You're standing at the Berliner Philharmonie, home of the famous Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Take a good look at its shape. The building is lopsided, irregular and looks a bit like a giant tent. You'll struggle to find a straight line anywhere. That's exactly what architect Hans Scharoun had in mind.
