[4K] Berlin - new headquarters for the spies - imposing or megalomaniac?

The new headquarters for the German Intelligence Service in Berlin, officially opened in 2019, is the second largest building in Berlin, four times the size of the Federal Chancellery. With 14,000 darkened and tap-proof windows. The architecture of the BND building was criticized from the start.
Where and in what surroundings is the new BND headquarters located? How does the building look? Is it imposing, colossal, monumental or megalomaniac? Did it succeed or was it a disaster? Is it appropriate for the BND? Does it fit into its environment? What do critics and supporters write about the new building of the BND? What is the poetry of the building?
I try to answer these questions on this city tour in the series "Berlin explained".
I am really looking forward to the comments!
I also address Daniel Libeskind's Sapphire in this Berlin video. The eye-catching building is directly opposite the main entrance of the BND.
And at the end of the video, I'll go into the history of the area.

You can see a collection of modern and tasteful buildings on the Spree. Nice colors! The BND building does not break too much with the environment, at least in height of the buildings. Peru how much it costs to clean all those windows! Greetings from the south of the world

This seems to rival Göring’s Air Ministry…has the same sort of sinister look and feel. The man would be proud!!….it would have been far better executed if the buildings were sunk a little and hidden behind more traditional Berlin street facades and greenery to try and hide its monolithic bulk. It looks rather bare, foreboding and stark and reminiscent of another time altogether, not really in keeping with the modern Federal Republic. Anyway, it’s there now. Those tall palms look rather odd in that setting too. Grüss aus Australien!!

prima. aber bitte nicht 'feed', sondern 'meter'verwenden. auch global sind sich laegst die meisten einig (gibt auch massig videos darueber), dass die masseinheiten, die noch in den USA und wenig anderen laendern verwendet wird, voellig ueberholt ist und endlich jeder zum metrischen system (wie 97% des planeten) wechseln sollten. die amis versuchten das auch in der vergangenheit ab und an (bzw. das metrische system ist eh eigentlich die basis), aber die gewohnheiten machen es natuerlich schwer. so oder so, niemand sollte mehr 'feed/meilen' oder so verwenden. bessere englishsprachige videos (andere und wissenschaftliche eh) verwenden laegst das metrische system oder zumindest beides - auch die meisten informierten us youtuber ...
