German Architect Wants to Build World's Largest Artificial Mountain



The artificial mountain known as "The Berg" would provide a tourist landmark and skiing for Berlin

If you're not sold on the awe-inspiring grandeur of this mountain, we'll let the "Berg manifesto" speak for itself -- and throw in some smack talk about other German cities in the bargain.

Hamburg, as stiff as fat, turns green with envy, rich and once proud Munich starts to feel ashamed of its distant Alp-panorama and planners of the Middle-East, experienced in taking the spell off any kind of architectural utopia immediately design authentic copies of the iconic Berlin-Mountain.
Perhaps something was lost in the translation there. Either way, we're looking forward to the next Bond movie where 007 rallies the neighborhood associations and fights a morass of city zoning laws to stop ... "The Berg."
