Neue National Gallery | Simon MengesThe Neue National Gallery in Berlin, completed in 1968, culminates Ludwig Mies van der Rohes lifelong pursuit of spatial purity and material refinement. Commissioned as part of post-war Germanys efforts to re-establish Berlin as a cultural hub, the gallery was envisioned as a modern temple for art. It was the only building Mies completed in Europe after emigrating to the United States, marking both a return and a farewell to the continent where his architectural philosophy was first shaped.Neue National Gallery Technical InformationArchitect1-19: Ludwig Mies van der RoheRenovation Architect1-19: David Chipperfield Architects (20152021)Location: Kulturforum, Berlin, GermanyTotal Area: 10,000 m2 | 107,600 Sq.

Mies distilled his vision into an unembellished yet profoundly expressive pavilionan exercise in clarity, order, and proportion. However, while the Neue National Gallery is widely regarded as a masterpiece of modern architecture, its functionality as an art museum has been debated since its inception.At its core, the Neue National Gallery studies minimalist tectonics. The design is defined by a large, rectangular steel-and-glass pavilion, measuring 50 x 50 meters, that hovers above a sunken concrete plinth. This upper level serves as an entrance and event space, while the main exhibition galleries are below ground.The most striking feature of the building is its steel roof, which appears to float effortlessly above the fully glazed facade. Supported by eight cruciform columns, the roof achieves an uninterrupted span of 64 meters, making it one of the most significant structural feats of Mies career. By eliminating internal supports, the pavilion embodies spatial fluidity, allowing for a dynamic interplay between interior and exterior spaces.Material selection plays a crucial role in reinforcing Mies design ethos. The black-painted steel frame, expansive glass panels, and polished black granite floors contribute to an atmosphere of restrained elegance. These materials, selected for their precision and permanence, emphasize the idea of architecture as an expression of absolute order. However, this strict formalism presents challenges: the extensive use of glass, while fostering transparency, creates difficulties in controlling light and exhibition layouts, leading to ongoing curatorial limitations.Design and Spatial ConsiderationsThe Neue National Gallery is recognized for its monumental clarity, demonstrating Mies van der Rohes mastery of structure and space. The fully glazed facade establishes a seamless connection between interior and exterior, reinforcing Mies vision of openness and continuity. The raised plinth provides a distinct elevation that enhances the gallerys presence within the urban landscape. It serves as both a platform and a boundary that defines the museums relationship with its surroundings.The open-plan pavilion exemplifies Mies commitment to architectural purity, allowing for flexible exhibition arrangements. The balance between architectural integrity and evolving museum functions highlights the adaptability of modernist design.Legacy, Renovation, and Contemporary RelevanceDespite its functional challenges, the Neue National Gallery is an architectural landmark, influencing museum design and minimalist architectural discourse. However, after decades of wear and outdated technical systems, the gallery required a significant renovation. The 2021 restoration by David Chipperfield Architects sought to balance preservation with modernization, ensuring the buildings longevity without compromising Mies original vision.Chipperfields renovation was a meticulous invisible repair, respecting the original design while upgrading the buildings mechanical, structural, and climate control systems. The renovation involved disassembling and reassembling 35,000 building components, reinforcing steel structures, restoring corroded elements, and replacing glass panels where necessary. The intervention remained as restrained as possible, staying faithful to Mies material and spatial intentions.Neue National Gallery PlansFloor Plan | David Chipperfield ArchitectsLower Level | David Chipperfield ArchitectsSection | David Chipperfield ArchitectsElevation | David Chipperfield ArchitectsDetail | David Chipperfield ArchitectsNeue National Gallery Image GalleryAbout Mies Van Der RoheShort Bio of the architect.About Mies Van Der RoheLudwig Mies van der Rohe (18861969) was a pioneering modernist architect known for his philosophy of less is more and his mastery of structural clarity and material elegance. As the last director of the Bauhaus, he played a crucial role in shaping 20th-century architecture, later refining his minimalist approach in the United States. His designs, including the Neue National Gallery, Farnsworth House, and Seagram Building, emphasize open space, precise detailing, and a seamless integration of modern materials such as steel and glass. Mies legacy is a benchmark for architectural simplicity, functionalism, and timeless elegance.About David Chipperfield ArchitectsDavid Chipperfield Architects is an internationally acclaimed architectural practice founded in 1985 by Sir David Chipperfield.