 Abstract

The plan to construct the Federal Ministry of digital Affairs was conceived in response to the increased focus on the digitalisation of Germany and its government. Historically, a new German cabinet has often formed a new ministry in response to current issues. The new Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs aims to represent the aforementioned ambition to spark and represent digital innovation.
The key ingredients to design this new building were primarily determined through site visits and online archival research. This was, the appropriate program, location and stakeholders were found. The program is based on existing ministries, with adjustment for digital processes occurring inside and overall a more transparent arrangement. The location is Schiffbauerdamm due to its contextual links and the stakeholders included government parties, the city and those in the immediate vicinity. The final design proved to be an extroverted building that angers with its surroundings and complements the existing context.
