New german parliament (Reichstagskuppel) - Reichstag - Berlin/Germany - Architecture Prizes on Waymarking.com

Die Wahl zur Gestaltung des Neuen Deutschen Parlamentes fiel auf Sir Norman Foster, der sich gegen rund 80 Mitbewerber durchsetzte. Auffälligstes Element ist die begehbare gläserne Kuppel. Das 800 Tonnen schwere Bauwerk aus Stahl und Glas misst 40 Meter im Durchmesser und 23,5 Meter in der Höhe. An der Innenseite winden sich zwei spiralförmig angelegte Wege bis zur Aussichtsplattform in die Höhe und wieder hinunter zur Dachterrasse.
Der Umbau dauerte 5 Jahre. Im April 1999 konnte Sir Norman Foster symbolisch den Schlüssel an Bundestagspräsident Wolfgang Thierse übergeben.
Innerhalb kürzester Zeit wurde die Kuppel zu einem Publikumsmagnet.

The choice for the design of the New German Parliament fell on Sir Norman Foster, who succeeded against 80 competitors. The most striking element is the accessible glass dome. The 800-tonne structure of steel and glass measures 40 meters in diameter and 23.5 meters in height. Two spirally laid paths that wind on the inside to the viewing platform in the air and back down to the roof terrace.
The reconstruction lasted 5 years. In April 1999, Sir Norman Foster was symbolically handed over the keys to the Bundestag President Wolfgang Thierse.
Within a short time the dome was an audience magnet.
