In Dresden, Germany, the student district Kunsthofpassage is home to the Funnel Wall, a building that plays an unusual melody on rainy days. Designed by artists Annette Paul, Christoph Roßner and André Tempel, this wall covered in funnels and gutters is one of the strangest and most unusual sights in Dresden’s student quarter in the New Town.
The facade of the building is in fact covered with curious gutters made of pipes and funnels shaped like musical instruments, rolled up and bent in such a way as to produce music as the water passes through them! In summer, when the rains are less frequent, not to disappoint the tourists, it comes made to flow the water inside the tubes of the Funnel Wall so to be able to recreate the magic atmosphere also with the clear sky and the shining sun. The Kunsthofpassage has become a kind of open-air gallery.
