The city's architecture doesn't seem to adhere to any system or style. Amongst grand buildings that are in keeping with each other, there will suddenly be a bright red modern complex right in the middle. Rather than being a punch in the face, it actually caters for a 'wow effect'. Whilst sitting on the Ubahn going from West to East one drives past hundreds of houses. Some are built in the normal European style (although what counts as 'normal' these days?), some are modern, some are ueber-modern, graffiti on the walls that are in fact, impressive. They add character, a reminder that you're amongst the creative capital that is Berlin.
It doesn't portray bad taste, it isn't disrespectful. It makes you think. Why is this building here? How does it fit in with the rest of the block? It doesn't you realise, and your awe is heightened. Amongst thematic buildings, stands a modern building. The architecture is daring. It stands out. Glass, steel, wood; all combined for a breath-taking design.
Berlin. A city of life, culture, design and colour. The autumn trees add to the nostalgia and the sun reflecting off the building adds the finishing touch to a picture perfect sight.
