The thing I probably got most excited about in Berlin was a building by a French-speaking Swiss architect. What can I say? I love brutalist architecture, and Le Corbusier is the ur-Brutalist.

I have to say though: at the time, the Corbusierhaus was considered massive. But when you look at it now, when you compare it to contemporary achitecture it doesn't actually look that huge. The detailing and variance Le Corbusier put in the building makes it look human in scale. Which of course was his original meaning, but it's something later achitecture has lost all sight of.
