Another day, another setback for Berlin‘s long awaited Berlin Modern, as moisture damage in the building’s shell and microbial contamination in other parts of the structure have forced the postponement of the museum to 2030.
The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation announced the delay earlier this week, according to Monopol, after the Berlin-Brandenburg Broadcasting Corporation broke the story on the issues.
The latest delay adds approximately eight months to the construction timeline for the Herzog & de Meuron-designed building, which was originally scheduled to open this year as the Museum of the 20th Century.
Herzog & de Meuron Basel Ltd. is an international architecture firm headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, with additional offices in Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Munich, New York, Paris and San Francisco. Founded in 1978 by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, the practice's portfolio includes more than 600 projects in 40 countries.
