Fodor's Expert Review Planet Modulor

Billed as a creative center, this complex of shops, offices, and meeting spaces on Moritzplatz is a step toward revitalizing the once-shabby and still fairly empty square. Its unusual, hulking shape seems designed to attract attention; it may also inspire some local disdain. But one visit is all it takes to appreciate how well the complex represents the Berlin aesthetic: small and mid-size companies share space with craft and designer workshops, an art bookstore, a café, an outpost of the beloved kitchenware company Coledampf’s, and even a kindergarten.