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 15: Priscila Cachoeira of Brazil poses for a portrait after her victory ... [+] during the UFC Fight Night event at UFC APEX on March 15, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCThe UFC Vegas 104 card got off to a crazy start with back-to-back finishes in womens fights. While Carli Judices head-kick KO over Yuneisy Duben was memorable, it paled in comparison to the pure savagery that came from Priscila Cachoeira against Josiane Nunes on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.Take a look at the KO posted by MMA Fighting:Cachoeira catches Nunes flush with a well-placed uppercut that dropped the latter, immediately ending the fight. Cachoeira is affectionately referred to as Zombie Girl for her ability to walk through opponents attacks.Brendan Fitzgerald dropped a gem on commentary as he exclaimed: Zombie Girl just turned her opponent into a zombie.LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MARCH 15: (L-R) Priscila Cachoeira of Brazil and Josiane Nunes of Brazil trade ... [+] punches in a bantamweight fight during the UFC Fight Night event at UFC APEX on March 15, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCThe win pushed Cachoeira to 13-6 with the finish. It came at a perfect time, allowing her to avoid a three-fight losing streak.Cachoeira had lost back-to-back fights to Jasmine Jasudavicius and Miranda Maverick. Because Jasudavicius and Maverick are ranked No. 9 and No. 12, respectively, in the UFCs flyweight division, you wonder how close Cachoeira might be to joining the Top 15.The 36-year-old likely needs a win over a ranked opponent before she ascends to that level. For now, she may have done enough to earn a performance bonus.Shes won two of those in her career. Not coincidentally, one of those performance-winning finishes came via uppercut against Shana Dobson just 40 seconds into the fight.Perhaps she has a signature punch in her arsenal. Nunes standing with the UFC is likely in jeopardy. She has now lost three fights in a row. Before being knocked out by Cachoeira, Nunes lost decisions to Jacqueline Cavalcanti and Chelsea Chandler.With both Nunes and Cachoeira losing back-to-back fights to fighters who are currently ranked, their match-up was likely a determining factor for placement for the winner and loser.With the definitive nature of this loss, Nunes will either be released soon, or shell have one more opportunity to winor at the very leastput on an epic show in what could be a make-or-break fight the next time out.Here is a look at all of the results from Las Vegas.Marvin Vettori vs. Roman Dolidze - MiddleweightElizeu Zaleski vs. Chidi Njokuani - WelterweightAlexander Hernandez vs. Kurt Holobaugh - LightweightDaMon Blackshear def.

2025-03-15T23:02:06Z Read in app Elon Musk has reincorporated both Tesla and SpaceX outside Delaware. Samuel Corum/Getty Images This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now.Have an account? Delaware has long been a corporate haven due to its business-friendly laws.Elon Musk's decision to reincorporate both Tesla and SpaceX outside Delaware has made waves.State lawmakers are trying to maintain Delaware as a top destination for business incorporation.For generations, Delaware has been a top destination for business incorporation, giving the First State an outsized level of influence relative to its small population of just over one million people.However, the state is now working fervently to preserve its business-friendly reputation after Elon Musk moved the corporate home of both Tesla and SpaceX from Delaware to Texas last year. Musk made the decision after a Delaware judge struck down a $55 billion compensation package for Musk. Several other high-profile businesses followed his lead.Delaware lawmakers are now taking up a bill that seeks to maintain the state as a premier location for businesses by altering its corporate law structure. The bill, which was passed unanimously by the state Senate on Thursday, would change how deals between corporate leaders and major shareholders are handled in Delaware.The Delaware House of Representatives will take up the bill next, and should it pass the lower chamber, it will head to Democratic Gov. Matt Meyer, who supports the measure. Meyer spoke to Business Insider in February about threats to the state's corporate brand."The fact is, Delaware is the best location in the world for a company to incorporate, and that's thanks to our legal expertise dating back to 1792. But let's be clear: If any entity leaves Delaware, we're going to work to win them back," the governor, who took office in January, told BI.Democratic state Senate Majority Leader Bryan Townsend, the bill's primary sponsor, told Delaware Public Media that the changes are not intended to sway Musk to return but to ensure that companies considering leaving the state do not."We don't want there to be no guardrails that's what other states might be offering," Townsend said. "We want important guardrails, but they've got to be predictable and consistent and workable out there in terms of all the kinds of transactions that companies enter into."While the bill wouldn't be retroactive, meaning it wouldn't affect the proceedings involving Musk, the Tesla CEO's ongoing situation could have major implications for Delaware's business climate moving forward.In January 2024, Musk took to X to criticize the state after Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen McCormick blocked his compensation package."Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware," Musk wrote on the social media platform at the time. In December 2024, McCormick once again blocked the package. Musk is appealing the decision.Pershing Square Capital Management founder Bill Ackman announced in February that he would also move his management company from Delaware to reincorporate in Nevada. Dropbox also recently reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada, effective this month.Meta, too, is considering leaving Delaware for Texas or another state, according to the Wall Street Journal.
