Probably my favorite work by Heneghan, the Museum Tonofenfabrik in Lahr, Germany was an old clay factory that has been redesigned into a museum about the city of Lahr (Heneghan Peng architects). What I love so much about this building is the juxtaposition to all of the buildings around it. Especially since it is still connected to part of the clay factory, I feel that walking through the museum would lend itself to the feeling of walking back in time and then returning back to your current era. I am a sucker for minimalistic buildings with clean lines and sleek figures and this building does it perfectly. It is a relatively common shape, lending itself to looking like a parking garage or staircase, but it is done so elegantly that it becomes its own creature. A seemingly otherworldly figure surrounded by its ancestors from an earlier time.
