Museum of the 20th Century in Berlin, completed in 2015 for the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, features a harmonious blend of constraint and freedom, with innovative bronze perforated cladding and a landscape podium, enhancing its architectural dialogue with the Neue Nationalgalerie.
The proposal reconciled concepts of constraint zwang and freedom freiheit, extending the critical alignments of Mies van der Rohe’s Neue Nationalgalerie, transforming these embedded geometries with arcs in plan and section. In contrast to the abstract, rectilinear materiality of it’s neighbour, the proposal incorporated textural bronze perforated cladding and set the structure on a landscape podium.
