Description
"In the direct proximity of the industrial complex on the Kampfmeyer site dating from the 1980s (architects: Ganz and Rolfes) and next to the hotel extension on the land of the old dairy (architect: Borchardt) are the Spree meander towers (architects: Kuhn-Bergander-Bley). Seen from the street Alt-Moabit, the office building, which is shaped like a gigantic U, is more or less in the rear courtyard. The wings of the building open out to the Spree, although a converted industrial building dating from the 19th century blocks the view from the inner courtyard to the river." -- Kieren, M. (1998). Neue Architektur, Berlin 1990-2000. Berlin: Jovis. p.152. This image was taken in 2001 by John P. Schooley, FAIA, during the 'Berlin: Building the New City' tour. This tour was planned for architects and planners so that they could see first-hand how this once-divided city emerged from the Cold War to become a leading commercial and cultural center in Europe. Submitted by John Schooley, FAIA.
