5 Velodrom Landsberger Allee Berlin At the time of the competition in 1992, Berlin was hoping to be selected as the host city of the 2000 Olympic Games, eventually held in Sydney The Velodrom and nearby swimming pool were indeed realised, although in watered down versions, modified to serve as multi-functional facilities The site, covering ten hectares, is situated in the eastern part of Berlin, where the boundaries of three city districts intersect The Velodrom has multiple uses: cycling, athletics, tennis, sports education, horseracing, concerts, etc It can accommodate spectators Floor area/size m² Dominique Perrault City of Berlin, represented by OSB Sportstättenbauten GmbH pato 5

11 photo: Wolfram Popp Estrade-House Choriner Strasse Berlin Wolfram Popp built the seven-story Estrade-House on Choriner Straße in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg (ten apartments, two offices, one shop) with his own development company, at the same time refuting the well-established view that nothing new could be developed in residential architecture Each of the two apartments per floor, measuring 108 and 79 square metres respectively, consists of a main area and a service zone which runs the full depth of the unit The two are so sensitively correlated, both with one another as well as with the exterior, that the whole is a successful combination of spaciousness, comfort and privacy Two elements determine these relations First, there are the estrades - hence the name - which are elevated platforms, each 40cm high and 18m deep, running along the entire width of the apartment, at front and rear The second is the 'gill-wall', reaching though the entire depth of the unit, and separating the main room from the service area (text by Angelika Schnell) photo: Wolfram Popp Public access unknown!

13 Photonic Centre Carl-Scheele-Strasse Berlin The two buildings of the Photonic Centre are conceived as volumes with soft contours which create a strong identity within the existing rectilinear context and yet which do not challenge the gentle coherence of the site However, the sinuous forms of the buildings are at the same time a direct response to the requirements of the brief The laboratory building is a case study for the integration of architecture, construction and services It is built with an economical prefabricated concrete structure: the floor slabs are corrugated in section so that every point within the flexible plan can be serviced from above and below The plant rooms on the roof and in the basement are connected by risers along the central corridor The horizontal distribution is facilitated by prefabricated U-sections that span up to 10m, either to beams or directly through to the façade, where they are supported by paired columns The twin columns lend the external skin a certain depth and rhythm Public access unknown!
