Berlin Contemporary: Architecture and Politics After 1990: Visual Cultures and German Contexts
Autor Professor Julia Walkeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iun 2024
Berlin Contemporary explores these buildings and plans, tracing their antecedents while also situating their iconic forms and influential designers within the spectacular world of global contemporary architecture. Close studies of these sites, including the Reichstag, the Chancellery, and the reconstruction of the Berlin Stadtschloss (now known as the Humboldt Forum), demonstrate the complexity of Berlin's political and architectural "rebuilding"-and reveal the intricate historical negotiations that architecture was summoned to perform.

Recenzii
"Walker writes about contemporary architecture not as a critic but as a sharp-eyed, thought-provoking historian. Berlin Contemporary is a meticulously researched book that raises the bar for the study of recent urbanism; Walker's luscious, flowing prose makes for effortless reading, despite the seriousness of the subject. A formidable achievement."
"A deeply researched book on a city that has, in the course of its reconstruction, arguably become the cultural capital of Europe, Berlin Contemporary grapples with issues of architecture, politics, the public sphere, and memory that have implications for cities around the world."
"The words 'Reunification of Germany' seem to indicate a singular event. In reality, it is hardly a done deal even today. Approaching the topic in a way that is both sensitive and provocative, Walker's book, interblending history and criticism, helps us see how architecture operates within complex political, geo-political, and cultural environments."
