Unique in the world, Berlin's new Museum for Architectural Drawing, designed by architects Sergei Tchoban and Sergey Kuznetsov, brings some of the finest 20th and 21st century architectural drawings together in a building provocatively tattooed with its own drawings.
A series of concrete boxes, each carved with an array of large-scale drawings and dimpled with window apertures, function as a Trajan's Column of architectural history in a corner site located on the grounds of the historic Pfefferberg Brewery adjacent to the Aedes Architekturforum. A cantilevered glass box caps the complex and offers visitors sweeping city views and a sunny spot to make one's own sketches as the culmination of the museum sequence.
