Art Museum Marl, Germany

Long and narrow like a tube, but solid and unmovable like a block of concrete - in between these two extremes stands the extension to the Marl town hall, designed by Bakema and van den Broek in 1958-62.

Their ponderous brutalism resounds through the massive walls of the extension, where the trees on the site have been made to leave their imprint. A relief art work signed by artist Lars Bergström.
