Kongresshalle, Convention center in Tiergarten, Berlin, Germany
The Kongresshalle features a distinct curved roof structure and large glass panels across its exterior walls within the expansive Tiergarten park setting.
Hugh Stubbins designed this modern architectural monument, which opened in 1957 as part of Berlin's post-war reconstruction and urban development initiatives.
The building houses the House of World Cultures, serving as a center for international cultural exchanges, exhibitions, and conferences in the German capital.
Located in central Berlin's Mitte district, the convention center provides multiple conference rooms, exhibition spaces, and modern technical facilities for various events.
The building earned the nickname 'pregnant oyster' due to its unusual curved roof design that extends outward from the main structure.
