Jahrhunderts in Deutschland. Künstler wie Antonio Canova und Bertel Thorvaldsen, Johann Gottfried Schadow und Christian Daniel Rauch, Auguste Rodin oder Aristide Maillol sind mit wichtigen Werken in der Schausammlung der Alten Nationalgalerie vertreten. Unweit der Museumsinsel steht die Friedrichswerdersche Kirche von Karl Friedrich Schinkel, die von 1987 bis 2012 als Dependance der Nationalgalerie vor allem Werke der Berliner Bildhauerei zwischen 1800 und 1850 im Umkreis Schinkels präsentierte. Die Berliner Bildhauerschule besaß im 19. Jahrhundert deutsch­­landweite Bedeutung und reicht in ihren Ausläufern bis in die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts wuchs in der preußischen Hauptstadt eine erfolgreiche Generation von Bildhauern heran, die vor allem mit zwei Namen verbunden ist: Johann Gottfried Schadow und Christian Daniel Rauch. Sowohl Schadow (1764 bis 1850) als auch Rauch (1777 bis 1857) hatten sich nach ersten Berliner Lehrjahren in Rom ausgebildet, wo sie mit den dortigen antiken Bildwerken ebenso vertraut wurden wie mit den neuesten Strömungen der frühklassizistischen Bildhauerkunst. Anmut und Würde prägen die Porträtplastik dieser Zeit, die Since the end of the 18th century, a successful generation of sculptors vom Menschenbild der Aufklärung ebenso beeinflusst ist wie von der grew up in the Prussian capital, largely connected with two names: Antikenbegeisterung des deutschen Idealismus.

  • GREEN Museum Conference Booklet

    GREEN Museum Conference Booklet

    11.–12.04.2013 Berlin International Scientific Workshop Heritage Science and Sustainable Development for the Preservation of Art and Cultural Assets On the Way to the GREEN Museum Conference Booklet SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP The term "Green Museum" brings together conservation science with the sustainable development for the preservation of art and cultural heritage. This involves three closely related issues: firstly, the preservation and conservation, i.e. the widest possible extension of life expectancy for our cultural heritage; secondly, the economic and infrastructural conditions for it; and finally the ecological energy and resource issue (energy efficiency, carbon footprint). In the sustainability debate, these three aspects can only be considered and evaluated together. The 'Green Museum' is a museum that embraces the concept of sustainability in its program, its activities and its physical presence. Here conservation science programs share a particular responsibility. An important element of sustainable development in the field of museums and monuments is preventive conservation with all its elements, including the various challenges of climate, temperature and humidity, light, pollutants etc. The professional field of conservation and conservation science (Heritage Science*) has developed continuously since the foundation of the Rathgen Research Laboratory on the April 01st, 1888 as the first museum laboratory, especially in recent decades. Conservation research activities have to focus and need to develop modern concepts in interdisciplinary collaborations that are consistent with both the primacy of heritage conservation as well as environmental and financial desiderata. They must integrate all three dimensions of sustainability, ecology, economics and society in order to cope with the immense challenges of the future.

By comparing three East-Berlin films with three thematically and chronologically corresponding West-Berlin films, this thesis investigates how cinema corresponded to the changing concepts in modernist architecture on the two sides of the wall. Whereas a competition between two world powers is carried out on a semiotic field condensing cultural, social, technological, and economic achievements - the city - this thesis shows that the diverging styles of government were struggling with similar possibilities and limitations in shaping their sections of Berlin. As opposed to Cold War films, the spatial analyses of post-Wende films show striking divergences.

Roos was seemingly untried, immigrant architect of twenty-five probably son to an immigrant German cabinetmaker secured such major, far-flung commissions so soon after his arrival in England. These included The Deepdene, Bedgebury Park, Hadzor House, Shrubland Park and No. Carlton Gardens — in Surrey, Kent, Worcestershire, Suffolk and London respectively – which he ran in tandem in the second half of the s. These commissions bespeak of his arrival with, or even summons on account of, some architectural standing that has remained unplumbed until now. Whilst the answer to that conundrum may lie in the proposition that Roos was a pupil of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, there is first the need to outline his life as far as it can be discovered and also establish the extent of his work, much of which until now has been ascribed erroneously to others.
