Ideas are turned into reality here, innovation is welcome, and courage is appreciated. And just like the city, the same can be said of its architecture: future-oriented and always somewhat nonconformist. It is almost self-evident that the architecture scene in the capital city attracts worldwide attention. This volume presents an in-depth selection of the most exciting new projects: from unconventional pop-up architecture to large international projects and attractive and resident-friendly urban open spaces. The exhibition of works is supplemented by informative essays that illuminate current topics, backgrounds, trends and developments in the world of construction - not only in Berlin. How can affordable and yet high-quality residential space be created. How will demographic change influence life in the different neighbourhoods. And how can a city like Berlin continue to position itself architecturally as an art and culture metropolis.
