Description
Book Synopsis
The Neue Nationalgalerie on the Berlin Kulturforum is an architectural icon as well as the crowning conclusion of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's life work. An outstandingly successful and sensitive refurbishment and modernization project was carried out for the building's most significant overhaul since its opening in 1968. It complies with the requirements of a contemporary museum exhibition facility, as well as monument-preservation guidelines. David Chipperfield Architects developed the renovation concept under the motto of "As much Mies as possible."
This publication provides deep insight into the planning, execution, monument preservation, and restoration from the perspective of those involved. The exemplary handling of the historical fabric is presented in design documents and numerous large-format photographs that impressively illustrate the design stage, the construction site, and the refurbishment results.
With articles by David Chipperfield, Bernhard Furrer, Gunny Harboe, Joachim Jäger, Dirk Lohan, Fritz Neumeyer, Alexander Schwarz, Gerrit Wegener, and some 30 project managers
Review Quotes
"Die luftige Gestaltung der Dokumentation ist eine Augenweide und sehr lesefreundlich. Wer sich in Berlin die Neue Nationalgalerie ansehen möchte, sollte vorher unbedingt in diese Dokumentation hineinschauen oder sie am besten - trotz ihres nicht unerheblichen Gewichts - einpacken und mitnehmen. Für alle anderen bietet die vorliegende Dokumentation eine Fülle spannender Einblicke in die Überlegungen zur Sanierung der Neuen Nationalgalerie und interessante In-for-ma-tio-nen zur tatsächlichen Durch-führung der Grundinstandsetzung, deren Ergebnis trotz aller auch pandemiebedingten Hindernisse überaus gelungen ist." (akh.de, 09.2021)
"Das Buch zeigt auf, wie die Einscheibenverglasung ohne klobigere Rahmen ausgetauscht werden konnte, wie beleuchtungs-, klima- und brandschutztechnische Fragen gelöst wurden - bis zur Wiederherstellung des Skulpturengartens in den Außenanlagen. Wie Denkmalschutz und heutige Museumspraxis zusammenkommen. Kurz, eine Verneigung vor der minuziösen Arbeit aller Beteiligten, aber auch vor Mies selbst." (In BAUMEISTER, 10.2021)
