The Neue Nationalgaleriein Berlin is an icon of twentieth-century architecture. Planned and built from 1963 to 1968, the steel and glass structure is the only building designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in Europe after his emigration to the USA..

After almost fifty years of intensive use, the listed building required a comprehensive refurbishment.

David Chipperfield Architects led the renovation team which refurbished and upgraded the building to current technical standards with a minimum of visual compromise to the building’s original appearance.
