During the two millennia of its development, the theatre has existed in various creative, social and spatial frameworks which have directly determined its form. The 20th century witnessed the rethinking all traditional and conventional values. In the theatre this was marked by the ambition to establish a space which suited the needs of modern drama and the conditions of the changed ideological, social and cultural context. A pluralism of options arose, rather than a single response to the problem of the acting space and auditorium configuration in the modern theatre. At the same time, the space for theatre performance and the architectural structure of the building as a whole were almost always thought of as two separate issues. Since the question of theatre building as a unit was never asked, and modern drama and modern architecture did not manage to find a common language, the tendency to abandon theatre buildings in search of spaces to suit new theatre sensibilities became one of the most powerful developments of modern times. Nonetheless, many new values were brought into modern theatre by various successful pieces of architectural research, projects and buildings. This particularly relates to the relativisation of traditional contradictions existing between the social, economic, production and artistic parameters of theatre and theatre space. The social character of the house changed permanently, while the house itself moved closer towards its original values. The development of stage technique and technology also resulted in radically wider possibilities for defining both the acting space and scenography. This freed the architect from all the responsibilities previously imposed by the permanency of the theatre as a building and increased the ephemerality of theatre as an art phenomenon. On the other hand, the functional, formal and 2 semantic values of theatre as part of the city structure were proved and further developed. Therefore, the position and function of modern theatre buildings, in parallel with the development of the theatre in different city environments, are becoming part of the overall phenomenon of the urbanization of the theatre act, as well as the theatralisation of the urban structure. This is why the most important questions today, both for architects and theatre people, are how to identify, explore and exploit performability of the environment – built as well as natural, theatrical as well as ‘profane’. And, more than ever, in the ‘society of spectacle’ – why to do that. 3 ART AND ARCHITECTURE IN BERLIN Biljana Aranđelović1 1 PhD, Assistant Professor at Faculty for Civil Engineering and Architecture at University of Nis; A. Medvedeva 14, 18000 Nis, Serbia Abstract: Art in public space plays an important Berlin is a subjects for this paper due to high level of development and the interest of the state in participating in the “Art on building sites” (Kunst am Bau) projects. Thus, Berlin is a logical choice as the main city for this research considering its visual changes caused by the influence of the contemporary art scene. Investigating how art can influence and display the changes of the new urban look of the city is the main theme of this paper. Keywords: Berlin, art and architecture, art and the city, urban design, creative city, art in public space 4 1. INTRODUCTION There has always been some kind of relationship between art and architecture. This relationship has never been at the same level as the role of art within architecture has been changeable through history. Contemporary cities are facing changes. The speed of change in metropolises is amazing. The growing diversity is uncontrollable and old traditional ways of systematization and urban planning are not possible anymore in the way they used to be in the past. Town centers empty fast and what is significant today maybe won’t be tomorrow. There is competition between cities to attract visitors. Thus, art might be a relevant factor for city development in the future, and architects are expected to raise this question of art within the city in order to achieve competitiveness. [3] The city of Berlin is today one of the most appealing metropolises in the world. Then, it is no wonder why this city attracts so many different people. Living and working in Berlin is a privilege. The activity of artists may contribute to the city’s appeal. Some of the examples that are included in this paper are: the luminous box at Checkpoint Charlie, the German parliament, the Reichstag building, then the Wrapped Reichstag by the artists Christo and Jeanne- Claude as famous proof of how the Parliament building can serve the purpose of art, ,the
