Overview

East Tower Berlin (ETB) aims to break the mold with a meta-modern approach that combines the best of the modern rigor and the sculptural strength of the post-modern icon. A vertical stack of five masses, each with the proportion of the surrounding city blocks, shifted vertically in order to create a potential connection between all the floors and emphasizing its sculptural appearance.

The project is a collaboration between BIG and Aukett Haase, a Berlin-based architect.
