Smoke And Mirrors eBook

The Yenidze Cigarette Factory of 1909 was constructed as an industrial, architectural object that advertised Dresden as a center for the tobacco trade. Born from a unique client-architect relationship between Hugo Zietz and Martin Hammitzsch, the factorys importance to modernism has been understated. Smoke and Mirrors uncovers the history of the factorys planning, design, and construction, and for the first time, apart from the buildings historical narrative, positions this addition to Dresdens skyline within the formative histories of the modern movement.
