31/03 - 02/04 - Architecture of Berlin

Six years have passed since I last visited Berlin.

Dust settled and glass towers erected. Bold efforts in contemporary architecture signify the German determination to remake Berlin. Foster, Sauerbruch Hutton, Koolhaas, Libeskind, Eisenman, Behnisch Architekten and Pei are some of the many that have contributed to the remaking.

A unified Berlin is indeed still a very young city. Human activities have yet fully utilized the potentials of this multi-layered capital. It will be interesting to see how Berlin evolves in coming decades as urban diversity and commercial business gradually take shape.

Today, Berlin serves well as an open-air museum of great architecture.
