Along the Spree

Here is the Fernsehturm or Television Tower, beyond the Spree River. Rivers tell you much about a city, especially along their banks. For example you can gauge how dirty a city is by seeing what drains into its rivers during a heavy rain, or you can discover forgotten industrial sites or curiously styled architecture that is not described in any guide book that you may have on hand. You see, I find these buildings visually appealing, with blocky pillars that rise up from the river, step by step, toward the sky; and background buildings providing streamlined waves of postmodern contrast. Do these building blend or progress from old to new? Is this'Bauhaus'? I have not yet found any reference to these buildings.


And what about this last building? So modern. As far as the location of these buildings, I think I crossed over the Spree River into Friedrichshain on the Warschauer Str. bridge. If not, then it was Lichtenberger Str. bridge. I should find myself an architectural historian, I think. Any Berliners out there who can help?
... I continue to piece together the puzzle.
