  • He Big “Mitte-Struggle” Politics and Aesthetics of Berlin's Post
    Martin Gegner he big “mitt e-struggl e” politics and a esth etics of t b rlin’s post-r nification e eu urbanism proj ects Abstract There is hardly a metropolis found in Europe or elsewhere where the 104 urban structure and architectural face changed as often, or dramatically, as in 20 th century Berlin. During this century, the city served as the state capital for five different political systems, suffered partial destruction pós- during World War II, and experienced physical separation by the Berlin wall for 28 years. Shortly after the reunification of Germany in 1989, Berlin was designated the capital of the unified country. This triggered massive building activity for federal ministries and other governmental facilities, the majority of which was carried out in the old city center (Mitte) . It was here that previous regimes of various ideologies had built their major architectural state representations; from to the authoritarian Empire (1871-1918) to authoritarian socialism in the German Democratic Republic (1949-89). All of these époques still have remains concentrated in the Mitte district, but it is not only with governmental buildings that Berlin and its Mitte transformed drastically in the last 20 years; there were also cultural, commercial, and industrial projects and, of course, apartment buildings which were designed and completed. With all of these reasons for construction, the question arose of what to do with the old buildings and how to build the new. From 1991 onwards, the Berlin urbanism authority worked out guidelines which set aesthetic guidelines for all construction activity. The 1999 Planwerk Innenstadt (City Center Master Plan) itself was based on a Leitbild (overall concept) from the 1980s called “Critical Reconstruction of a European City.” Many critics, architects, and theorists called it a prohibitive construction doctrine that, to a certain extent, represented conservative or even reactionary political tendencies in unified Germany.

  • Le Corbusier in Berlin, 1958: the Universal and the Individual in the Unbuilt City
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/LC2015.2015.921 Le Corbusier in Berlin, 1958: the universal and the individual in the unbuilt city M. Oliveira Eskinazi Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Urbanismo, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Abstract: Among several urban plans designed for Berlin, we find Le Corbusier`s project for the Hauptstadt Berlin 1958 competition, which aimed at thinking the reconstruction of the city center destroyed in the II World War. Corbusier`s relation with Berlin dates back to 1910, when he arrives at the city to work at Peter Behrens` office. So, for him, the plan for Berlin was a rare opportunity to develop ideas about the city that provided one of the largest contributions to his urban design education, and also to develop ideas he formulated forty years before for Paris` center. Besides that, this project was developed almost simultaneously with CIAM`s crises and dissolution, which culminated in the 50`s with the consequent appearance of Team 10. At that moment Corbusier`s universalist approach to urbanism starts to be challenged by CIAM`s young generation, which had a critical approach towards the design methods inherited from the previous generation, associated with CIAM`s foundational moment. From the beginning of the 50`s on, this new generation balances the universalist ideals inherited from the previous generation with individualist ones they identified as necessary to face the new post war reality. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to analyse Corbusier’s design for Berlin and question whether he, at an already mature point of his career, was proposing a plan that answered only the questions that were important to CIAM and to the canonical principles of modern architecture, or if he had also addressed those that belonged to the new generation and Team 10`s agenda, both of them present in the debates of the moment, largely identified as a transitional period.

    Berlin, Intersecting Traumas Nils Roemer Interim Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities, Director of the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies and Stan and Barbara Rabin Professor in Holocaust Studies The University of Texas at Dallas “Spazieren... Go spazieren! (Go for a stroll)” — Peter Falk, Wings of Desire rEoEaT d UT of MiLiTary viCToriES inTo ThE CaPiTaL of the first German nation-state in 1871, Berlin grew exponentially during the next few decades. Most of its older Carchitectural structures gave way for new buildings. The pre-World War I city on the river Spree was a constantly changing urban center in danger of losing its past for a newly erected, curated, and triumphant array of monuments, victory columns, and museums. These cast imperial Berlin as the inheritor of Rome, Athens, and the culmination of centuries of strife toward a seat at the world table. From the traumatizing First World War, Berlin emerged physically unscathed as the new capital of the unwanted and celebrated, dangerous yet alluring Weimar Republic which offered both promise and doom. Weimar’s eventual demise turned Berlin into the center of the Third Reich’s racial and colonial wars. Then, leveled by Allied air raids and the Soviets’ liberation, the city became divided and, as President John F. Kennedy identified it, the frontline of the Cold War, until 1989 when the wall came down and the city became once again the capital of a newly united Germany. Today, the city lives and thrives in the aftermath of these national traumas. Amongst the Google Arts and Culture Tours of Berlin, travelers are guided through an exploration of the “Tragic History of the Twentieth Century.” The route is a tour de force of the sites of war and genocide that pepper Germany’s nostalgic and vibrant, eccentric and commercialized, contemporary culture of its capital.
