Welcome to the Anthropocene

Explored 5 August 2021

 

How do we want to live in the (near) future? In decent conditions as well as environmentally and climate friendly? How should we plan the cities of the future? How should we get from A to B? How will we work, and how will we feed the world? All of these and many more topics regarding "The Age of Man" are being debated at the Futurium, " a house of the future", and a project initiative of scientific institutions and networks of several business enterprises and foundations as well as the German Federal Government in Berlin. The Futurium is not a "museum" in the classical sense, but more of an "activity place" which houses an exhibition, and also a so-called "Futurium Lab" where visitors can activily test out some the exhibits. The Futurium opened in 2019 and is located alongside the banks of the river Spree, close to Berlin's Central Station, the Hauptbahnhof.

 

I've taken this image at the exhibition on the first floor of the Futurium. It's an HDR made of three images, processed in HDR Efex Pro. And since there are huge windows on the part of the building that is facing the Spree and the government district, it's also an image for Window Wednesday :)

 

HWW, Everyone, and have a safe and good second half of the week!

 

Wilkommen im Anthropozän

 

Wie wollen wir in der Zukunft leben? Wie wollen wir unsere Städte umwelt- und klimafreundlich (um-)gestalten? Wie werden wir zukünftig von A nach B kommen? Und wie werden wir die Welt ernähren? Diese und andere Zukunftsthemen, die sich um das Zeitalter des Menschen, in dem wir uns befinden, drehen, kann man im Futurium erörtern, diverse Antworten darauf finden und, zum Teil, neue Technologien selbst ausprobieren (im Futurium Lab). 2019 eröffnet und in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Hauptbahnhof entlang der Spree gelegen, ist das Futurium ein lohnendes Ziel, auch für Fotografen :) Dieses Foto habe ich in der großen Austellungshalle im 1. Stock gemacht, das neben interessanten, skulpturartigen Exponaten auch einen tollen Blick auf die Spree und das nahe Regierungsviertel bietet.

 

Ich wünsche Euch eine entspannte Restwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
