Located in the street Schönhauser in Berlin, we find a building which stands out from the rest, The Kunsthalle.
This building was created to bring cultural events and art to the Mitte district in the city. Its construction lasted a few days which involved eight lorries, two cranes and 34 cargo containers. The containers were piled up to form an open hall inside, divided into four floors with a plaza and an adjacent outdoor space. The first floor holds the functions of a perfect main enclosure, such as dinners, round table conferences and presentations. The solid walls of the cargo containers also create the perfect place to show films and live music. One of the cargo containers serves as a bar and restaurant, serving food and drink for each of the programmed events. Finally, it is worth stating that, in some sections of the building, the cargo containers have been cut and replaced by glass windows, allowing light to enter through the front. This is a clear example of how art adapts to the needs which the activities in the building require.
