Architecture of power is, after all, designed to impress, and it usually succeeds in doing so. However, it’s important to keep the historical context in mind. In Berlin, we also have a number of colossal buildings from other regimes that are impressive at first glance and, at the same time, serve as reminders to uphold democracy and human rights as the highest values of civilization. I particularly liked how the poised lady who guided us through the building consistently placed the gigantism we were experiencing in its historical context in a clear and critical manner!
