Now more than ever, Berlin is a city in flux. Following the destruction of World War II and decades of division, the reunified city is being architecturally reshaped.Focusing on 35 distinct areas of the city, this book presents the new face of the German capital including the former West, the new center, and the government district with stunning photographs that look at the startling contrasts between old and new. Architectural historian Christiane Kruse examines Berlin's vibrant, checkered past, offering surprising insights into its rebirth as a thriving, thoroughly modern metropolis and using texts that place current developments in a historical context.
