New York

Fifty years ago the Congress Hall was built on the banks of the Spree as a gift from the United States government to West Berlin. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, this postwar landmark of Western modern architecture has been the home of the House of World Cultures. The House is celebrating the 50-year anniversary with an interdisciplinary project on the transatlantic relationship between Germany and the USA, with a special focus on New York.
