Radialsystem V
In September 2006, Radialsystem V was opened as a new creative space for the arts in Berlin. Formerly a turn of the century pumping station for the Berlin Wasserwerke (Berlin Water Services), Radialsystem V - situated in the urban centre of Berlin between the boroughs of Friedrichshain, Mitte and Kreuzberg - currently functions as a cultural centre where new ideas 'radiate' out in all directions, attracting artists and audiences from within as well as beyond the city limits of Berlin.

The conceptual direction of Radialsystem V is closely connected to the structure and aesthetics of the building. Particular importance is ascribed to the architecture: It allows the simultaneous use of the facilities by artistic productions, venue hire and gastronomic services.
The building follows the principle 'form follows function'. All areas can be used flexibly and can be transformed as needed. For example, the entire building can be quickly turned into a temporary exhibition space, a concert venue or a dance labyrinth, and then quickly be rearranged in order to make room for congresses, trade shows, symposia, media events and receptions.
