Reichstag, New German Parliament

Berlin/ Germany, 1992-1999

The transformation of the Reichstag is rooted in four issues: the significance of the Bundestag as a democratic forum; a commitment to public accessibility; a sensitivity to history; and a rigorous environmental agenda. Emphasising values of clarity and transparency, the glazed cupola is a new landmark for Berlin, and a symbol of the vigour of the German democratic process.

Dresden Station Redevelopment

Dresden/ Germany, 1997-2006

Originally one of the most impressive late-nineteenth-century railway stations in Europe, Dresden’s railway terminus suffered severe wartime damage compounded by poor post-war maintenance, finally reaching a state where remedial conservation was required. This redevelopment peels away later additions to restore the integrity of the original design with modern means.

Petronas University of Technology

Seri Iskandar/ Malaysia, 1998-2004

Located within the beautiful and dramatic landscape at Seri Iskandar, 300 kilometres north of Kuala Lumpur, the 450-hectare site is characterised by steep hills and lakes formed by flooded disused tin mines. The design responds to the physical landscape of the site and to the weather patterns particular to this part of the world.
