Berlin Day 5

August 9, 2012 12:09 AM

I feel like today was architecture-pilgrimage day. We went to the Bauhaus-archive where they have works (of students and teachers) from the Bauhaus. They even built a model of Mies van der Rohe's glass tower and a model of the Bauhaus building in Dessau.

Then for today (and tomorrow) we're looking at social housing from the 1920s/30s and 1950s. We saw buildings by Walter Gropius from the 1930s. Also we saw Le Corbusier's Unité d'habitacion in Berlin. It's the same idea as the other Unité projects, but it's a little smaller. I pretty much died.

We also booked a dinner/classical concert at the Schloss Charlottenburg.
It was a 3-course meal...and it was AMAZING.
