The Yenidze Cigarette Factory of 1909 became perceived as an industrial architectural advertising object that placed Dresden as an important center for the tobacco trade during the second half of the nineteenth century. Born from a unique client-architect relationship between Hugo Zietz and Martin Hammitzch, the factory's importance to the modernist has been extremely understated. Smoke and Mirrors uncovers the history of the factory's planning, design and construction, and for the first time, apart from the building's historical narrative, places the addition to the Dresden skyline as consideration to the formative histories of the modernist movement.
