So much to do and see in the incredible city of Berlin!
Berlin boasts modern and contemporary architecture as well as the few historic buildings that were left in tact after World War II. The city is filled with new and exciting architecture and we’re lucky enough to have a few days to experience as much as we can fit in.
What better way to kick start our time in Berlin than by riding around on an Architectural tour with the wonderful Thomas Kruger from Ticket B Architectural Tours. Departing from our home away from home, Casa Camper Design Boutique Hotel situated in the vibrant and historical heart of the city, Mitte, we’ll be visiting Hackesche Höfe, Sophie-Gips-Höfe, Auguststr.aße, Urbane Living (Abcarius Burns), Hamburger Höfe (nps- Tschoban), Apartment Houses (Grüntuch & Ernst), Museums Island, Gallery at Kupfergraben, Deutsches, Hisatorisches Museum (i.M.Pei), Foreign Ministery (Müller Reimann), Town Houses Friedrichswerder, City Modell, via Karl-Marx-Allee, Cafe Moskau, and Alexanderplatz. All of that is
before lunch on our first morning!
Over the next two days we have the great privilege of visiting the inspiring practices of Realities United, David Chipperfield, Graft Lab followed by a visit to their funky KU64 Dental Clinic, Deadline Architects where we’ll also see their award winning Minilofts. We also get the pleasure of seeing a Juergen H Mayer project that is yet to be finished.
We’ll be visiting the famous Neues Museum with the company of an architect from David Chipperfield, the history filled Jewish museum, and the Berlinische Galerie.
