Ludwig Mies van der Rohe presented the ideal skyscraper in 1922: the floor plan like a trident star, the outer shell made entirely of glass, with three elevators at the core. The interior space seems unplanned. This skyscraper was not feasible at the time.
In the design, an exaggerated photo, Mies van der Rohe emphasises the contrast between the glassy transparency and lightness of his skyscraper - and the oppressive weight of Berlin's old buildings, which have been additionally darkened in the photo.
The design shown on the poster was created for the ideas competition for a high-rise building at Friedrichstrasse station in Berlin. The site was to be the plot between the station, the Spree and Friedrichstrasse.
The exaggerated photo is in the collection of the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin.
