Berlin ... auf wiedersehen - 1 "... the city is much more than a collection of buildings, institutions, streets or squares ...
the city is a way of being, is a mood, an atmosphere spirit, a feeling. The city is an emotion. "
Berlin is an emotion.
Start with this speech by Renzo Piano, the project coordinator Berlin that led to a push towards the future. Witness what is Potsdamer Platz, the most destroyed by war and postwar no man's land during the period of the wall, turned in the district of Europe's most important contemporary architecture. Now you have created a unique and harmonious whole by the futuristic shape.
Brademburgo Gate, Unter den Linden, they show sumptuous buildings, witnesses of history along this street marched the troops of Napoleon, Hitler's Nazi Blackshirts, the Red Army under Stalin, and finally, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Berliners all free.
I leave about the other photos.
Berlin is a city in constant evolution, in transformation, characterized by an absolute heterogeneity of streets and squares, each district has different aims and cultural identity, Berlin, a city where young turn in car superfluous. Get your bike and go, or use public transport.
I am the last day. Take the Metro, line 9, around 20 minutes without taking his eyes from the window, follow the contours of this city in perfect growth in a harmonious change. In 'I-pod concert Allevi hides all the noise outside.
I, always curious, eternally fascinated by the world, and I and the images that run away and change all the time behind the window, and I and the music that rocks me nicely.
And so farewell Berlin, in a big thrill!
