- The Museum-Island in Berlin has a new building, the "James-Simon-Gallery" by David Chipperfield Architects. It opens 10 years after the "Neue Museum" which was renovated by the same architects and situated directly next to it. The new building serves as an entrance to the "Pergamonmuseum" and "Neue Museum" and manages to frame the public sphere in a clear continuity. Besides its aesthetic quality of materiality and form building upon antique and neo-classic architecture with integration of newest technology, the most astonishing aspect of the building is its accessibility. It enables access to those who are normally being disabled by our environment and symbolises it through an inviting elevator next to inviting stairs, humble and useable orientation system for blind people or embossed letters and braille on the railings.
We were sceptical in the beginning but really got convinced by the
building. Come and have a look!
