DZ Bank | Berlin, Germany

LuckyLuke · September 1st, 2005, 02:32 PM

The DZ Bank building is an office, conference, and residential building located at Pariser Platz between the Academy of arts and the US embassy (in construction). It was designed by architect Frank Gehry. Construction began in 1998 and was completed in 2000.

On the other side, facing Behrenstraße, are 39 residential apartments. Between the two is a large atrium, designed to be used as a conference or performance space. This is covered with a sophisticated glass-grid roof, curved in a complex form typical of Gehry's designs.

I really like this one, especially interior

It looks like a modern version of La Pedrera in Barcelona!
I'm not a fan of Gehry work,but this one looks very good.

8.5/10

the facade is nice if you see it in a lateral angle, in front is more simple view, and the inner patio is original.
