooth hilly landscape and the raw building structure made out of natural, earth coloured materials.
By night the appearance changes radically. Whilst the landscape disappears in the darkness, the power station glows through the lamellar façade and presents itself as a landmark to the viewers over the road.
