Architecture: Honorable Mention 2022 (amateur)
Internationale Congress Centrum Berlin (ICC Berlin) by MXPRIVÉ . (Germany)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Internationale Congress Centrum Berlin (ICC Berlin)
(Architects: Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte)
The future, it ages
Monumental in its size, futuristic in the shape and material of its façade.
Built at the time as the largest and most modern congress centre in Europe, the ICC offered a glimpse for many years of visions and possibilities that still lay ahead.
Today, abandoned and disused, it resembles a time capsule at the kerb of the A100 city motorway.
Shining in the sunlight, the aluminium façade with its struts looks like a protective bulwark against the urban changes.
But time neither stands still nor shows restraint; instead, it draws its traces on all sides of this iconic building monument.
