Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin-Tiergarten, Germany
The Congress Hall was the American contribution to the International Building Exhibition in 1957. It was declared as a gift of America to its close affiliate of West Berlin. Hugh A. Stubbins, Werner Düttmann and Franz Mocken, built a technically revolutionary building in 1957. I found the roof structure very artistic. The roof is supported on both sides by steel anchors which only rest on two points. In front of the building is an impressive large pond, in the middle of which Henry Moore's bronze sculpture "Big Butterfly" can be seen. The building is used as theater, exhibition area, congress and seminar.
