East Side Gallery

I was planning to go see a few things on Sunday, but most of them were a bust. I headed to see the Zaha Hadid exhibit with some other students and Mr. Caldwell, but it turned out to be closed on Sundays, so hopefully I'll get to see it another time. We also went to the German Architecture Center, but it had an exhibit on skateboarding accross the world. We did end up seeing some architecture though. We walked by the GSW building and we also went to the East Side Gallery were the longest stretch of Wall remains. Although we thought we had arrived there, about a block before, it turned out to be an abandoned building that was spraypainted (we still took pictures). Around the corned we found the real wall, and it made much more sense, and it seemed to go on forever. Most of the wall was sectioned off and murals were painted on the side that faced the street, on the otherside, it was more public friendly and it was just spraypainted sparatically. There was even someone there spraypainting when we got there, and no one really paid any mind to it.

 What we thought was part of the wall at first.


 A building we walked in, because it looked cool. The atrium was cool, because you could see straight through the building because of the amount of glass.
 The actual wall, the side facign the park.
