3 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 m² Main designer, Interior architect Services engineer Cooperating designer Lighting designer Project manager Supplier OMA - Rem Koolhaas Inside Outside Huygen Elwako Inside Outside OVI, Washinton DC Royal Haskoning Lensvelt Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs MI_MOA 3

10 photo: Werner Huthmacher Hausburgviertel Gymnasium Otto-Ostrowski-Strasse Berlin In 19th-century Prussian industrial architecture, brick was the dominant material, and its red colour ensured that the halls of Berlin's main slaughterhouse complex were visible from afar Many structures on the site have now been demolished and the surviving listed buildings are being integrated into a new mixed-use quarter The former cattle hall, for example, has been converted into this gymnasium Compared with the original brick structure, the neo-modern cube of the new sports hall stands out clearly, dominated on the outside by horizontal wooden slats, made of larch The light falling through the slats into the interior creates a striking effect: the roof construction, spanning the hall in a single unsupported slab with integrated skylights and acoustic elements, appears to float The pine load-bearing structure is trussed with steel tie rods fixed in the centre of the hall by V-shaped brackets photo: Werner Huthmacher 2006 Structural engineer Chestnutt Niess s Eisenloffel, Sattler & Partners Federal State of Berlin Christian_Welzbacher S-Bahn stations 'Landsberger Allee' and 'Storkower Strasse' are nearby 10
