| Alfred Berger & Tiina Parkkinen out of Vienna conceived of cooperation among various embassies in Berlin by combining structure and organization into an overall plan with Nordic overtones. Five embassies are organized in a star-shaped plan, according to their geographic location with Germany, and an information center. The complex is surrounded by a secure palisade enclosure They relate with common undulating metal facades that manipulate according to the surroundings, turning soft and green near the Tiergarten. Operable louvers afford flexibility in opening views and sunlight. Each country employed its own architect for individual buildings. It opened in 1999. |
