The German capital is characterized by a lively, heterogeneous and innovative architectural scene with high technical and design standards. Berlin Architecture serves as a showcase of Berlin's architectural output. Each of the eight chapters features essays on current issues, trends and developments that provide reflective insights and accompany the exemplary collection of around 70 projects.
The chapter on residential architecture, for example, discusses the interest of creative urban clients in the high-rise apartment buildings of the 1960s and 1970s that were frowned upon for a long time. Another essay focuses on the different aspects of corporate architecture as 'constructed logos'. Other topics include the importance of archeological display areas for urban planning or new chances for architecture through privately sponsored museums.
