New architectural impulses: Recent buildings in the German capital by local architects as well as projects elsewhere by architects based in Berlin complemented by essays the world of architecture that are currently being discussed.
Berlin is leading by example: 60 projects demonstrate how the new culture of conversion is a real turning point, rather than a short-lived trend. Examples include an apartment conversion that allows a family to remain in their home, triple-star cuisine in exceptional surroundings, smart updates for old schools, transformations, repair measures and all manner of add-ons, as well as a roadmap for the climate transition of an entire city: conceived in Berlin for places all around the world.
This volume is a call for a diverse, multi-layered, socially orientated and therefore sustainable planning culture that involves and includes everyone. Eight essays discuss various phenomena: whether women live differently, the story behind Berlin's pink piping, how dinosaurs change a location, what the architectural world is fighting for by the River Spree, where Berliners sit down, and how the city will affect even remote rural areas.
