ICC Berlin

before i even imagined of moving to Berlin, somewhere in the 80's, i saw some shots of this building in a movie and i was deeply impressed by its bionic architecture. a huge spaceship on earth.
the Internationales Congress Centrum Berlin (most known as ICC Berlin) was opened in 1979 (four years after the official "end" of the space race between USA and USSR). it was designed by the architects Ralf Schueler and Ursulina Schueler - Witte. the building is 320 metres long, 80 metres wide and 40 metres high, perhaps one of the largest conference centers in the world. its particular "machine like" architecture made it a landmark of the post-war German architecture in Berlin.
