Modern architectural theory teaches us
00:00:04.033 --> 00:00:06.566
that the design of a building can be derived
00:00:06.667 --> 00:00:10.824
from the best possible realization of its intended use
00:00:11.458 --> 00:00:13.074
Form follows function
00:00:13.708 --> 00:00:16.999
In the centre of Berlin now stands
00:00:16.167 --> 00:00:19.116
a museum built in the 21st century
00:00:20.075 --> 00:00:23.991
in the form of an 18th century ruler's palace
00:00:25.325 --> 00:00:29.899
The deceptive part lies in the hypothesis that this makes no real difference
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.824
which is the same as claiming
00:00:33.459 --> 00:00:35.991
that progress is impossible
