3 photo: Anna Armstrong photo: Anna Armstrong Unité d'habitation Berlin Flatowallee Berlin Le Corbusier designed several variations of the Unité d Habitation, the most famous of which is in Marseille, France All were derived from Le Corbusier s visionary 1922 city plan, known as Ville Contemporaine The plan envisioned massive residential blocks set in open green areas towers in parks, bringing light and air to the residents of urban housing The Unité type was most notable for its creation of internal streets and accommodation of social and communal functions: kindergartens, medical facilities, recreational spaces, all within the housing block The Berlin Unité lacks most of the amenities (save a shop and a post office on the ground floor), but is considered unique for its more generously-sized apartments It accommodates 530 units on 17 floors The internal streets here are oppressive, windowless corridors Still, the building is in quite good condition; its hilltop setting, iconic formal qualities, and polychromatic façades are very striking (text from Galinskycom) Public access unknown! 1957 Le Corbusier jeooren photo: Anna Armstrong 3

13 photo: Thomas Bögl photo: Nazar Leskiw Quartier Schützenstrasse Schützenstrasse Berlin Quartier Schützenstrasse consists of a classical Friedrichstadt block defined by the Schützenstrasse, Markgrafenstrasse, Zimmerstrasse, and Charlottenstrasse Aldo Rossi s used the historical urban structure of the division of land into small plots as his concept for Quartier Schützenstrasse The individualized houses signal individual plots but the total number of façades exceeds the number of houses standing independently of each other While two of the buildings are reserved exclusively for residential apartments the rest provide for a mixture of residential and commercial use The plan, inspired by the building blocks of 19th century Berlin, is organized around two large and two small interior courtyards that fill the block with light The Quartier Schützenstrasse is a collage of icons and archetypes with several obvious references to other Rossi buildings as well as historical references (text from wwwarcspacecom) photo: Nazar Leskiw Public access unknown! 1998 Aldo Rossi Thomas_Boegl 13

14 photo: Dirk Verwoerd photo: Dirk Verwoerd Ludwig Erhaud Haus Fasanenstrasse Berlin The Ludwig Erhard Haus is a unusual and futuristic building located in the borough of Charlottenburg The long building complex which consists of three main parts is connected with atria made of glass The spectacular look of the building - fifteen tremendous arches create the building's signature ribbed structure - which is called "Gürteltier" (armadillo) is characterized by the combination of glass and steel The individual hung-from-arches form was derived from a logical exploration of how to enclose the maximum possible building volume, while following Berlin's very prescriptive building regulations to the letter Traditional parapets set 22m above the local streets govern the height of any new structures in the district, while the desks of workers in prime office accommodation have to be within 7m of a naturally lit window The elliptical rib cage structure enabled the building to meet the regulations, while creating a distinctive and very open public area at its heart photo: Dirk Verwoerd Floor area/size m² Client Grimshaw Berlin Chamber of Commerce dirkverwoerd S-Bahn: Zoologischer Garten (S3, S5, S7, S75) U-Bahn: Zoologischer Garten (U2, U9) Bus: M46, X9, X10, X34, 100,109,110, 200, 204, 245, 249 Regionalexpress: Zoologischer Garten RE1, RE2, RE7, RB

23 photo: Brighdino photo: João Sousa Wohnhaus Schlesisches Tor Schlesische Straße Berlin International recognition came to Siza in 1980 with his design of the Schlesisches Tor (Bonjour Tristesse), a large public housing block in Berlin Many have read this project, Siza's first to be built abroad, as the embodiment of the "contextual" qualities of his architecture, seeing proof of Siza's trademark sensitivity to his surroundings in the rhythms of the windows, in the apartment block's evocation of the street's curve, and in the slit between the new and old buildings I prefer to see it as a mirror of the melancholia of urban life Now known by the name Bonjour Tristesse scrawled clandestinely on its facade, the Schlesisches Tor - with its outer wall of identically sized windows - is animated only by the abstract evocation of a horizontal line, broken by a small dip as the building encounters the sky - ruefully reminds us that architecture is not, after all, always a joyful reflection of contemporary living Project is not public!

25 Netherlands Embassy Klosterstrasse Berlin The new Dutch embassy is located in the Berlin-Mitte district, the earliest heart of the German capital, in-between the River Spree and the omnipresent TV tower on Alexanderplatz In 2005 OMA won the Mies van der Rohe Award for the Netherlands Embassy in Berlin: The jury felt that the embassy was a powerful reconceptualization of the notion of an embassy, a government agency, and a building block within a city OMA's refusal to either adapt to the city grid or create a monument, choosing instead to create a carefully formed fragment that leaves open the question of what the identity of a government or a country should be, was much appreciated It was also felt that the spiraling trajectory that winds its metal-clad way through the whole block while allowing carefully framed views of the neighbouring city, produced such a seductive series of spaces carried out with such a sophistication of materials and visual effects and so revealing of its context, that it should receive the prize Floor area/size m² Main designer, Interior architect Services engineer Cooperating designer Lighting designer Project manager Supplier Client OMA - Rem Koolhaas Inside Outside Huygen Elwako Inside Outside OVI, Washinton DC Royal Haskoning Lensvelt Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs MI_MOA 25
