At the end of November, the jury, chaired by Stefan Behnisch, awarded the design for a new ministry on Wilhelmstraße and a residential building on Zimmerstraße. "The design impresses with its clear separation between ministry and housing construction. He consistently develops two different typologies, each convincing in its own right, from urban construction tothe expression of the façade"and yet merge them into a whole," the jury ruled. The aim was to unite the urban bridge between the clear block structure of Friedrichstadt on the one hand and the open building methods with palaces, embassies and ministries towards Tiergarten on the other hand with a solitaire for the ministry and a block line for residential development. The arena shape of the courtyardit was developed from the special place. It is associated with Hans Heinrich Müller'sround waiting building at the E-Werk.
