Last year whilst in Berlin i visited the Reichstag Dome, design by Norman Foster. Foster and Partners won a commission in 1992 to transform the building into the new home for the unified German Parliament. The Foster team's design focuses on making the processes of government more transparent.
The dome is a gleaming metal and glass structure with a ramp that spirals up a to a roof terrace with 360-degree views of central Berlin. Its a greta experience being up there as you can really get a grasp on how Berlin is laid out. The design also preserves remnants of the building's colorful past, including graffiti left by the Red Army in 1945.
