Archistories: Water Towers

_DSF8020

Water towers are one of the most interesting architectural wonders in Germany, they are everywhere from tight city enclaves to large industrial areas. The many variations of German water towers have been well documented by the photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher. Two early water towers are offered by Archistories: Sanders-art and Bw Torrnstein.  Whether you model in American or European prototypes one or both of these water towers will find a suitable home. Supplying water to industry or home water towers are everywhere in Germany. Bw Torrnstein build tips: careful to align stepped ladder with opening in catwalk and don’t forget to install all parts of superstructure. Sanders-art includes real wood for timbers which need extra gluing time than paper, keep pressure on timbers until glue has set otherwise they may slide away from roof. Even these small buildings require similar lengths of time for assembly but a Saturday afternoon should be sufficient.
