Neue Synagoge ( New Synagogue ), 1866 Oranienburger Stra�e Berlin, September 2011 �The front of the building, facing Oranienburger Stra�e, is richly ornamented with shaped bricks and terracotta, accented by coloured glazed bricks. Beyond the entrance, the buildings alignment changes to mesh with pre-existing structures. The synagogues main dome with its gilded ribs is an eye-catching sight. The central dome is flanked by two smaller pavilion-like domes on the two side-wings. Beyond the fa�ade was the front hall and the main hall with 3,000 seats. Due to the unfavourable alignment of the property, the buildings design required adjustment along a slightly turned axis. The Neue Synagoge is also a monument of early iron construction. The new building material (iron was previously not used in building construction) was visible in its use for the outside columns, as well as in the domes construction. (Iron was also a core component for the now-lost floor structure of the main hall.)� ( New S...

Statue of Karl Friedrich Schinkel by Friedrich Drake, 1869 Schinkelplatz Berlin, September 2011 �Schinkel, however, is noted as much for his theoretical work and his architectural drafts as for the relatively few buildings that were actually executed to his designs. Some of his merits are best shown in his unexecuted plans for the transformation of the Athenian Acropolis into a royal palace for the new Kingdom of Greece and for the erection of the Orianda Palace in the Crimea. These and other designs may be studied in his Sammlung architektonischer Entw�rfe (1820�1837) and his Werke der h�heren Baukunst (1840�1842; 1845�1846). He also designed the famed Iron Cross medal of Prussia, and later Germany.
