Extension

The new extension cuts a wedge through the structural order of the arsenal. Thus, the museum provides a place for reflection about organized violence, it creates an objective view to the continuity of military conflicts and opens up vistas to the central anthropological questioning.

The new extension gives a fundamental re-orientation to the existing building. It opens up the view to the historical centre of Dresden.
The wedge soars above the roof of the existing building, visualizing the modernization to the outside world while offering the opportunity to experience the opening to the city.
