Garden Pavilion in Berlin
- Burkhard Franke
The new Fellows Pavilion of the American Academy in Berlin is situated on the shores of Wannsee. Fully glazed, with clear rectangular lines and a white-painted steel structure, it stands before a stock of old trees on the edge of a park. Functionally, it is a response to the lack of space in the main academy building nearby. The pavilion contains seven study rooms for scholarship holders as well as a small kitchen. The spaces are divided by wooden-clad partitions, while the walls separating the rooms from the corridor are glazed, like the sliding doors on the outer faces.
