- Important note: Unfortunately the music mix in the beginning of this clip is a bit too loud, but be patient - from 0:18 seconds on it is all right! ###😘
It looks like a huge machine. The International Congress Centrum Berlin - ICC for short - is one of the most striking buildings in Berlin. And one of the most controversial. Some would gladly have it torn down, and the giant building has not been used properly since 2014. In addition, it has high maintenance costs and is also contaminated with asbestos. But others see the ICC as an important landmark in the city’s history. The city of Berlin, which owns the ICC, confirms this, having made it a listed building in 2019. It is hoped that temporary art exhibitions will open up new possibilities in the building’s future, however it still remains uncertain.

This build is straight out of Cyberpunk.
Which is horrible.
I’m so happy they saved it from being demolished. This thing is one unique piece of art.
The ICC is pure Star Trek for me, awesome!!! 😍😍😍😍
For my part, this building is magnificent.
I adore it, I love how it reflects the sky. And how it feels to be inside it, with its curves and warm hues.
Covering it, as one project presented as a biosphere, would be such a loss. I hope it becomes a communal space where finance and art can live together, after all floors are independent and it's big enough to host all interests.
Soundtrack's great as always but unfortunately it's too loud. It's almost impossible to understand what the narrator is saying.
Thanks @Fvejo ! We may need to re-upload it...🤔
I hope that whatever they do, they preserve the interior. Exterior is nice, but interior is one of a kind and a masterpiece of 1970s design, and it should remain as it was thought.
love it! looks like the set from Paul Verhoeven movie ❤❤❤❤❤
Part of this building was used as a photo bash in Mass Effect 1 concept art. It's a gem of architecture tbh.
The ICC is an artsy behemoth having many possibilities. Cool if they can obtain resources to redesign/utilize it. The James R. Thompson Center in Chicago is a similar behemoth.

The music is too loud !
@Ali Alrajjal Thanks for the hint - you are absolutely right, the beginning is not mixed properly, but from 0:18 seconds on it should be all right.
Debe ser uno de los edificios más feo que existen. Su presencia en la zona llega a ser intimidante . Un verdadero atentado arquitectónico.
Looks like something from the Starship Troopers movie
Wow🎉
who classified this as High-Tech architecture? Pompidou Center as one of the people interviewed mentioned is really a High-Tech building. High-Tech architecture is a branch of modernism and it emphasizes on putting the structure and services exposed as a proof of collaboration between all engineering branches and the architects from conceptualization. High-Tech buildings are simply machines. While this one is more likely to be a postmodern building that uses futuristic elements...
It Looks more in line with other high tech archtecture then Pompidou Center.
What's with the flashy music? Please take the music off so we can hear the presenter
@Klamentyne Sorry for that, we try to fix that! But from 0:18 seconds it should be all right.
@@dweuromaxx thank you very much, appreciated! 👍
As an American I like the building and hope to visit some day
Do not care who city it is I say what I want
Was the sound mixing done by Chris Nolan?
The ICC didn’t use asbestos, instead kafko was used, as it was less expensive and readily available.
Es sollte in ein Albumbild von B12 (aus Sheffield) gehört.
That venue could work as a multi purpose arts venue like London’s Barbican - would needs lots of money though!
Worst case scenario they gut it and turn it into an enormous movie stage. Or perhaps an indoor zoo habitat.
The latter actually sounds quite interesting... Imagine a huge Butterfly House..
And then in the first half of 2022, it was used as a major COVID-19 vaccination centre…
Das Osaka Hotel in John Wick 4.
Can you hire A SOUND EDITOR, the music is too loud, we can barely hear the woman speaking ..... WTF approved this video without checking this?
@Hbt Please read our video description, thank you.
A monstrosity.
Looks kinda ugly but I hope they repurpose it instead of demolishing it.
I say demo it and build a modern convention center that lets in lots of natural sunlight, has solar, efficient heating/cooling systems, clean modern touchless bathrooms, etc. and will host a bunch of cool conventions (cars/tuner/imports, comics/anime/cosplay/film, tattoos/oddities/goth, antiques/collectables, electronics/audiophile/computing, etc.) and is connected to mass transportation systems. This will bring tourists like myself to Germany and economic prosperity to the region.
@SoCalFreelance It is at least already well connected to the transport network ...😉 Thanks for your comment!
@@dweuromaxx Good to know! We wouldn't want all those artists to have to walk. 😁
Pretty nice. But don't overdo it.
Wäre schade um das ICC wenn es abgerissen würde.
@clemenszivi Agree - It would really be a shame to tear it down.
