Description

Over the last 20 years, architecture in and from Berlin has emerged as a global brand. Like Vol. 1, this new edition of Architecture Berlin showcases the most interesting 70 new buildings in and outside of the German capital. Each project is presented on the basis of informative texts, the most important facts as well as insightful photographic and planning documents.

The contextual essays for each of the eight sections in this volume cover a wide and interesting range of subjects.
