When we look at this building we tend to think it was constructed with local materials since it is relatively old (build 1884–1894). But it was build with materials from Croatia (Limestone), Poland (Sandstone and Granite) and Germany. What made it a great example of globalization on buildings was the reform that introduced the 'Kuppel'. It was a international contest and people from all over the world could submit their projects, a thing that could not be imagined some decades ago. [1]: http://s27.postimg.org/fnkg7ztn6/IMG_0322.jpg
