the wooden dragon (der hölzerne Drache) is a two years project for the OSTRALE, Centrum for contemporary Art in the former Slaughterhouse of Dresden,well known from the book of Kurt Vonnegut, „Slaughterhouse five“, consisting from a dragonhead (Drachenkopf), the entrance pavillion of the exhibition terrain, and a meadow-ramp (die wiesenrampe), a 90m long ramp leading up the visitors to the first floor of the exhibition buildings. With this ramp disabled people can visit the first floor of the yearly exhibition, while the entrance pavillion serves as new landmark in the slaughterhouse landscape and hosts the ticket office of OSTRALE.

The idea of a huge sleeping dragon in the depth of the ground underneath the slaughterhouse, awakening and coming partly outside imprints the entire work and is formally followed with the dragonhead as entrance pavillion and the dragon body as the wooden ramp, both buildings partially covered with a blossoming lawn leading up and following the visitor along the winding way.

The old building remained untouched while becoming new life with the art center and the contemporary art exposed in it, „healing“ with new positive energy a place where sorrow and hard work were the rules.

By the execution of the wooden dragon werde involved different atelier for disabled people and groups of unemployed persons from Belgium and Germany, making possible a real inclusive work together.

Using wood as main material and covering the roof of the entrance building with lawn has a positive effect on the carbon footprint of the project, making possible to save over 40t CO2.
