A local would say...

Foster wrapped a century of trauma in glass and light — walking the dome's spiral ramp is like reading German history from the inside out.

Germany's parliament building topped by Norman Foster's stunning glass dome — a masterwork of levity injected into a structure burdened with the weight of history. The dome is one of Berlin's most beloved landmarks and offers sweeping 360-degree views of the city. It sits just north of the Brandenburger Tor on the Spree riverbank.
