A 2.5 hour architectural walk through the center of Berlin.
Historical, classics and future projects along Friedrichstraße conducted by Berlin architects.
The walk starts in one of the most renowned museum in Berlin, the Jewish Museum. Right next to Daniel Libeskind's first construction a new quarter will be born. The southern part of Friedrichstadt had already been worth a pilgrimage for those interested in architecture as a central place of theIBA (International Architecture Exhibition 1984-87).
30 years on, something new is happening, an autonomous place for living and working at the former flower market and the media center of the Axel-Springer publishing house at Checkpoint Charlie.
Along Friedrichstraße we cut through the city and end the tour at the lighthouse projects in the heart of Berlin Mitte: the construction site of the palace and the future entrance building to the Museum Island, the James-Simon-Galerie.
Meeting point with Ticket B Architecture Tours at 11 o'clock: Platz vor der jüdischen Akademie across from the Jewish Museum
