Building Berlin, Vol. 15

An inspiring selection of projects from and in Berlin reveals how a new, sustainable building culture is taking shape―responsible, collaborative, and far-reaching.

60 new projects in and from Berlin, compiled by an independent panel of experts and members of the public: a compendium of best practice in the building culture of our time, showcasing the enormous range of tasks involved. How are Berlin’s architects transforming existing buildings in an ecologically and economically responsible manner? How does this strengthen the community? Are we on the way to a new aesthetic and moving towards closer cooperation? Renowned authors add trends, stories and background information: how can we activate people and their knowledge? What infrastructure does Berlin need? Where does potential lie dormant? How can we make the city more resilient? This volume shows how Berlin is responding to the questions of our time – leading to a new building culture that extends far beyond the German capital.
