a new skirt for berlin
– textile layers drape like skirts over the new labels berlin building
– the building stages itself through its large membrane façade, which appears to have no structure
– shimmering by day, glowing at night
– textile layers in the space between the façade skins give the building its form
– timeless or modern, veiling or revealing, replaceable at any time
– weather-protected between the glass enclosure and the etfe membrane
– at the entrance the curtain folds inwards into the building over all floors
– experienced through a void
– on the inner part of the textile, the labels present themselves to the outside through projections and prints
– the curtain folded inwards guides visitors and customers inside
– from the entrance the view is focused across the event space and restaurant area, over the terrace onto the spree
