The DZ Bank Building stands at Pariser Platz 3 in Berlin and was formerly the DG Bank Building. Frank Gehry designed it, with Hans Schober of Schlaich Bergermann & Partner as engineer. It was built from 1998 to 2000 and is the headquarters of Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank. The article does not name a client explicitly and states no dimensions.
It is a mixed-use building with offices, a conference or performance atrium and 39 apartments. The offices face the Brandenburg Gate, and the apartments face Behrenstraße.
The article describes a curved form typical of Gehry and a sophisticated glass-grid roof over the atrium. Deconstructivism is an assumption based on the architect. The offices and apartments are in the same building, with the apartments on the Behrenstraße side.
