Warmest regards, Margot Levin Schiff Trip Host Sustaining Fellows Travel Committee Chair TRIP HIGHLIGHTS BERLIN • Visit the Museum Berggruen and the Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection for curator-led tours. The Heinz Berggruen collection is one of Berlin’s most popular modern art galleries and features works by Picasso, Klee, Matisse, Braque, and Giacometti, while the Scharf- Gerstenberg is among the strongest collections of Surrealism in Europe. • Explore Museum Island: • Enjoy a curator-led tour of the Pergamon Museum, the most visited museum in Germany. Famous throughout the world for its collection of impressive reconstructions of massive archaeological structures, the Pergamon Museum includes the Pergamon Altar, the Market Gate of Miletus, the Ishtar Gate and Processional Way from Babylon, the Mshatta Façade, and the Aleppo Room, among countless other highlights. • Immerse yourself in the Neues Museum, which showcases cultural history from across the globe. The museum’s holdings include more than 9,000 objects from three major historical collections and are housed in an acclaimed building recently redesigned by David Chipperfield. Adjacent to the museum, tour Chipperfield’s newly opened James Simon Gallery as well. • Visit the Alte Nationalgalerie, whose collection boasts an impressive array of Romantic and Impressionist masterpieces, as well as a world-class collection of works by Adolph Menzel. • Take a private tour of the Martin-Gropius-Bau. This visual treasure is one of Europe’s most important exhibition venues and displays some of the best international traveling exhibitions of art and photography. Paul Klee.

From critically acclaimed Volt and Michelin-starred Horvath to Borchardt on Berlin’s famous Gendarmenmarkt, travelers will enjoy the finest dining experiences Berlin has to offer. DESSAU • Take a day trip outside Berlin to tour the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and Dessau Masters’ Houses. Parallel to the Bauhaus Building, the city of Dessau commissioned Walter Gropius to construct three pairs of identical semi-detached houses for the Bauhaus masters. The list of former residents reads like a who’s who of modernists, including László Moholy-Nagy, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee, along with their families. BERLIN GALLERY WEEKEND • Close out the trip with a bang at Berlin Gallery Weekend. Started in 2004 by Berlin galleries as a private initiative, it is now one of the leading contemporary art events in Germany.

  • Urban-River-Swimming As Spatial Appropriation in the Spree Canal in Central Berlin
    Graduate Journal for the Study of Culture // No. 3 - 2nd Series // February 2021 Swimming in the City: Urban-River-Swimming as Spatial Appropriation in the Spree Canal in Central Berlin Caitlin Kraemer Center for Metropolitan Studies, Technical University Berlin. [email protected] doi: 10.34632/diffractions.2021.9733 Abstract What effect can urban-river-swimming, in particular along the Spree Canal in central Berlin, have? Michel de Certeau (1984) distinguishes between ‘voyeurs’, viewing the city at a distance from above, disconnecting the body from the city, and ‘walkers’, walking in the city and immersing their body into the urban ‘text’. Certeau describes “walking as a space of enunciation” (98), a form of expression, and as an art of appropriation. Inspired by this, the paper transfers and expands Certeau’s thoughts on spatial appropriation by analyzing ‘swimming in the city’ and introducing the figure of the ‘city swimmer’. The paper explores what insights architecture and urban design along the (not yet swimmable) Spree Canal in central Berlin give into the urban history and river-city-relationship. Also, the paper discusses how urban-river- swimming (in Berlin: Flussbad Berlin Project) can work as a practice of spatial appropriation, reclaiming urban nature and public liquid space, as well as enabling a post-industrial ‘re-writing’ of the urban experience. Creating, transforming and appropriating space by ‘swimming in the city’ raises awareness of and creates visibility for urban nature, its ecological condition and accessibility to humans and non-human life in the city, which is especially important in the light of the climate situation and corona virus crisis.

  • Neues Museum
    Neues Museum Museum Island Berlin, Germany 1997–2009 Development of Museumsinsel (Museum Island), previously known as the Spreeinsel (Spree Island), began in the sixteenth century as a pleasure garden for the Stadtschloss (City Palace). The Altes Museum (Old Museum) by Karl Friedrich Schinkel was completed in 1828, and then in 1841 King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia ordered his court architect, Friedrich August Stüler, to draw up a plan to develop the land behind the Altes Museum – hitherto used for commercial purposes – and create a ‘sanctuary for the arts and sciences’. Designed by Stüler, the Neues Museum (New Museum) became the first component of this visionary haven, and was erected between 1841 and 1859. The Neues Museum was the first three-storey museum ever built and was organised as a solitaire construction executed according to a simple ground plan that enclosed two courtyards and replaced the central rotunda and cupola used in the Altes Museum with a rectangular stair hall that rose through all floors and occupied the full width of the building. Extensive bombing during World War II left the building in ruins with some sections severely damaged and others completely destroyed. Few attempts at repair were made after the war, and the wreck was left exposed with only a minimum of consolidation and protection undertaken during the GDR period. After David Chipperfield Architects’ appointment to the project in 1997–98, the building and restoration took nearly eleven years to complete, and the entire Museum Island was added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1999. The project was unique given that no earlier reconstruction attempt had been fully realised over a relatively long period of quiescence.

