As a rapidly growing capital, Berlin is currently experienc-ing a further phase of intensive construction activity, accompanied by committed debates about the architectural future of the city. More than in any other European metropolis, subcultural creative spaces, ambitious large-scale construction projects and innovative residential buildings encounter each other in the immediate vicinity. Tradition and innovation mix to form an independent, dynamic and innovative building culture that is appreciated, respected and discussed internationally. Berlin architects are facing the complex challenges of bringing together this unparalleled diversity of people and architecture. The publication presents a carefully curated selection of the most exciting current projects in and from the German capital as a showcase for current architectural events. In addition, informative essays analyze and discuss backgrounds, trends and developments that affect (not only) Berlin.
Architecture and the architectural discourse have be - come ever
more important for the creative hub of Berlin. Whether new
constructions or building redevelopments, interior design,
landscape architecture or urban planning, projects related the
German capital stands for sophis - ticated concepts and high
quality. As it does every year BUILDING BERLIN presents the most
important and interesting projects from the past year in Berlin as
well as works outside Berlin by Berlin based architects. The
presentation of the approximately 70 projects in eight chapters is
accompanied by essays on exemplary aspects. Especially noteworthy
is an analysis of the different strategies for hospital and health
facilities in underdevel - oped regions of the world. The
contributed "Work To Go" subtly reflects about the meaning of
architecture for the workplaces of the "digital nomads".
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 categories that structure
the book features essays on current issues - trends and
developments that provide reflective insights to the summaries that
accompany the exemplary collection of around 70 projects. The
chapter on residential architecture, for example, discusses the
interest of creative urban clients in the highrise 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, new
chances for architecture through privately sponsored museums, and
current trends in student dormitory buildings.
