 Archimation (Thomas Meyer, Alexander Ware) Lehrter Bahnhof Berlin Germany 2000, 5’50” Lehrter Bahnhof is the most important railway construction project in Europe. Lehrter Bahnhof will be the center of Berlin’s transport system. Lehrter Bahnhof has been planned by architects von Gerkan, Marg und Partner, set in a new city district of 30 hectares to be built according to the urban planning of architect O.M. Ungers. Archimation has worked closely with the station developer, Tishman Speyer Properties, & various architects and developers involved in the planning over the last five years, providing visualizations for design and feasibility studies and marketing. The “Lehrter Bahnhof” video was commissioned by Tishman Speyer Properties and Deutsche Bahn AG as a way of presenting the many facets of this millennium project to a wide audience. Our goal was to create a small movie, and began with a storyline. We developed characters for our story based on the different types of visitor, set camera movements specific to each character, and solved the problem of their non-appearance through a soundtrack that is at least as important as the images and through scenes that allow their paths to cross, throughout the station and throughout the day. Formed in 1993, Archimation is an architectural practice and digital media company providing visual communication for architects, developers and all who are involved with the creation of tomorrow’s built environment. We are all architects, and work on our own projects and competitions when time allows. Having studied (Dipl. Ing.) in Zürich and Berlin, Thomas Meyer finished his education as an architect at the TU Berlin. Professionally he worked in various smaller Berlin offices before becoming project architect architect at Engel + Zillich. He then shifted to the presentation of architecture, working with film, video and computer animation before joining Archimation in 1997. Alexander Ware (B.Arch Architect) arrived in Berlin in 1990 and worked as project architect before joining Archimation in 1997. He has also worked for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in London and has been a guest critic at the Technische Universität Berlin. He holds a Bachelors degree from Cornell University. |
