An ode to the city  

A wistful emphasis on the second “Berlin” and the sadness of a landscape subject to the scars of persistent failings comes to mind. Change tones and the utterance of the second is an affirmation of the city’s unmatched will to try again, a drive to excel and refusal to be forgotten. The simple act of naming provides the source for inspiration. No other city represents the historical developments of Western society in the 20th century better than Berlin. The series of ideologies, wars, economic systems and sociological philosophies have all, for better or worse, left a physical mark on the city.
