Description

(Short description)
Berlin¿s architectural landscape is as varied as it is impressive. A detailed overview is provided in the compendium of Berlin architecture written by art historian Dr. Arnt Cobber. A highly popular publication for years, it is now available as an expanded, completely updated and, for the first time, a color-illustrated edition.
Arranged chronologically according to their dates of construction, the buildings described here span from the medieval period (St. Nicholas Church) to the contemporary era (Government Quarter, Central Train Station, Media Spree) via the Schinkel period (Altes Museum), Modernist industrial structures (AEG's turbine halls) and the housing estates of the Weimar Republic (Britz 'Horseshoe' Estate). The author explains each building in terms of its period of origin, architect and cultural and historical context.
Addresses, opening hours and information on transportation links are provided, as is a detailed index and glossary, all of which make the volume an indispensible companion for anyone interested in the city's architecture.
