Abstract

The Old Pinakothek, with its progressive concept, became a model for many 19th -century museums. Completed in 1846, by Leo von Klenze, the structure was severely damaged post-war. Its first restoration plans included a complete tear-down and a new master plan. Hans Döllgast fought for its preservation and state of history, adding a method of plain textured exposed brickwork as a commitment to the present, consequently giving rise to a new perspective of ruin conservation. Creative approaches of re-constitution that involve analyzing a monumental space and its history with a focus on reconstruction that is strategic, have brought a shift in the way one can approach architecture since the 1890s. The unconventional philosophy and strategic craftsmanship serve as an inventory of practices that have inspired architecture in Berlin and across Europe today.
