The Messe Berlin

As the locals and any visiter will comment, Berlin's most obvious characteristic is its scale. Everything is monumental and spacious in Berlin, the roads are wide and the buildings huge. For a visiter it takes a while to understand how long it takes to get places compared to London or Paris. The Messe Berlin, my place of work for three days, is a prime example of this. The security guard told me it takes fortyfive minutes to walk around half of it.
It's an uninspiring yet interesting building. A venue for temporary conferences, shows and exhibitions, it was very plain and clinical, chunky and severe.
