Summary:
How has Berlin’s urban landscape changed in its remarkable transformation from divided city to creative capital? Despite the monumental heritage and grand development projects, Berlin still conjures up images of urban fragmentation and vacant inner-city land. The book reveals the changing nature and complex politics of this open space. A rephotographing of sites between 2001 and 2016 shows how no man’s land has made way for new apartments and underground hangouts have changed into commercial hubs, but it also transports us to remaining pockets of urban wilderness and unexpected freedom right next to the city’s most iconic squares. The accompanying essays by noted urban thinkers explore this little-known but vital reserve—forcing us to reflect on our unrelenting efforts to chart the future of the city at large.

Summary:
Ce livre analyse comment la ville est devenue le réceptacle de l'évolution de la société et des modes de vie dans un monde incertain, une économie incertaine et des territoires incertains. Comment essayer de construire un récit dans lequel les citoyens se retrouvent, dans lequel les élus s'engagent. La fragilité, aujourd'hui, des êtres humains, auxquels on demande de s'inventer sans cesse, exige des responsables publics qu'ils soient capables de fixer un cap et que la politique produise ce récit dans lequel chacun trouve sa place. Ce livre n'a pas de prétention scientifique. Il se veut une manière de raconter la ville, une lecture de ville à travers une expérience d'élu et de professionnel, tout au long de quelques dizaines d'années de pratique.

Summary:
This book gathers writings by Swedish American architect Lars Lerup, in which he observes and analyzes the urban environment around him, then applies those findings to develop innovative theories about the modern city. Though the fourteen essays in the book were written as standalone pieces, together they cohere into a larger project that surveys Lerup’s thinking about identity, monumentality, and the relationship between nature and culture. He considers influential modern landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx, the “dancing floors” of Rem Koolhaas’s Seattle Central Library, Herzog & de Meuron’s 1111 Lincoln Road project in Miami Beach, the character of urban icons like Coop Himmelb(l)au’s Dalian International Conference Center, and much more.
