This image was taken inside the Technische Universität Berlin Institut für Architektur. The building is at the corner of Marchstrasse and Strasse des 17. Juni. From the outside, the structure appears a bit run down, but you'll know it‘s the right building because you can see the staircases from the exterior.
Enter the building and walk toward the staircases. You may be asked by the university staff to show your student or teacher ID. If so, be polite and say that you're a visitor. You can explain that you came to see the famous architectural interior and there shouldn't be a problem.
I took this photo from the top floor, looking down onto the staircase. For this perspective, I suggest photographing the staircase that points southwest, toward the Ernst-Reuter-Platz roundabout park. Walk up the stairs until you reach the top floor and then look down below to see the amazing view.
Remember, professional photography is not allowed in this building. You may take your camera, but I recommend bringing a mobile phone so you aren't asked to leave.
By subway:
- Closest station: Ernst-Reuter-Platz (via line U2)
- Head northeast toward Str. des 17. Juni/B2/B5
- Exit the roundabout onto Marchstraße and the destination will be on your right
