🤍 The Breathing Dome of the Reichstag Building 🏛️

🤍 You need to book in advance on the official website for the Reichstag Building in Germany 🩵 Free to visit, and with audio guides! Walking around the dome, you gain a lot of knowledge, and the platform also offers a panoramic view of the entire city of Berlin. It's one of the must-visit attractions. The modern glass dome of the Reichstag Building that we see today was designed by British architect Norman Foster in the 90s, and this dome has made the Reichstag Building an architecture that can breathe. Inside the transparent dome, there stands an inverted conical glass reflective structure resembling a vortex, extending from the top of the dome down to the lower parliamentary hall. The surface of the inverted conical structure is neatly covered with mirrors, introducing outdoor light into the interior of the parliamentary hall, solving the problem of lighting sources during the day. The multi-layered glass used, which has ultraviolet resistance and heat insulation effects, avoids light pollution and excessive heat caused by direct sunlight. As a building that can breathe, the circular hole in the dome can vent the hot air gathered in the upper part to the outdoors and recover thermal energy through a heat exchanger. At the same time, it introduces fresh air, which is evenly distributed to the walls and floors of the hall, reducing the noise produced by ventilation equipment. Also, rainwater during rainfall is collected in the inverted cone for cooling in summer, and the members of parliament below are not affected by the rain during meetings. Truly a leader in architecture and industry, Germany 👏 #Berlin#ReichstagBuilding#ReichstagDome#GermanyTravel
