A super short visit to a gray Berlin and the Bauhaus archive!
On the way to China I had eleven hours it transit time, to wait for my travelling companions and the flight to Beijing, before we on barking to our adventure in China. This meant I had time to meet an old friend of mine (she flew up from Munich just to spend the day with me in Berlin).
In Berlin I had the third breakfast of the day (hade one at 5-home and one at 6.30 on the plane)and the best one. After having a short stroll around Alex with the TV-tower designed by Herman Henselmann disappearing in to the clouds, we made our way to the Bauhaus Archive designed by Walter Gropius in 1964 but building work did not start on till 12 years later. Currently the archive has an exhibition on “Chairs without Legs” (21/3 – 10/6 2012) many constructed under the Bauhaus era but also newer designs relating to the movement.
