When I was thinking about the presentation, the word 'connection' somehow stuck in my mind. The urban space can either connect or disconnect people. Berlin is my third place of residence over the last 19 years, so I was wondering whether I feel myself connected to the city and through the city to myself. Thus, if the cityscape is a medium for connection, what embodies this idea of connectivity? My first reaction was the following list: 1. railway stations/airports/ports 2. S-Bahn or U-Bahn 3. Internet (since Berliner Fernsehturm is a very 'touristy' site, I have chosen the Funkturm as an object of my particular interest). Was any of these initial answers the indicator of connection for me? We will discover it together when we reach ,y final destination that day.

What have always fascinated me about the S-Bahn station located nearby my WG is the fact that one has to gaze at the crossroads from the upper viewpoint (in other words, it is an upside-down perspective). Moscow, on the other hand, offers a diametrically opposed perspective which is 'downside-up'. Yet, it is, indeed, an eye-opening experience to realize that there is no singularly right perspective as every city has its own optics.

The Anhalter Bahnhof reminds me of the Roman arches located at various points that served as city entrances. In fact, in the 20th century the railway satiation was a sort of monumental gateway (the Propylaea) to Berlin. Now only these ruins are still preserved for curious onlookers.

The Ministry of Finance reminded me a lot of the German Foreign Service building in Moscow: grey concrete formidable fortress that seems brutal and unapproachable.