  • Precast Parts Made of Architectural Concrete
    Press Release Hardheim, September 2019 Precast parts for the James-Simon Gallery in Berlin – a masterpiece from the Dressler precast component factory, achieved with the aid of mixing technology from EIRICH On July 13, 2019 the James-Simon Gallery in Berlin was opened. It serves as a central reception building for the five museums on Berlin’s Museum Island. The building was constructed with reinforced concrete in the architectural concrete class SB 4 and with precast components made of architectural concrete. The precast parts were manufactured at the precast component factory of Dressler in Stockstadt am Main – with the aid of mixing technology from EIRICH. Dressler Bau GmbH, from Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, can look back on over 100 years of company history. When the company built its precast component factory in Stockstadt in 1970, EIRICH was involved right from the start. Dressler Bau places great importance on always using state-of-the-art technology and machines so that it can manufacture high-quality precast components. Accordingly, the mixing technology has been modernized on several occasions to keep it up to date with developments in technology. Until just a few decades ago concrete was a functional building material that was improved in visual terms by applying paint, plaster or cladding. Today, concrete has become a highly versatile designer building material. Bespoke creative solutions – like the architectural concrete from Dressler – lead to individual construction elements and open up new, varied design freedoms. The distinctiveness of contemporary architecture is derived from form, surface and color. Supplying high-quality precast concrete architectural components is one of the company's specialist fields.

  • 2.1. Royal Ontario Museum
    The Icing on the Cake: Large-Scale Museum Extensions to Historic Buildings AR 597: Dissertation Kent School of Architecture University of Kent March 2015 IOANNIS MEXIS Supervisors: Dr. Manolo Guerci, Dr Timothy Brittain- Catlin. Word Count: 8789 ACKNOWLEGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Manolo Guerci and Dr. Timothy Brittain- Catlin for the valuable assistance in writing this essay. ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates how historic buildings are conserved and revitalized by extension projects. More specifically, it is about large scale contemporary museum extensions to historic compositions. The investigation of the topic is achieved through a series of case studies based on three different types of extension projects: “Juxtaposing free- standing extensions”, “Weaving extensions” and “Homogenous free-standing extensions”. Through the first category we will investigate: the Royal Ontario Museum by Daniel Libeskind (2007), MAXXI Museum by Zaha Hadid (2010) and Stedelijk Museum by Benthem Crouwel Architects (2012). All three of these extensions, are examples of bold interventions that contrasts both the historic building and their context and have become landmarks in the cities they are located in. In the second category, we will examine: the Neues Museum by David Chipperfield (2009) and Tate Modern by Herzog and de Meuron (2000). Both extensions are in direct relation with the existing building. The architects’ interventions are respectful towards the existing composites, giving the existing building a refreshed appearance. In the last category we will explore: the second extension project to Tate Modern by Herzog and de Meuron (2016) and the James Simon Gallery by David Chipperfield (2017). Both of these free standing extensions are cases of interventions that respect the existing building and their context but still manage to stand out of their context on a deferential manner.

  • Isuf 2020: Cities in the Twenty-First Century
    ISUF 2020: CITIES IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY RESEARCH ON THE WEAVING STRATEGY FOR THE RENEWAL OF HISTORICAL BLOCKS Wenke Wu, College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University, China ABSTRACT The historical block is a symbol of city civilization. Changes of the times and rapid development of economy have caused great changes in the form and space of historical blocks, and also their decay in different degrees. How to solve the contradiction between the decline of historical blocks and the development of urban modernization has become the key. The weaving design, originated from western urban planning, is widely used in the revitalization of historical cities. It inherits the context of the original block, restore the form and activates its potential by gradually embedding new elements in the space required for transformation, so as to adapt historical blocks to modern cities. This paper explores the strategy of weaving design in the renewal of historical blocks. Taking some contemporary renewal projects of historical blocks in Europe and China as main objects, the study analyzes and summarizes the weaving methods and strategies from three aspects of urban, architecture and tectonic, trying to make contributions to the renewal and development of historical cities in the future. This paper is subsidized by NSFC project which is named as <Research on Time and Space Elements and Expression System of “Sharing Architecture”>, NO.51978468. Keywords: historic block, urban renewal, weaving strategy, modern and tradition INTRODUCTION With the advent of the information age and the development of economic globalization, the contradiction between the decline of historical blocks around the world and the development of urban modernization has gradually intensified.
