Monumento al Holocausto
Peter Eisenman (arquitecto) Buro Happold (ingeniero). 2003-2004. El punto de información es obra del diseñador berlinés de exposiciones Dagmar von Wilcken. Tras un primer concurso de ideas, en 1994, el proyecto de Peter Eisenman resultó ganador en 1997.
Una gran manzana irregular de 19.000 m2, con superficie ondulada, sirve de base a una cuadricula en la que se sitúan 2711 estelas o monolitos de hormigón de 2.38 m de largo y 0.95 m de ancho, con altura variable desde los 0.2 m a los 4.8 m, diseñadas para producir una atmósfera incómoda y confusa, en una ordenación al margen de la razón, produciendo un singular laberinto ortogonal. Cuenta con un subterráneo anexo, denominado punto de información, donde se recoge la historia de las víctimas del holocausto.

Deutscher Werkbund Yearbook
In 1907 The Deutscher Werkbund was founded as an organisation that was to bind together both designer and manufacturer. Among the founding member designers were Richard Riemerschmid, Peter Behrens, Josef maria Olbrich and Bruno Paul, but also included were a number of manufacturers such as Poeschel & Trepte and Peter Bruckmann & Sohne.
In 1912 the Werkbund started to publish a yearbook which included a list of addresses and specialisations of its members.
Gropius published an article about "The Development of Industrial Buildings," which included about a dozen photographs of factories and grain elevators in North America, in this yearbook. A very influential text, this article had a strong influence on other European modernists, including Le Corbusier.
He wrote that so far art had been lacking an intellectual ideal of such general validity, so that artists had been unable to go beyond egocentric creation. Gropius also demands that technical constructions are imbued with a sense of artistic or even poetic density and that all details should be united into a whole which made it the symbolic expression of the inner meaning of modern constructions such as "cars, trains, steamships, aeroplanes ..."
The start of the twentieth century consumer explosion meant that the only way that supply could meet demand was through the standardisation and mass production of products.
In 1924 the Werkbund published 'Form ohne Ornament' (Form without Function). This milestone publication praised industrially produced design work which showed brutally plain surfaces lacking in any form of ornamentation or decoration. The road was set irreversibly towards Functionalism.
Finally The Deutscher Werkbund was closed down in 1934 by the Nazis.

David Chipperfield Architects
The gallery Am Kupfergraben 10 is located on the Kupfergraben canal, overlooking the Lustgarten and the Museum Island. The intention was to build a modern building which incorporated but did not replicate the past. As part of the cityscape, the composition of the four-storey gallery building reacts to its immediate historic context, while the scale of its window openings reflects the urban dimensions of a corner building.
As an urban infill, the new building connects with both of its neighbouring buildings with regard to their respective building heights and occupies the footprint of the preceding building (destroyed in the war), while at the same time developing its own sculptural quality. The facades are of brick masonry on reconstituted stone courses with no visible expansion joints, using salvaged bricks pointed with slurry. Large window openings reflect the urban scale of the site and define the composition of the facade, given structure by their untreated wooden sashes.
While solid materials that will age well characterise the exterior, the interior is defined by daylight and proportion. The building cores organise the space of the 5.5 metre high rooms. The simple floor plan varies throughout the four storeys depending on the form of the volume and the placement of the window openings. The gallery spaces are side lit from different directions, and daylight is controlled by interior folding shutters. The intention was to create a series of well proportioned and well lit rooms for living, working, or showing art – in a townhouse dedicated to the arts and directly related to the cultural heart of the city. The gallery was opened in November 2007.
