The local context

Futurist in Berlin

Berlin's 3 Futurist buildings share a fascination with technology, speed, and forms that seem to belong to another era. Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte designed two of them: the Bierpinsel — a pop-coloured mushroom tower over a Steglitz intersection — and the Internationales Congress Centrum, a space-age aluminium vessel that was the world's largest congress centre when it opened in 1979.

Gerd Hänska and Magdalena Hänska's Mäusebunker — Berlin's legendary animal research laboratory — completes the trio with its fortress-like ventilation ducts and stacked concrete decks, a building that looks more like a docked spacecraft than a university facility. All three represent a moment when Berlin's architects imagined the future in concrete, steel, and bold structural gymnastics.
