international competition /berlin, 2005/06 //RUNNER-UP

The aim of the competition was to develop a overall concept for the area of Topography of Terror and a new documentation centre that embraces the national and international meaning of this historical location. Our design is located close to the former Berlin Wall, next to the excavations that had been done. The building itself uses as little as possible the historical ground and leaves many traces of the past untouched. The inner organisation of the building is considered as a layering of different strata - as history has left vestiges and has been layered in strata on this specific historical site.
