The Neue Nationalgalerie, a modern art museum in Berlin originally designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, got a tasteful reimagining by David Chipperfield Architects. The gallery features wall-to-wall windows that encapsulate the entire building, allowing passersby to peer inside. The Neue Nationalgalerie plays host to high grid-marked ceilings and wide, open-concept spaces, suitable for a variety of visual showcases.
The recent redesign of the Neue Nationalgalerie repaired and replaced much of the building's internal structure, including the canopy's steel frame. Upgrading the functionality of the gallery, the David Chipperfield Architects added a classy underground storage space clad in wraparound wood paneling that perfectly complements the white-gray concrete. To increase accessibility, a ramp was also added to the gallery's main entrance. The Neue Nationalgalerie is slated to reopen in August 2021.
