Ministry of the Interior

The Bundesministerium des Innern und für Heimat (BMI) is Germany's Federal Ministry of the Interior. The agency moved into its new home in the center of Berlin, just behind the Bundeskanzleramt (Chancellery), in 2015. Work continues today as a new tower is under construction. The BMI manages several law enforcement agencies, including the Bundespolizei (Federal Police), and oversees the Bundesverfassungsschutz (domestic intelligence agency).

I visited the BMI "Tag der offenen Tür" (Open House) in 2022, where I got to see various exhibitions about modern security and investigative techniques, as well as tour the massive facility and its two internal courtyards. I was impressed by the clean and consistent geometry of the architecture. When it dawned on me that the courtyard hedges form a footprint and fingerprint to be seen from space, I knew I had to recreate this epic modern complex. I found it interesting and thought provoking that a federal security agency could have such an oddly charming representation of aspects of a crime scene!
