Le Corbusier in Berlin |
Flatowallee 16 Berlin, Berlin 14052 +49 (0)30 25 0025 (Touristen Information) |
French architect Le Corbusier became famous in Marseille and Nantes for his unique multi-coloured tower blocks. His only work in Berlin was built for the 1957 International Exhibition of Construction and is situated just a few blocks away from the Olympic Stadium. Surrounded by trees and lawns, the huge symmetrical concrete high-rise, studded with multicoloured balconies, is admired even by the sternest critics of modern architecture. Unfortunately though, the building could not be built exactly according to Corbusier's original plans. He had wanted to incorporate theatres, shops and kindergartens on the ground floor, but inflexible building regulations prevented him from doing so. Review © 2009, Wcities |
