a template of lights on the surface and not much seems to have changed the how. often hype and i don't think times of openness this whole is a unique structure no other museum in the world is like it that was one reason to preserve it of course we stuffed lots of technical equipment into the ceiling where it can't be seen the guiding principle for the renovation was as much as possible. was found on her out the german born american joint of modern architecture he was commissioned to design the new museum in the early 1960 s. . $1200.00 metric tons of steel were welded together on the site into one piece to form the roof hydraulic jack lifted it into place 8 pillars a masterpiece of engineering that still causes jaws to drop. because the last meets

fund building to be completed the crowning glory of his career. the noir that's now camry opened in 1960. and became a cultural landmark 1st of west berlin and then reunified. it hosted one spectacular exhibition after another and maintained its own mcness and collection of 20th century art but 950 years on it was clear the buildings technology was hopelessly obsolete comprehensive whenever they should it was. british architect david chipperfield was a fan before he took on the renovation job. uncompromising piece of architecture was quite short very impressive. very identifiable. everybody can understand how this works the contract for the noir

6:49 pm
such an icon. what its reputation is is both. as a major. cultural building in berlin. and especially as it was you know. 96 that it was part of rebuilding but in especially west berlin and trying to is aware reinvented city which had lost all of its cultural. monuments to the east side so it took on a huge responsibility within the city and but in the history of architecture it's also identified as one of me says great work so the building carries these you know. this importance both in terms of its situation in burton and also in that situation in his good architecture and. i have spoken about
6:50 pm
the structure as as being radical and uncompromising what was it like for you as an architect to actually take on such a building and walk in the footsteps of a giant like revenge from that whole. we're lucky we didn't really have to walk in his footsteps we just had to sort of. cover up something or you know deal with looking after this incredible thing which he had made answer you know our responsibility in task was pretty straightforward and in the in general terms was to with repair it and bring it back to what the architect intended it to be and and that it had been at some point. and of course. that is that on the face of it it's simple to us but michael simple tosses it was actually it's quite complicated. and that complication is to do with issues
