“We’re like surgeons around a body,” said David Chipperfield as he looked at Berlin’s New National Gallery. The building, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, one of the 20th century’s greatest architects, was almost as bare as it had been at its topping-out ceremony, in April 1967. Mies, who left Nazi Germany for the U.S. in 1937, was courted by West #Berlin in the early 1960s to build something uplifting in the divided city. He chose to build a museum. Unfortunately the aging architect put his sense of mission before the laws of physics (and warnings from city planners). So recently, a team of 10 architects took apart the innards of the monumental building, a temple-like space sheathed by glass walls and topped with a mighty steel roof. 35,000 pieces, including 14,000 granite slabs and 3,500 light fixtures, have been removed for cleaning. “It’s like an old man, naked except for socks,” David, half amused, half shocked. It’s rare that a star architect wants you not to see his work. But his goal is to reopen the New National Gallery’s stunning collection of #Modernist art in 2020 in a building that will work better than it did, but look and feel untouched. @gordonwelters photographed #DavidChipperfield in Berlin.
