The Association for the Rebuilding of the Berliner Stadtschloss will be informing visitors about the history of the Berlin Palace, the reconstruction of the palace façade, and the historical courtyard.

The Living Roof offers you the essence of the city. It condenses all the functions of daily life into a compact and selfsustaining capsule, intended for urban rooftops, but ready to be airlifted into the savanna at short notice.
