The Sony Centre

The Sony Centre is a modern structure in the heart of Berlin, in close proximity to Potsdam Platz.


Whilst you can't really say Berlin is old, as much of the city was destroyed during the second world war, the old bombed out materials were reused to rebuild the city in pretty much the style of the old city. After all, it is what they knew and much of Europe is built in the same style throughout.


The dome is an elegant structure housing a series of shops and restaurants on the lower levels, one being none other than Sony Corporation, the Japanese tech giant. I found out much to my displeasure on a rainy Berlin summer's day, the dome was not designed to withstand the element of precipitation, strange for a city that rains so much.
