Town hall, Salem

The Spanish architecture studio won the European-wide architecture competition to design the town hall in the new center of the town of Salem. The design featured a simply cube clinkered with red brick. The new town hall, office of records, town council and library are accommodated behind the subtly structured and well-proportioned facades.

Outstanding features are the council hall, which juts out over the cube and the enormous clock, a reference to a longstanding tradition of European town halls telling citizens what the time is. Photo: Anja Koehler
