Just got back from the German capital and really fell in love with the place. The modern architecture beats London hands down. After the wall came down every big architect seems to have designed in Berlin- Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers and Frank Gehry are all there somewhere.
My favourites though were Brit Norman Foster's reworking of the Reichstag (including the psychedelic dome above) and Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum. The latter is disorientating, challenging, uncomfortable and well, just scary. See below.
