Berlin

Berlin has proved to be an active stage for all the most important
social transformations since the 20th century, marking a blurred
boundary between Baroque and contemporary, within which fervent cultural
and intellectual seasons, plans for massive industrialisation, World
Wars, the establishment of schools of architecture and modern thought
destined to make history have taken hold. A veritable laboratory of
urban planning and architecture in continuous evolution, which still
today constitutes a composite landscape of experiments in social urban
planning, of mending the urban fabric between east and west, of places
of representation of ministries, embassies and parliament between the
Tiergarten and the Spree, of redesigning public space according to the
model of critical reconstruction as can be seen at Bundeshauptsadt,
Postdamer Platz and Friedrichstadt to which the major exponents of
international modern architecture have contributed, and of building a
cultural planning whose highest expression is the Museum Island, the
most famous museum complex in the world.
