Berlin's New National Gallery - concept design

This new museum will be an extension of Mies van der Rohe's 1968 Neue Nationalgalerie building and physically connect them through an underground tunnel.

The main architecture language mimics a warehouse or a barn through its use of gables to diffuse day-lighting, with perforated brick walls. Herzog's section of the museum will house 20th Century art, while Mies' gallery will house the first half of the 20th Century, as it always has.
