For Berlin Museum, a Modern Makeover That Doesn’t Deny the Wounds of War

Tags:
Berlin's Neues Museum destroyed during the war, is painstakingly built using the bricks and stone from the ruins, by the London architect David Chipperfield. As for many public buildings in Germany the past is opportunity, and the scraps of the old building were used, with "millions of decisions" technical, aesthetic and political in a vast jigsaw puzzle handed down by Stuler the original architect of the building- which opened in 1855 to promote "the elevated interests of the people." Chipperfield built a new building using the remains of the old. And based on the long lines in Berlin, waiting for hours in the cold March weekend and stretching for half amile, the building works for the people of Berlin. Of the grand central stairway that edges on upward through the old brick and into the new structure, upward to more light, the NYT writer Kimmelman says that this space is a metaphor for Germany today. In their response to its history Berliners are keeping the history as part of the large jigsaw puzzle of human experience and response.

How Ms. Merkel is defining German goals and programs during the global economic and financial crisis of 2008-2009.
09/09/2008
Merkel has quietly established her own approach and style of governing, less on rhetoric, and more on substance and social market principles that are popular in Germany. Her popularity goes far beyond that of the CDU, and she has defined new positions for the CDU, from aiding workers, promoting daycare, fighting for environmental goals, and bringing a new perspective on immigration. The result is a distinctly German approach to the crisis based on German conditions and preferences.

Steven Pearlstein - A Rare Triumph of Substance at the Summit
Washington Post 04/03/2009
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
