The Cube Berlin: A window washer's dream. Or nightmare? And a friendly reminder to myself that now that the scaffolding in front of our part of the house is finally, finally gone, I should clean the windows, because they look terrible after the renovation. But it's winter, right? Much too cold to clean the windows, because I don't want to heat the street, right? And please don't say "That's procrastination!". It's just common sense. Yes. It is. Definitely :)
Fragmente der Großstadt
Der Cube Berlin mit seiner rundherum verglasten, pyramidenförmig nach innen gefalteten Fassade ist sicherlich eines jeden Fensterputzers Traum. Oder eher Albtraum? Die auf Hochglanz polierte Glaskonstruktion erinnert mich auf jeden Fall auch daran, dass ich nun, da das Baugerüst endlich von unserem Teil des Hauses verschwunden ist, eigentlich Fenster putzen sollte, denn sie sehen trotz Schutzfolie (die allerdings ein wenig zu früh wieder entfernt wurde) einfach schrecklich aus. Also Albtraum. Aber wir haben ja noch Winter und draußen ist es kalt. Und ich möchte bestimmt nicht nach draußen heizen. Schließlich sollen wir Energie sparen. Sagt hier jetzt jemand etwa "Verzögerungstaktik, Ausrede!"? Aber nein, das ist bloß gesunder Menschenverstand, nicht wahr? Eben :)

View down the central funnel inside of the Reichstag dome on top of the Reichstag building, the seat of the German parliament (the Bundestag). The funnel is a so-called "light-diverting element" with mirrors that guides diffuse daylight into the plenary hall of the German Bundestag ten meters below and also serves as an exhaust "pipe" that deflects used air from the plenary hall through the 10-meter-wide central opening at the apex of the dome (which you can't see here).
For whatever reason the checked "pattern" of the reflective windows on the funnel's base (theoretically one could take a look into the plenary hall) always reminds me of a gambling table at a casino, hence the title which I've borrowed from one of the best James Bond movies (and I also like the 1967 parody). But of course, there's nothing "royale" or "gambling-ish" about this profoundly democratic place (which, as you know, it hasn't always been). Surrounding the funnel's base you can find the permanent exhibition "From the Reichstag to the Bundestag" which tells the eventful history of the Reichstag building from its beginnings to the present day.
Happy Window Wednesday, Everyone :)
