BERLIN, GERMANY, 9 October 2018 – The revised design for the Museum of 20th Century was presented in the presence of Monika Grütters, Kulturstaatsministerin (Minister of State for Culture), and Hermann Parzinger, President of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. The media conference in the morning was followed by a panel discussion and presentation of the project in the evening, which was open to all interested members of the public.
“The many reactions to the competition design in the media, from experts and the public alike, have shown how significant this project is, and served as a motivational force for its further development”, says Jacques Herzog. “Our urban planning concept for the Kulturforum is a concept of density, not of emptiness. It organizes an interplay of buildings put into precise relation with each other. And it also initiates the interaction of the cultural institutions established in those buildings.”
