From the architect's notes
The Augusta Victoria project occupied our office for many years. Kaiser Wilhelm's Festive Hall was reconstructed room by room, the Auxiliary Building (Nebengebäude) re-engineered with new concrete beams, and the great façade stonework re-cut on site.
The bell-tower work was done in the company of Mayor Teddy Kollek and Propst Friedrich. The compound — a rare survivor of pre-mandate Jerusalem — required architecture that respected the original masonry while quietly modernising structure and use.
