Zoofenster, Berlin Charlottenburg

(ISO 100, f8 @ 22mm, 6sec., 01:31) The structure in the center is called Zoofenster and at just under 119 m, it is one of Berlin’s tallest buildings. It was designed by Christoph Mäckler and opened in January 2013. This is the view from the train station Zoologischer Garten. That building dates back to 1882.

(ISO 100, f16 @ 30mm, 1/80sec., 12:12) This is the dead tree stump of a rainforest species on the left side of the image and it sits right in front of the building’s main entrance.

Don’t let this architecture mislead you, yes, it is brutalist but at…
