Lehrter Station

SCHEMI-BIPV-2 trasp

The key design principle of Berlin’s Central Station is the clear emphasis of the existing course of the railway tracks in the urban environment. Large, lightweight glass roofs as well as two intersecting office buildings translate this principle with architectural means.  The roof  skin is widely covered by semitransparent PV glasses providing a solar shading and light control.
