Transformer Station Thaerstrasse 26 10249 Berlin This transformer station in Berlin is part of a block concept with the switchyard from the Bewag on Eldenaer street Openings in the monolithic structure permit a view into the interior Despite the fact that the building has got a very distinct shape and colour, it relates to the height and proportions of its neighbouring buildings Project is not public! 1999 AssmannSalomon pkrajewski_pl http://wwwmimoaeu/users/denny/guides/berlin%202017%20friedl/ 2

Because Arno Brandlhuber's construction is not only pragmatically DIY - it's also gorgeous Reduced to the most basic elements, the design of this bare-bones space, built on the ruins of an abandoned real estate project, was governed by a tough-minded logic of simplicity Cheap, quick, rudimentary, and open, in the best sense This building is a retroactive manifesto for '90s-era hypercontextualism: Generated predominantly according to site-specific demands, it refuses to claim any one identity, effectively bewildering city agencies ad infinitum" Text by Jesko Fezer in Artforum Floor area/size 1-2010 900 m² Main designer, Artist Client Brandlhuber BOOM Markus Emde Mark Bain Arno Brandlhuber photo: Michael Reisch The gallery KOW Berlin is open from wednesday to sunday, 12:00-18:00 h web: http://wwwkow-berlininfo 032c workshop has no regular opening hours web: http://032ccom/workshop/ The rest of the building is not public U8 subway station "Rosenthaler Platz" http://wwwmimoaeu/users/denny/guides/berlin%202017%20friedl/ 6
Humboldt-Box Schlossplatz 1 10178 Berlin http://wwwhumboldt-boxcom The Humboldt-Box adds to the importance of the Museum Island in Berlin and enriches Berlin with another attraction Designed by a trio of architects - Krueger, Schuberth and Vandreike - the Humboldt-Box radiates a futuristic ease amidst the historic buildings in Berlin's centre Its architecture is to reflect the idea of temporariness With a stipulated period of eight years, presumably until 2019, it holds a temporary, exciting spot advertising in an innovative way the future Humboldt-Forum Berlin - as well as being an actual trademark for Berlin 2011 KSV Krüger Schuberth Vandreike pkrajewski_pl Monday to Sunday: 10:00-20:00 h http://wwwmimoaeu/users/denny/guides/berlin%202017%20friedl/ 7

Hamburger Hof Grosse Hamburger Strasse 17 10115 Berlin http://wwwhamburgerhofnet/ The Hamburger Hof complex presents itself today as a terrain genuinely grown and constantly re-combined by means of residential and commercial buildings over the last 200 year The only completely new building within the ensemble is a five-story construction abutting an existing fire wall On the top floor it protrudes widely into the retral adjacent park, while at the corner of the neighboring brick house shifting onto the old coffee roastery in respectful distance New fenestrations on the upper floors of the complex offer spectacular views onto this "pocket park" and the surrounding houses, while the historic courtyard is recast by the new layout explicitly implementing modern materials and shapes and yet retaining its vintage character as a semi-private space 2010, Interior architect NPS Tchoban Voss pkrajewski_pl http://wwwmimoaeu/users/denny/guides/berlin%202017%20friedl/ 10
