Sir David Chipperfield founded David Chipperfield Architects in 1985 and has since become one of the world’s most admired architecture firms, having won several international competitions and completed more than 100 built works.
The Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin’s Kulturforum is one of the icons of twentieth-century architecture. The only building realized by Mies van der Rohe in Europe after his emigration to the USA, the Neue Nationalgalerie has been dedicated to the art of the twentieth century since its opening in 1968. After almost 50 years, the damage, deficiencies, and deficits of intensive use are to be carefully and sustainably addressed, within the restrictions imposed by the building’s status as a listed monument. The process of refurbishment and modernisation aims for maximum preservation of the existing fabric, with a minimum visual compromise to the building’s original appearance.

Very nice interview. The best quote: "better repair, not replace "
great video
Brillante! como era de esperarse.
Has there been a monograph done on the project that relates to the restoration process?
There was an excellent one, albeit very hard to find, on the Tugendhat House from about 15 years ago. Very interesting challenges….first and foremost…can you display prints / paintings in the temple and still maintain temperature and humidity without excessive condensation. Presumably that would not be an issue if you managed the “temple” as simply a grand “entry vestibule” with sculpture and limited sensitive material displays to lower level areas with easier to maintain environmental controls.
Love David Chipperfield
