Rationale: Why is this case interesting?

Please explain in short why this site has green infrastructure potential and what makes it special (150 words approx)


Kurt Bärbig Hall, named after the architect, is an iconic building of Dresden's past, abandoned and waiting for investments, in the present. As the poster near the entrance says, the 12,000 square meters building was "was designed acording to functional principles and defines the space in the street with its curved facade." Was intended as a food production facility, stopped by the 1920's World Economic Crisis. Now the building is near the 'City Park Powder Mill' (Pulvermühle Stadtpark) which is part of the Green Corridor project along the Weißeritz river. Green Infrastructure techniques were planned for the Green Corridor without taking in consideration the dominant factory building of the site in the west of Dresden (Frederich City). This site has a big potential for Green Infrastructure planning, having the history as a background, long term GI planning nearby, so it can be reintegrated in the city's scale of importance through functional and aesthetical principles.
