Gehry symbolises a vibrant new Berlin.
With the DZ BanK building, the renowned architect has created an architectural masterpiece that enhances the status of the location. the stark, classical façade opens onto the entrance area to reveal a spatial sculpture of biomorphic forms, lavish materi-als and a spectacular, dynamic geometry. a location for every type of event - a unique setting that has to be seen to be believed …
