BUILDING BERLIN - WOLFGANG SCHÄCHE DANIEL RALF ...

Viewing architecture and city planning from the perspective of developers is a significantly
neglected theme in histories of art and architecture. If mentioned at all  developers often
figure as adversaries of architects-their actions taken to be driven by profit alone  with
little regard for aesthetic or social factors. Yet it was often developers-with their resolute
entrepreneurial spirit and creative drive-who made it possible for architectural ideas to be
realized at all. This book is dedicated to the multifaceted actions of six selected developers
who made decisive and indispensable contributions to Berlin as it flourished to become a world
city. The compact essays about these men's life and work aim to illustrate their far-reaching
though largely unknown impact on the cityscape and architecture of Berlin.
