The aim of all of the study tours is to explore the architecture and design cultures of the places – countries, regions, cities – we go to. We take an interest in understanding where they come from and how they have developed. We take an interest in the relation between history and the present, between landscapes and cities, and how these may relate to the architecture and design culture of a given place – by which we mean the somewhat coordinated system of knowledge, rules, procedures, and habits that surround the design process in a given place and time. The primary aim of the Berlin tour is to add on to this general ambition by exposing students to a metropolis on a European scale. Berlin is a city with a long, deep and at times troubled history that has left the city as a permanent building site. New architecture and design and historical sites and remains sit side by side. We want to explore this and in particular focus on: The Culture: • Getting an insight into a substantial European culture – both its present and its historic elements The City: • Exploring the many traces of historical planning ideals Berlin continues to be structured by The Design: • Visiting both contemporary and historic sites and buildings – both by German and by international architects and designer. Berlin has always attracted both artists and entrepreneurs and continues today to be at heart of the German culture. The study tour to Berlin adds a big city experience to student’s exploration of the architecture and design cultures of Northern Europe. 5 DIS Architecture + Design CPH Spring 2017 WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 08 08:55 Meet at Copenhagen Airport, 16:30 Depart for dinner via Terminal 2, by the 7/11 shop U-Bahn (U8-U2) Check-in with tour leaders before checking-in independently using your 17:00 Group Dinner: passports.

The memorial consists of the Monument in Memory of the Divided City and the Victims of Communist Tyranny as well as the Window of Remembrance. The grounds also include the Chapel of Reconciliation and the excavated foundations of a former apartment building whose façade functioned as the border wall until the early eighties. 8 DIS Architecture + Design CPH Spring 2017 BERLIN PHILHARMONIE Herbert von Karajan Str. 1 Architect, Interior: Hans Scharoun (1960-1963) For the Berlin Philharmonic, the built form establishes a balance and harmony with the music contained within. In the main auditorium, the stage is located at the center of the hall with the seating arranged around the stage through a series of offset terraces that were positioned for optimal acoustic performance. In section, the auditorium appears as a concave fish bowl that projects the music in every direction. 9 DIS Architecture + Design CPH Spring 2017 THURSDAY FEBRUARY 09 REMEMBER YOUR PASSPORT! 08:00 Breakfast at hostel 13:30 Depart for group visits by public transport 09:15 Meet in hostel lobby to depart by public transportation 14:00 Neue Wache Memorial to WWII Victims 10:00 Group visit: Unter den Linden Nordic Embassies Kongelig Dansk Ambassade Continue walk to Neues Rauchstrasse 1 Museum 10787 Berlin Tel: +49 (30) 5050 2201 15:00 Group visit: Neues Museum Closest U-Bahn: Nollendorfplatz (U2) (Architect Chipperfield) Bodestraße 1-3 11:00 Group lunch: 10785 Berlin Felleshus Embassy Canteen Germany DIS to provide cash Tel: +49 30 266424242 12:00 Depart for Bauhaus Achieve on foot . 16:30 Afternoon + evening on own for optional sites 12:30 Group Visit: Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design in Berlin Klingelhöferstraße 14 Berlin 10 DIS Architecture + Design CPH Spring 2017 THURSDAY MAP HOSTEL NEUES MUSEUM NEUE WACHE NORDIC EMBASSIES BAUHAUS ARCHIVE 11 DIS Architecture + Design CPH Spring 2017 NORDIC EMBASSIES COMPLEX Rauchstrasse 1 Architect: Berger and Parkkinen 1999 The building comprises 6 individual buildings enveloped by a green, copper clad, snaking wall. Of the six buildings, five are the embassies of Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland, arranged geographically. The remaining building is a communal building called Felleshuset, which includes the entrance to the complex, an auditorium, and a canteen. Through a process of cutting the block, six volumes were isolated. The copper band ties the building mass together in an autonomous complex and refers to the Scandinavian landscape while establishing a dialogue with the Tiergarten Park. 4 3 2 5 1 1 Denmark 3XN 2 Iceland PK Hönun 3 Norway Snøhetta 4 Sweden Wingårdh Arkitektkontor 5 Finland Viiva Arkkitehtuuri Oy 6 Felleshuset Berger and Parkkinen 12 DIS Architecture + Design CPH Spring 2017 NORDIC EMBASSIES, DANISH EMBASSY Rauchstrasse 1 Architect: 3XN, 1999 A glass-roofed atrium forms the heart of the embassy building. It is flanked by two different building wings, one of which is an organically formed structure, running parallel to the wave-like copper band. Thus, the wave form is also apparent in the atrium of the embassy. Elegant curved wooden lamellas add to the warm character of the organic form. The second building wing opposite is an angular prism. A stairway runs up in a straight line along its long side. Several bridges cross the relatively narrow atrium, thus connecting the two parts of the building. A concrete rectangular unit extends up under the glass roof; it contains elevators and common rooms of the different departments. The tall, slender form of the concrete rectangle structure underscores the height of the atrium. Toward the common plaza of the Nordic Embassies, the building is almost completely covered with perforated stainless steel panels. These provide protection from the sun and appear amazingly transparent. They give the embassy a harmonious, unified appearance. 13 DIS Architecture + Design CPH Spring 2017 BAUHAUS ARCHIVE Klingenhöferstr 14 Architect: Walter Gropius (1971-79) The archive is concerned with the research and presentation of the history and impact of the Bauhaus (1919-33). It is the most complete existing collection focused on the school. In December 1979, the collection, open to public view for the first time, was positively reviewed by the press. Max Bill, however, spoke of it as a “screwed- up old man’s design”. Today, the growing numbers of visitors evince a more favorable opinion: the distinctive silhouette of the building has become a characteristic city sight, whereas the unpretentious inside of the museum gains praise. 14 DIS Architecture + Design CPH Spring 2017 NEUE WACHE Unter den Linden 4 Architect: Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1816), Heinrich Tessenow (1931) Neue Wache (New Guard Hause) was originally built for the troops of the Crown Prince of Prussia.

