For the seat of the German government, architects Axel Schultes and Charlotte Frank developed an overall design intended to symbolically unite the formerly divided city. In the location of the historic Embassy Row that was completely destroyed during the war, there is now a campus of buildings consisting of the chancellery by Schultes and Frank, Paul-Löbe- and Marie-Elisabeth Lüders-Haus by Stephan Braunfels and the German parliament by Lord Norman Foster with its distinctive accessible glass dome atop the plenary chamber.
