The local context

High-tech in Berlin

Berlin's 3 High-tech buildings make structure and services visible as the primary architectural language. Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte's Internationales Congress Centrum — with its exposed aluminium cladding, visible structural trusses, and plug-in services — is the most ambitious High-tech building in Germany, a machine-age counterpart to the Centre Pompidou.

Renzo Piano's Potsdamer Platz complex contributes two entries: the Potsdamer Platz Arkaden and the Debis-Haus (now Atrium Tower), both using terracotta cladding, visible steel structure, and carefully articulated service cores. Piano's approach at Potsdamer Platz is High-tech tempered by urbanity — buildings that expose their construction logic while forming coherent street walls and public spaces.
