About this book

The book takes the reader on an architectural discovery tour of Berlin. It gives an impressive insight into the latest architecture of the German capital: Distinctive buildings, urban spaces and places characterising urban everyday life in the city are presented in texts, photographs and plans. The scope includes shiny new constructions such as the Futurium or the Park am Gleisdreieck. The editors focus on major architectural and urban planning milestones of the past 13 years such as the large new construction of the Axel Springer building by OMA or the Museumsinsel. Smaller discoveries such as the Grüne Haus by Simon + Brandt and hidden treasures such as the Wohnregal by FAR Frohn & Rojas in Wedding are also included. The documentation is based on about 30 selected architectural and landscape architectural projects. Interviews with protagonists of the architectural scene of Berlin allow an insider glimpse of architectural developments in the German capital.
