Aus U5 und U55 wird eine Linie: die neue U5. Entlang der Neubaustrecke entstehen drei neue U-Bahnhöfe: Berliner Rathaus (Rotes Rathaus), Museumsinsel und Unter den Linden, der künftige Kreuzungsbahnhof der Linien U5 und U6. Durch den Lückenschluss erhalten die großen Wohngebiete im Osten Berlins nach der Fertig- stellung eine umsteigefreie Verbindung zur historischen Innenstadt, zum Regierungsviertel und zum Hauptbahnhof, welche mit der neu- en U5 ebenfalls eine durchgehende Anbindung an das komplette U-Bahnnetz erhalten. Außerdem werden zahlreiche Wahrzeichen Berlins schnell und mit einer U-Bahnlinie erreichbar: vom Fernseh- turm über das Rote Rathaus, die Marienkirche und den Neptunbrun- nen, das Nikolaiviertel, die Museumsinsel und den Berliner Dom, das Humboldtforum, das Deutsche Historische Museum und die Staatsoper, die Humboldt-Universität und die Staatsbibliothek hin zum Brandenburger Tor – und das ist nur eine kleine Auswahl.

  • Le Corbusier in Berlin, 1958: the Universal and the Individual in the Unbuilt City
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.921 Le Corbusier in Berlin, 1958: the universal and the individual in the unbuilt city M. Oliveira Eskinazi Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Urbanismo, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Abstract: Among several urban plans designed for Berlin, we find Le Corbusier`s project for the Hauptstadt Berlin 1958 competition, which aimed at thinking the reconstruction of the city center destroyed in the II World War. Corbusier`s relation with Berlin dates back to 1910, when he arrives at the city to work at Peter Behrens` office. So, for him, the plan for Berlin was a rare opportunity to develop ideas about the city that provided one of the largest contributions to his urban design education, and also to develop ideas he formulated forty years before for Paris` center. Besides that, this project was developed almost simultaneously with CIAM`s crises and dissolution, which culminated in the 50`s with the consequent appearance of Team 10. At that moment Corbusier`s universalist approach to urbanism starts to be challenged by CIAM`s young generation, which had a critical approach towards the design methods inherited from the previous generation, associated with CIAM`s foundational moment. From the beginning of the 50`s on, this new generation balances the universalist ideals inherited from the previous generation with individualist ones they identified as necessary to face the new post war reality. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to analyse Corbusier’s design for Berlin and question whether he, at an already mature point of his career, was proposing a plan that answered only the questions that were important to CIAM and to the canonical principles of modern architecture, or if he had also addressed those that belonged to the new generation and Team 10`s agenda, both of them present in the debates of the moment, largely identified as a transitional period.

  • Berlin, Capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Is Located at the Heart of Europe and Also, After EU Enlargement in 2004, at the Centre of the European Community
    Berlin, Capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, is located at the heart of Europe and also, after EU enlargement in 2004, at the centre of the European Community. With about 3,400,000 inhabitants, Berlin is the largest City in Germany. It is 38 kilometres long and 45 kilometres wide and covers an area of 889 square kilometres. In the middle of the Brandenburg region, the city occupies the flatlands on the banks of the Havel and Spree rivers and is criss-crossed with numerous canals. BY AIRPLANE: You can fly to Berlin from 167 airports in 53 countries. Aircrafts operated by over 67 different airlines land in Berlin. If charter flights are included, that figure rises to 99. The largest of Berlin's three airports are Tegel and Schönefeld. Tegel continues to function as the gateway to western Europe. Most of the flights to eastern Europe and Asia are handled by Schönefeld. Airport Tegel (TXL) 13405 Berlin (Reinickendorf) Tegel is situated in north-west Berlin, approximately 8 km from the city-centre. The airport is located conveniently within Berlin, in ca. 15 minutes the western city centre can be reached. Apart from the buses 109 and 128 the bus X9 which leaves from the train station Zoologischer Garten connects the airport to the city centre, this bus stops only at the main subway stations, therefore the ride doesn't take long. There is also the JetExpressBus TXL which links the avenue Unter den Linden, in the eastern city centre, with the airport. The bus or undergound ticket costs € 2.10 (or € 2.60 for trips to the surroundings, zone ABC).
