Roundabout consists of a street sign for the Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin, extended to accommodate all its historical names. Wilhelmstrasse, a main street that served as the center of the German government until 1945, has undergone name changes according to prevailing political circumstances. It was successively called Husarenstrasse (1731), Wilhelmstrasse (1740), Otto-Grotewohl-Strasse (1964), Toleranzstrasse (1991, although never implemented), and again Wilhelmstrasse (1993).
   Roundabout embodies this history with a sign that is cyclical rather than directional. The street names are depicted in their historical typography. On the sign’s inside, the names are written in chronological order from top to bottom, and on the outside from bottom to top.
