NEW BUILDING FOR THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE GERMAN TRADE UNION CONFEDERATION (DGB) BERLIN 2023 — In terms of typology, the DGB building fulfils two functions. It completes the Gründerzeit city block, with an elevated section that joins the free-standing post-war edifices of City West to span the open space. Creating window to the city, a finely structured building element divides the assembly: a five-storey-high lobby that provides a social space with a café and shops on the ground floor.
