    The Kulturforum is characterised by an urban architecture of mutually complementary
    solitaires in a „flowing“ urban space. The exact placement and architectural design of
    the new building needs to improve the urbanistic situation and the open spaces‘ quality
    of stay, and render them more precise.

    This competition for ideas is meant to clarify how the new building for the Museum of the
    20th Century and its immediate environment can be fashioned architecturally, in terms
    of urban planning, and in the design of the open spaces. The competition is aimed at
    gaining insights into the task formulation and framework conditions of the realisation
    competition to follow. Based on the results of the competition for ideas, its organiser
    will optionally define further parameters for the urban planning and the design of the
    open spaces. In addition to this, 10-20 competitors are meant to be qualified for the
    subsequent realisation competition as prize winners of the competition for ideas. The
    competition for ideas is thus designed to provide architects who have not yet planned
    or realised large museums or similar buildings with an opportunity to take part in the
    realisation competition.

    The German Bundestag has made 200 million euros available for this project in No-
    vember 2014 (investment costs including initial equipment) and placed them under a
    qualified freeze at the same time. As things stand at the moment, 110 million euros
    of this are available as a gross cost ceiling for the building and outdoor facilities (cost
    categories 300-500). The further realisation of the project is conditional to these funds
    being released by the German Bundestag.
