Architect and designers

The Hall of Science building was a striking piece of Expressionist architecture in it's day, but this article includes (from what I see) no information on who the architect(s), designers and engineering firms were. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.125.227.177 (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
