Summary:
''Constructing Imperial Berlin'' is the first book to critically assess, contextualize, and frame urban and architectural photographs of the Imperial years in Berlin between 1871 and 1918. Berlin, as it was pronounced Germany's capital in 1871, was fraught with questions that had previously beset Paris and London. How was urban expansion and transformation to be absorbed? What was the city's understanding of its comparably short history? Given this short history, how did it embody the idea of a capital? A key theme of this book is the close interrelation of the city's rapid physical metamorphosis with repercussions on promotional and critical narratives, the emergence of groundbreaking photographic technologies, and novel forms of mass distribution.

For us at AWC, it flourishes in repetition, meandering, and the subtle work of what often goes unnoticed.

Our new editorial cycle, Transformers, begins from the reckoning that transformation in the arts has never been linear. For us at AWC, it flourishes in repetition, meandering, and the subtle work of what often goes unnoticed. Rather than asking what is new, Transformers—not the 2007 blockbuster, but the era it anticipated, a spectacle of war, digitalization, and profit—attends to what has been quietly shifting as new configurations of power, labor, and life crystallize. The unfolding chronicle of atrocities revealed in the Jeffrey Epstein files exposes how greed underwrites tribalism, and how the dismantling of an already iniquitous globalism has been further engineered to concentrate wealth in the hands of the fewest of the few.

While their building designs shaped Vienna’s urban landscape and exemplified the famous Secession movement, these three architects also applied their eclectic principles to domestic interiors, or Wohnkultur (meaning "living" or "dwelling culture"). This book follows the progress of their debates and works, and how each designer sought to frame his own distinctive vision of living. The result was a split between the imperatives of style, function and livability that is still in play today.

What had begun as a cluster of loosely related artistic movements scattered across Europe emerged as the dominant style of the twentieth century.
