Potsdamer Platz & Sony Center, Berlin Photos

During the era of the Berlin Wall, Potsdamer Platz which had once been a vibrant commercial center became a hard to reach isolated island. After the fall of the Wall, this large tract of land became the focus of serious redevelopment. In 2000, Architect Helmut Jahn created 8 stunning buildings of Sony Center & DB tower most covered with a grand glass roof & surrounded by fountains plus gardens. The surrounding area was soon complemented by other modern architecture.
