Program & Site

The Inforum is a hypothetical project where the city of Berlin wishes to create a new kind of civic gathering place, which can build on the synergy of public and commercial information technology. Because it is a joint venture between the city, the local university and private investment, the program is a combination of public amenity, educational facility, and commercial venture.

The site for the Inforum building is the site previously proposed for the new American Embassy in Berlin. The site faces the famous Pariser Platz on the North. More detailed information is available from the links listed below.
