with: Nordic Embassies

The Nordic countries are known not only for outstanding design and architecture, but for other innovative ideas as well — one of which has been around in Berlin-Tiergarten for almost 20 years. When the diplomatic corps moved from Bonn to Berlin in the 1990s, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden agreed on a common building complex that would demonstrate their close ties while representing each country’s cultural identity. How is everyday life behind the green-copper band? Does the architecture affect Nordic collaboration? Long-time employees show the building complex, and talk about architecture, the five countries, and give insights into today’s tasks of embassies.
