Transmediale '08 'Conspire'- Berlin

part 5

The Bauhaus was quite a highlight of the trip to Berlin, well worth a look to see more of the history and style of the movement. There was some great pictures and objects in the exhibition, the chess set and some of the pots and vases were very impressive (the prices of some contempory versions in the shop were also spectacular!). The graphic design of the posters can be seen in a great many things today, the bauhaus stle and influence has spread far and wide. The building itself was a little less impressive than i had imagined, but style had an interesting archecturial style.

The archecture in and around this area was also very impressive, seemingly each building following it's own design, making the whole district varied and diverse. Berlin had some outstanding buildings, the Reitstag being one highlight, though i never made it into the glass dome, something for my next trip.

Other highlights in Berlin include the trip to the famed Panorama Bar. It was a mission and a half to find, but this served to make it all the more rewarding an experience one wee were there.
