In Berlin, science, architecture, and the city are interwoven in a
unique way: what was originally a single palace in the historic
centre gradually developed to become a comprehensive academic
landscape, in which three large universities today shape the city.
Taking multiple perspectives onboard, this architectural guide asks
how the growth of Berlin as a metropolis has been linked to the
development of science and how its various disciplines have been
able to realise their demands for buildings to carry out research
and teaching and to hold scientific collections. In five chapters,
the authors guide readers through various locations in Mitte,
Charlottenburg, Dahlem, Adlershof, and Buch and show how questions
about the representation and functionality of buildings, their
conversion, or even their relocation to the outskirts of the city
were reconciled with the expansion of infrastructure and
contemporary ideas about urban planning. The book's critical and
detailed look at the architectures of science, the genesis of which
it traces over more than two centuries, sheds new light on Berlin's
university landscape. At the same time, it allows readers to
rediscover the political and social zeitgeist in the buildings of
science. In cooperation with Gabriele Metzler (concept) and Konrad
Angermüller (design) and with additional contributions by Nils
Exner and Sascha Morawe.
