Abstract
"The abandoned buildings of Berlin are part of the human cultural heritage that carries the story of the city and this part of human history. The fast-growing city and the influence of modern, global human problems necessitate new ways of dealing with buildings and neglected urban spaces. The Incomplete Story is a study that deals with human cultural heritage as one universal issue. The aim of this study is to provide an example of how to re-use an abandoned building based on human cultural practices that can have a positive impact on cities and the connections between nations. This is achieved through presenting a proposed design for The Eisfabrik as an example. The methods used in the thesis are theoretical research into human cultural heritage and preservation and restoration methods, followed by a case study on three contemporary examples of the re-use of buildings that have had a significant impact on their cities and human cultural heritage. The results show that turning the Eisfabrik into a Live Museum will have an outstanding positive impact on the city and on humanity. As it connects humans and places together. It also shows that studying buildings can be a point of inspiration regarding future usage and create a cultural spot that works complementarily with the city story and the community. The thesis also shows that the Eisfabrik has the potential to be nominated for the World Heritage list. Future research, and further methods to achieve this great step, are recommended in order to rescue the Eisfabrik and create a new landmark and cultural attraction in Berlin."
