Beyond The Blinds

Question: How to save an important historical building from being forgotten?

In September 2013 I had the opportunity to capture, for the first time in the history of the building, the abandoned laboratories of the Robert-Koch-Forum in Berlin. This building, built between 1873 and 1883 for the Friedrich-Wilhelm University (today Humboldt University) to house the institutes of science and medicine, was named after Professor Robert Koch, who shared his discovery of the tuberculosis pathogen in the library of this institute.

As these images are inserted in a fascinating historical context, they enable us to go back over some events of the science's history as well as the city's history.