During the 1920s, Berlin flourished as centre of modern culture. Yet this flourishing did not exist exclusively amongst the intellectual elites that occupied the city centre and affluent western suburbs. It also extended into the proletarian districts to the north and east of the city. Within these areas existed a complex urban landscape that was rich with cultural tradition and artistic expression. This thesis seeks to redress the bias towards the centre of Berlin and its recognised cultural currents, by exploring the art and architecture found in the city’s working-class districts.

The large number of leading insti- tutions, creative communities, international figures and organizations based in Berlin have made the city the “place to be” for the contemporary arts at both a national and international level. Interest in Berlin and the city’s cultural policies continues to grow in Germany and abroad. The present report offers an overview of the various cultural funding programmes in Berlin to both interested visitors and citizens of this lively metropolis. This concise report offers insights into the core aspects of cultural funding in Berlin. Constant change is a defining feature of Berlin’s cultural landscape, and painting a complete picture of this constantly evolving artistic and cultural metropolis with its diverse cast of organizations, communities, individuals and locations is, perhaps, an impossible undertaking. Given these circumstances, the report endeavours to provide an overview of the major frameworks rather than an exhaustive account of the countless cultural funding programmes in Berlin. Further information on institutions which receive funding through our programmes is available in the appendix to this report, and on the Cultural Affairs website as noted within the text.

  • Zeus in Exile: Archaeological Restitution As Politics of Memory
    Working Paper Series, 13 Zeus in Exile: Archaeological Restitution as Politics of Memory S.M. Can Bilsel Working Paper #13, Fall 2000 Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies [email protected] (609) 258-5180) The Zeus Altar of Pergamon in Berlin Overshadowed by the debates on the Holocaust Memorial or the fate of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of archaeological collections in Berlin nevertheless poses an international problem. The question is, in a way, analogous to the current sensibilities about the future of memory, as it was called by a recent conference at Princeton University. How will the past will be framed and commemorated in a reunified Germany; what constitutes the cultural heritage of the new Berlin Republic? As Berlin assumes the role of the capital, both official and popular approaches to memory of the recent past gain a vital importance. Curiously, an internationally recognized effort on the part of the federal government to commemorate the victims of the Nazi regime goes hand in hand with a systematic repression of the more recent East German past. As the American-style malls and corporate headquarters of the Postdamer Platz, once the busiest center of Europe, celebrate the victors of the Cold War, the institutions of the East German Republic are being erased from the city. New Berlin will be a city of memory, as evident in its memorials and museums. Yet it will also remain a site of amnesia and forgetting. This paper will discuss Berlin’s contested Zeus Altar and its role as a collectively negotiated construct of memory.

    Inclusive National Belonging Intercultural Performances in the “World-Open” Germany Bruce Snedegar Burnside Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Bruce Snedegar Burnside All Rights Reserved Abstract Inclusive National Belonging Intercultural Performances in the “World-Open” Germany Bruce Snedegar Burnside This dissertation explores what it means to belong in Berlin and Germany following a significant change in the citizenship laws in 2000, which legally reoriented the law away from a “German” legal identity rooted in blood-descent belonging to a more territorially-based conception. The primary goal is to understand attempts at performing inclusive belonging by the state and other actors, with mostly those of “foreign heritage” at the center, and these attempts’ pitfalls, opportunities, challenges, and strange encounters. It presents qualitative case studies to draw attention to interculturality and its related concepts as they manifest in a variety of contexts. This study presents a performance analysis of a ceremony at a major national museum project and utilizes a discursive analysis of the national and international media surrounding a unique controversy about soccer and Islam. The study moves to a peripheral neighborhood in Berlin and a marginal subject, a migration background Gymnasium student, who featured prominently in an expose about failing schools, using interviews and a text analysis to present competing narratives. Finally it examines the intimate, local view of a self-described “intercultural” after- school center aimed at migration-background girls, drawing extensively on ethnographic interviews and media generated by the girls.These qualitative encounters help illuminate how an abstract and often vague set of concepts within the intercultural paradigm becomes tactile when encountering those for whom it was intended.
