Sir David Chipperfield, who was responsible for the recreation of Berlin's Neues Museum, has won the Mies van der Rohe award for 2011. The mid-19th-century museum suffered severe damage during WWII and, until 2003, was used as storage for the other museums on Berlin's Museum Island.
Reconstruction began in 2003, with the result being a blend of the old 19th-century building and the modern restorations.
