Berlin’s unique rebirth is an active and dynamic example of a redevelopment of a city in the attempt to realign itself as a global capital. Its changed landscape during the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century promotes an ethereal metropolis developing new prototypes for living. The vast array of experimentation spanning three major territorial shifts are critical to these radical transformations. Prewar, postwar and unification have generated a collage of new visions implementing urban forms within distinct neighborhoods. Extensive comparisons have been made between Chicago and Berlin during the turn of the century. In 1891 Mark Twain visited Berlin and published his experience in the New York Sun “The German Chicago” stating “Berlin is the European Chicago”. He described the city as “the newest I have ever seen”(Twain 88/89). At this time, Berlin was compared to Chicago both by its range of development and its speed of growth. It had changed from a historical city to a new age metropolis. Edmund Edel describes in the Großstadt-Dokumente 1908 Berlins characteristics with words that attributes American metropolis. Leo Colze writes around the same time about the “Kaufhaus des Westens” as a symbol of the modern, a technical and organizational masterful performance, based on the American model. IIT | Summer 2015 Summer 2015 Study Abroad Studio | John Manaves, Alice Kriegel | 1.15.15 Introduction cont. Reunification of Berlin triggered an intense conversation within the architectural discipline and created a fierce debate about metropolis. The question of how to develop a unified Berlin is guided by a framework “Planwerk Innenstadt” from Senate Building Director Hans Stimmann. It re-introduced the concept of critical reconstruction for the Friedrichstadt, the “European City” for the Potsdamer Platz, the Lehrter Bahnhof area and the Spreeinsel. Stimmann writes in 1995 “a city can only become a metropolis if it maintains a hold on its past. Libeskind “condemned any call or support for a return to the ‘historical’ city as an expression of ‘reactionary tendencies’, a ‘dogmatic and anti-democratic concept of society’ and an ‘unimaginative rumination of bureaucratic and administrative formulas’ in architecture.”(Kähler 384). Within the discipline, Berlin is a unique architectural playground oscillating between a range of radical transformations. The ability to visit and experience these urban transformations is part of the studio research. FACULTY John Manaves, AIA along with Alice Kriegel founded studio Berlin in 2008. He has committed the summer semester in facilitating and teaching the program for the past seven years. The program has been consistently dedicated to researching urban inter ven tions and new urban isms in Berlin. Alice Kriegel, Dipl.-Ing.Arch. BDA, studied and worked in Berlin during critical reconstruction. In 2004, she joined ECE, the Hamburg-based international project developer and was involved in the master planning of Überseequartier Hamburg Hafencity and Weser Quartier Bremen.

However, Potsdam's origins can be traced back to the 10th century, when the city's foundation stone was laid in the shape of Poztupimi fort, home to a Slavic settlement. Over the centuries, the once rather sleepy fishing village gradually developed into the royal residence of the Prussian kings, which bears more than a passing resemblance to Versailles. The New Palace, Sanssouci Palace, Cecilienhof Palace and the Marble Palace in the New Garden, or Babelsberg Palace, situated in the landscape park of the same name, are just some of the numerous palaces and parks dotted around this spectacular city.

  • 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.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.
