We build for Berlin

The Federal Government, the Federal States and the municipalities present themselves in public buildings. These have always shaped the image of the cities, towns and municipalities and symbolise their common good. In Berlin, the Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing builds many of these public buildings. They include opera houses, theatres, museums, libraries, universities, further-education schools, police and fire stations, court buildings through to correctional facilities and in recent times refugee accommodation too. How groundbreaking these buildings are in terms of design and in ecological, economic and functional ways is shown by way of example here.
