A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Pariser Platz is one of three baroque squares at the western border of an eighteenth century extension of the historic centre of Berlin. It is best known for the Brandenburg Gate, both an architectural and a political monument. Ever since the unceremonial opening of the Gate in 1791, the square has been remodelled in an attempt to tame the revolutionary impact on Langhan's architecture. During the division of the city, the square - or rather the no-man's land around the Gate - reflected the division in a unique way. In the wake of reunification the square was one of the first areas to be developed. The new buildings look decent enough. But do they reflect the architectural and social changes as well as the challenges of the next century?
