barefoot in berlin
The open road, nothing but my good friend Henning’s wonderful violet bike and my trusty pluggers (flip flops, thongs…whatever) then all of a sudden…..a sharp corner, some furios peddling, the brakes slam on…..we have a blow out…. no not the bike, my trusty pluggers have decided to call it a day leaving me ‘barefoot in Berlin’. After some careful consideration i decided the only sensible thing to do would be to visit Daniel Libeskind’s famed Jewish Museum. After my previous Libeskind experience i thought i would be in for a treat this time, and if not the novelty of my exposed digits would provide a novel distraction to any unispiring architecture. After managing to wander in barefooted past the security (minus my swiss army knife) i thought i would make use of this uniquely tactile experience by documenting a footographic account of the building.
To be honest the tactile qualities and the building in general were pretty disappointing, but it was definately fun, so much so that i recommend all dedicated students of architecture to go on barefoot tours of their favourite buildings today!
