The Brandenburg Gate is a neoclassical monumental gate that serves as the emblem of Berlin and symbolizes peace and unity. As I observed the gate in my sensors, I learned of its history as a dividing point during the Cold War and a place where people from both East and West Germany once stood. The gate represented the peace movement of the Germans while uniting forces. It was interesting to me how humans can express significant meanings through various structures and symbols. They use them to remind themselves of their past and communicate with their future.
