Architechno: Bunker Berlin

From a prisoner of war camp by the Nazi Germany to ‘the most hardcore club in the world’. This what Bunker (Berlin) is.

Firstly , it was built by Nazi Germany, planned by Karl Bonatz in 1943, it was prepared to shelter up 3,000 Reichsbahn train passengers -which its alternative name Reichsbahnbunker was taken from- then Russia's Red army took it over and turned it into a prisoner of war camp.

In 1949, it was used as a tropical fruits storage facility. Till then; there was nothing unconventional but the real unconventional thing here that in the summer of 1992 Bunker Berlin turned into A hardcore techno club yet it was “most hardcore club in the world”, hosting some of the most legendary and debauched illegal raves the could take four out of its five levels. but the party was over because the city was cracked down in 1996.

And finally in 2002 Christian Boros purchased the building and turned it into an art house. and by the way, the Boros family have an apartment on the top floor.

And the question here is "what kind of building that could be a hardcore techno club but previously was a prisoner of war camp?" Bunker Berlin has an area of 1,000 square meters and 18 meters high. it has 120 rooms on five floors, the building gets your interest from the first sight, the atmosphere of WW2 combined with modern Art, such a combination you will never find anywhere but in Bunker Berlin.

This is how the Architecture and Techno can be combined!
