Architectural context

About Hugh Stubbins

Hugh Stubbins (1912–2006) was an American architect who contributed to Berlin's architectural identity through two significant post-war projects. The catalogue holds 2 of his works in Berlin.

The House of the Cultures of the World (1957), originally the Kongresshalle, is a dramatically cantilevered concrete auditorium with a sweeping butterfly roof — a gift from the United States to West Berlin and a Cold War symbol of cultural freedom. The Dreipfuhl Housing Area is a Modernist residential development. The Kongresshalle's roof collapsed in 1980 and was rebuilt in 1987; the building remains one of Berlin's most recognisable landmarks.
