“未来之家”（Futurium Berlin）位于柏林的中心地带，专注于举办活动和各类展览。建筑坐落在教育研究大楼、施普雷河岸与Humboldt港口之间，靠近主要的车站以及Charité医院。“未来之家”拥有一个造型独特的体量，其立面后退于两侧的街道，从而创造出两处公共空间。大楼的折叠体量在施普雷河岸与高架的铁路之间显得十分突出。作为一栋全新的低能耗建筑，“未来之家”获得了BNB可持续性评价的金级认证。

The Futurium is a building for exhibitions and events in the heart of Berlin – embedded between the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (ministry for education and research), the Spreebogen (Spree Riverbend) and the Humboldthafen (Humboldt port), the main station and the Charité Hospital. The Haus der Zukunft (house of the future) creates its own sculptural identity in this ensemble. On the two main sides of the building, the Alexanderufer and the Kapelle-Ufer, two public spaces are defined by setting back the building. Folding the building up to create urban high points makes the Futurium a striking appearance between the Spree River and the elevated railway. The Futurium was conceived as a low-energy building and achieved the BNB-Gold sustainability rating.

▼建筑外观，exterior view

建筑的外部空间由两个主要入口所在的宽敞前院构成。纵深达18米的悬臂式屋檐在入口下方构成带顶的公共空间。波点状的图案覆盖了整个公共区域，为之赋予了明显的特征，同时为座位区域、室内路径和静音区域的布局提供了有趣的逻辑依据。人行道旁的树木则为活动区域的开放露台提供了荫蔽。

The exterior space around the Futurium is organized by two large forecourts, where the main entrances are located. The entrances have cantilevering canopies of up to 18 meters generating sheltered public spaces. A pattern of dots covers the entire public space and lends it its own identity. Following the logic and design of the pattern seating areas, paths and quiet zones are playfully arranged. The open terrace of the event area is located amidst shady rows of trees along the passageway to the Charité.
