Laden with symbolism and history meant that any new development of Potsdamer Platz after reunification had to be considered very carefully. Models, drawings and plans of projects are displayed from the original urban development competition announced by the Berlin Senate in 1991, including the prize-winning design by Heinz Hilmer and Christoph Sattler, as well as examples from the second competition announced by DaimlerChrysler and the Berlin Senate in 1992. The final plan selected, by Renzo Piano and Christoph Kohlbecker, and work on individual plans, including buildings by Piano, Kohlbecker, Arata Isozaki, Richard Rogers and Hans Kollhoff, are presented as works in progress, recording the architects developing ideas. Planning Potsdamer Platz - An Urban Experiment in Central Berlin is a Sydney Festival 2001 event. City Exhibition Space is the sole Australian venue for this exhibition.
