		Pariser Platz 3 is a mixed-use building comprised of a commercial component housing the Berlin headquarters of DG Bank and a residential component consisting of 39 apartments.
		Both the Pariser Platz facade and the Behrenstrasse facade are clad in a buff-colored limestone that matches the Brandenburg Gate.
		The Pariser Platz facade features a series of simple, punched openings and deeply-recessed window bays, allowing the building to blend naturally into the unique urban fabric which is the setting of the Gate.

	Berlin.de: Sights: DG Bank on Pariser Platz
		Compared with Gehry's previous buildings, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the residential house "Ginger und Fred" in Prague and the Zollhof in Düsseldorf, the Berlin bank building - almost predictably - is the least spectacular, at least from the outside.
		That is particularly due to the strict regulations which the architects had to follow on Pariser Platz.
		The requirement of opening the facade with a wall-to-window ratio of 50 : 50 was solved by Gehry in a surprising way: he combined the stone areas to a pillar-like shape, and between them he placed the windows which are held merely by narrow window breasts.

		By the end of the War much of the building had been destroyed, and as Pariser Platz lay close to the Wall of 1961 on the Eastern side, it was reduced to a station for border guards.
		Pariser Platz originated as part of the new western suburb of Berlin laid out on a rectangular grid for Friedrich Wilhelm the First of Prussia in 1733.
		The ascent from level to level was to be a drama and a discovery, with ever-changing views into the spaces behind as well as back through to the Pariser Platz, and a generous open terrace in the middle.

		Pariser Platz, immediately east of the Brandenburg Gate and a few yards from the Reichstag, is possibly Berlin's most historic square.
		In the 1960's Pariser Platz died, cut off from the West by the Wall and declared off-limits by the Communist government in East Germany.
		Almost thirty years later, after the opening of the Berlin Wall led to the re-unification of the two Germanys, Pariser Platz soon began to stir again, with the filing of property claims by the former owners, including the governments who once maintained their embassies there.

		Gehry has clearly taken the Pariser Platz dress code to heart; both bank and apartment facades are models of sobriety and severity.
		But the main bank facade overlooking Pariser Platz is an utterly plain, utterly stripped down composition of creamy buff limestone (to match the Brandenburg Gate) and glass.

		The two city facades of the Berlin Pariser Platz complex are an exceptional experience in use of stone materials by contemporary architecture.
		The north facade overlooking the historic square, in particular, represents an example of "extreme" stone architecture in the sense that it searches to marry, "at their limits", technology and architectural language in use in a modern construction of a traditional material like stone.
		These stone monoliths have been reinforced on the hidden side by fastening them to a concrete support that permitted the slabs to be handled during complex interior erection procedures.

		Pariser Platz, close to the Brandenburger Tor, was considered the "in" spot for the chic set, the most handsome of the squares and the most noble address.

		It was drowned in the clamor of Pariser Platz.

		The ordinary-seeming façade of Gehry's building at 3 Pariser Platz -- erected for DG Bank on the eastern side of the Brandenburg Gate, more or less in the former path of the Wall -- hides a magnificently impractical, and unfinished, sculpture-showroom of warped girders and curving glass.
		The room is walled in calm and rational Oregon pine, but a mound of glass breaks the ground-floor surface and swells up to the mouth of a monster that resembles an aborted section of Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
		The new city is awesome but unseductive, still unsure enough of itself to maintain a chilly will to impress, even if what we're supposed to be impressed by is lighter, more democratic than the incarnations we've known for most of the twentieth century.
