almost twenty nine years since the wall opened up and the divided city was once again reunited now there are little traces from where the wall once stood and the empty spaces that once labeled deathtraps are now bustling with activity but thanks to one photographer hans mendo we can be reminded of the way things used to look. berlin's potsdamer platz was once a wasteland traces of which are now hard to find even for hans to be amanda who spent years photographing it. it's impossible to locate the exact position today really very difficult the key artists were over there. that was back then in the shadow of the wall right across the street didn't exist this is bought some a strong. this must be the spot approximately. he's talking about the vantage point for one of his photos the image doesn't show what one would expect the death strip barriers border guards men to wasn't interested in the berlin wall itself his focus was on the barren spaces along the border where hunger hung on these areas of waste land had a very graphic quality. around there were wide open spaces empty buildings the wall was like a ribbon and as it cut through the city it created urban landscapes that

study photography in west berlin the city's residents had been surrounded by the wall since one thousand nine hundred sixty one and had learned to live with it or rather to ignore it as best they

lived here northeast of atlanta event daughter isabelle who lent her name to the family home. welcome to my house. from the front door you can see all the way through to the garden and the swimming

kitchen is designed for me i like like that. the architect wanted the sonic dining table to form a line with the kitchen. but that proved to be impractical to walk around the same time i think. that's a long way so we turn to the. police down a little bit and then we can quickly skip through that bit there which makes it a lot easier when you're putting your feet on the table every day and stuff like that so your architect a great idea is that sometimes you can change a little things here on. the staircase of the multi-story building with four hundred square metres of living space is decorated with a motif that features a plexiglass space perspectives. the master bedroom on the first floor is decorated in quite patient earth tones in harmony with the wooden structures on the ground floor. as is the color scheme in the living room. and built in wardrobe is hidden behind the dark blue wooden more living room is the focal point of the house. normally we'd sort of turn the lights down and and just relax is one of the if i don't say the only lounge that we have really sat down on enjoy and drink usually not their homes that we have to leave before never happened this is.
