TITLE: Bierpinsel

The Bierpinsel (or beer brush, as it is unofficially known) is a 47-meter-high building built in 1976. It is noted for its futuristic architecture and is part of the pop art movement. The building has been listed as a protected structure since January 2017. Photo taken in Berlin, Germany

A monumental tribute to brutalist architecture, this photograph captures the imposing presence of a concrete giant. Rising starkly against the dark sky, the angular and geometric structure exudes both power and isolation. The deep shadows and dramatic lighting emphasize its raw, unapologetic form, while the precise composition highlights its sculptural quality. This architectural icon, often polarizing in its aesthetic, stands as a testament to a bygone era of bold urban design.
