A new entrance to the Pergamon Museum in Berlin

David Chipperfield

Berlin / 2007

Civic use at historical context

Part of the renovation of the museum island in Berlin has commissioned a new entrance to the Pergamon museum, where the Egyptian artifacts are exhibited. The master architect has created a contemporary building using the proportions and vocabulary of classic architecture. We worked in an isolated team, due to the secret character of the project.

My role was to build 1:25 models and be present at the work sessions with the founder and partners to adapt the models. The building is fully functional and can be visited today.
