 Post 18: Site-Specific Poetry
The history of the Palast is itself nasty and complex; it was built on the site of former Hohenzollern Palast, one of the more oversized and excremental buildings of the Prussian state, begun in 1698 and completed in 1713 except for the addition of a massive dome in 1853.
The Palast der Republik is thereby transformed to a true space of utopian/dystopian desire in its promise of a negativity yet to come.
The proportions of the Palast were themselves monumentally ungainly and oppressive: its four stories stood a hundred feet high over the street, or twenty-five feet per story, and it contained 1200 rooms—in a city, when it was built, of roughly sixty thousand people.
