Der Himmel über Berlin, Hans Scharoun, Peter Handke, Philharmonie in Berlín, Postdamer Platz, Wim WendersAbstract
The research attempts to link Potsdamer Platz, which was turned into a field of scrubland after the Second World War, with the proposal of the Berlin Philharmonie. Wim Wenders and Peter Handke's film The Sky over Berlin shows the clashes between culture and barbarism, showing the traces of the war that the film expresses, in the face of the need to build an architectural space for culture in the place where the limit of space was destroyed. The analysis of the foyer of the Philharmonie is an investigation of the border generated by the boundary between East and West Berlin during the Cold War from the traces that show the confrontations and those that any peripheral place would generate in many of the cities of the West. The foyer of the Philharmonie is an enclosure that reveals a new way of defining a space of relation.
