A casa é caracterizada por suas linhas limpas e design minimalista, com uma estrutura de madeira exposta que não apenas serve como um elemento estético marcante, mas também destaca a integração harmoniosa da construção com o ambiente natural circundante. O amplo uso de vidro permite a entrada abundante de luz natural, promovendo uma conexão fluida entre os espaços internos e externos.

In recent years two of Berlin’s (and actually Germany’s) most significant brutalist buildings sparked quite an outcry among architects, preservationists and lovers of Brutalism: the so-called Mäusebunker designed by Gerd & Magdalena Hänska as well as the Institute for Hygiene and Microbiology by Fehling + Gogel were threatened with demolition. Fortunately, a big discussion ensued and concluded with the heritage protection of both buildings. But until now only for the Institute building a viable continued use has been determined whereas the Mäusebunker still lies dormant despite the numerous concepts on the table. They range from b+’s plan to turn the Mäusebunker into a hub for studios and workshops to FORWARD’s proposal of turning it into a modern day ark. The latter was developed by Ludwig Heimbach, the editor of „Mäusebunker & Hygieneinstitut - Eine Berliner Versuchsanordnung“, recently published by Jovis Verlag, a volume that takes a deep dive into the history, present and potential future of the two emblematic buildings. The book is the conclusion Heimbach’s long-term advocacy of the buildings’ preservation and the comprehensive archival research that accompanied it. Together with different authors Heimbach recounts the building history of Mäusebunker and Hygieneinstitut, highlights their architectural uniqueness and also involves the heated debate surrounding their preservation or demolition, with the latter being especially hard-fought in the Mäusebunker’s case. As the book recounts, the Mäusebunker due to its function as „Central Animal Laboratories of the Free University Berlin“ from its very opening on had a hard time being accepted: for animal-rights activists it naturally was a fed flag and for the average Berliner an eyesore. But its monolithic, warship-like appearance shouldn’t deflect from the wealth of details the building contains and which the plans included in the book reveal. They come to life in Kay Fingerle’s essay and photographs that take a look behind the facades of both buildings and particularly vividly show the dystopian atmosphere inside the Mäusebunker.
Together with the incredible amount of plans, sections and historic photographs as well as the informative texts, Fingerle’s photographs leave no doubt why Mäusebunker and Hygieneinstitut are outstanding examples of German Brutalism that with the present volume receive a well-deserved homage!
