Shot in 1994, Berlin is an extended photo essay recording the
transformation of the urban landscape of the city of Berlin.
Capturing a moment frozen in time, these photographs present a
Berlin that no longer exists but continues to survive.
In the past, buildings and other constructions representing
singular moments for the community were called monuments. Their
origin was expression of power, celebration of ritual or collective
affirmation. In the contemporary world, a project that aspires to
be exceptionally expressive is commonly called an icon.
Etymologically, an icon is the representation of divinity
throughout painting with a strong coded style. They were regarded
as the presence of God and the Saints on earth. But the tradition
of Icons has its antagonist incorporated. The iconoclastic movement
destroyed all the representation of divinity pleading that it
destroys its very essence. The publication begins with a series of
general texts on themes that vary but all share a common critical
look at the role of the iconic on the recent architecture scene.
Student projects also deal with this subject. Some of the texts
were produced at a seminal symposium organized by the Chair of
Professor Josep Lluis Mateo.
Exploring the last 25 years of housing development, this text looks
at housing projects that reflect the most innovative and
influential built housing projects to propose new important
guidelines in housing.
