Zum Hintergrund
"Wenn man auf das 20. Jahrhundert zurückschaut, sieht man enorm viele neue Maschinen, und die meisten waren riesig groß, was ich als Designer natürlich attraktiv finde. Computer waren riesig, Flugzeuge, Autos, Elektronik – alles war raumgreifendin großem Maßstab. Im 21. Jahrhundert wird alles miniaturisiert. Großrechner werden zu Laptops; Nano-Technologie wird wichtig. Wie aber zeigt man so etwas in einer Ausstellung? An dieser Stelle kam mir die Idee der Pyramide. Ich suchte ein Design, das auf den Himmel, auf das Weltall abzielte. Das gab mir die Chance den Lichthof optisch zu erhöhen und zugleich die viktorianische Architektur im Blick zu behalten, die mir am Martin-Gropius-Bau sehr gut gefällt. So spielte ich mit dieser Idee; und am Ende wurde es fast kathedralenhaft, wie alle meine Linien auf einen Punkt zustrebten. [Ken Adam]"

Zum Hintergrund
"Die Zukunft ist eine Konstruktion. Sie reicht im Lichthof des Martin-Gropius-Baus bis hinauf zur gläsernen Kuppel. Der erste Blick schon gleitet an geneigten Stahlträgern empor, wie man sie niemals vorher in dem Bau erblickte. Entlang der Kanten eines offenen Pyramidenstumpfes geht die Perspektive aufwärts, vorbei an Säulengalerien bis zur weiten Glaskuppel, die alles hier Gezeigte überwölbt."
