Opens in a Cascade of Trapezoidal Shapes, Like Shards of Glass
World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize 2008 award to Brenne Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH For the restoration of the ADGB Trade Union School (1928–1930) Bernau, Germany designed by Hannes Meyer and Hans Wittwer 1 2 This restoration highlights and emphasizes a particular approach to historic preservation that is perhaps the most sensible and intellectually satisfying today. Brenne Gesellschaft von Architekten is probably Germany’s most engaged and thoughtful restorer of classic Modern architecture. —Dietrich NeumaNN, JUROR Pre-restoration During the period in which the ADGB building was under East German control, it was impossible to find appropriate glass for repairs, so the light-filled glass corridor was obscured by a wooden parapet. Brenne Gesellschaft von Architekten restored the original materials and reintroduced the original bright red color of the steel framing. 3 Many of the building’s steel casement windows are highly articulated. The glass in the external staircase opens in a cascade of trapezoidal shapes, like shards of glass. 4 Despite Modernism’s influential place in our architectural heritage, many significant Modern buildings are endangered because of neglect, perceived obsolescence, inappropriate renovation, or even the imminent danger of demolition. In response to these threats, in 2006, the World Monuments Fund launched its Modernism at Risk Initiative with generous support from founding sponsor Knoll, Inc. The World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize was established as part of this initiative to demonstrate that Modern buildings can remain sustainable structures with vital futures. The Prize, which will be awarded biennially, recognizes innovative architectural and design solutions that preserve or enhance Modern landmarks and advances recognition of the special challenges of conserving Modern architecture.
