The ICC Berlin is a Gesamtkunstwerk, a giant time capsule that has been waiting for a new usage concept for almost a decade. Planned in the 1960s and opened in 1979, the exhibition building--designed by Ursulina Schüler-Witte and Ralf Schüler, and encompassing Frank Oehring's incomparable wayfinding system--remains an attentiongrabbing structure. While the building's brutalist exterior overwhelms the viewer, its interior conveys an air of calm, offering a view of the suddenly quieted traffic through its panoramic windows.
