Neues Museum Berlin: David Chipperfield Architects in Collaboration with Julian Harrap

Description

This book documents David Chipperfield’s most important project to date: the Neues Museum, center piece of the Berlin Museumsinsel. Photographs taken in natural light by Candida Hofer show the rooms after their completion and before they were furnished. Hofer’s images are complemented by texts from well-known architects, architectural historians, art historians and conservation architects highlighting the fundamental principles of the project. An interview with David Chipperfield gives insight into the problems surrounding the work.Contributions by David Chipperfield, Alvaro Siza, Kenneth Frampton, Joseph Rykwert, Thomas Weski.
