When the roof of this modernist, extravagant building in Berlin came down in 1980 I watched the news on TV. An early memory of mine #ThrowbackThursday .
I was just a handful years old and could remember having played inside the large hall all day in the big LEGO exhibition and playground just days before this collapse happened - it had been a super fun day, kids everywhere and so much LEGO to build with! That afternoon I had been pondering to ask my parents to go again. - No, it wasn't to happen, it was years before the building and its architecture was restored again.
(Oh, and btw this is the same roof and building used in the 2005 Aeon Flux movie.)
