The building that once housed the Imperial Insurance Agency is just as much a part of the WZB as the pink-and-blue stripes of the 1988 extensions by James Stirling, Michael Wilford & Associates. Old and young belong together. As spring arrives, tables appear in the court- yard, people eat together and talk, and new ideas emerge. L ittle children accompanied by their fathers and mothers during parental leave are an increasingly frequent sight. Why shouldn’t the family come to work now and then? After all, work comes home often enough. We recently asked a young man who was soon to become a father how much parental leave he would take. “Oh,” he told us, “the same amount of time people usually take for it at the WZB: six months.” That is how research on work, family, institutions, social policy, and the life courses of individuals is translated into daily practice. This WZB annual report reveals the WZB as an institution brimming with life and energy. Alongside the familiar faces are many new ones. Long- and short-term projects run side by side. New methods are tried out, unusual perspectives ad- opted. The WZB is thriving—and needs more space. James Stirling and his team could not construct one of the buildings as high as they had originally intended. The remaining floors will now be added. For the WZB the consent of the sharehold- ers for this investment is a vote of confidence for which we are very grateful. We look forward to the next sets of scaffold- ing, which on this occasion will bring about something new.
