Berlin has always been special. This edgy, vibrant, and exciting melting pot is a magnet for artists and creatives from all over the world. The juxtaposition of pulsing modernity and rich cultural heritage makes for a dynamic and innovative built environment that has won the praise of critics at home and abroad. Offering a window onto recent developments in architecture, this volume presents a selection of exciting projects created by the city's architects both in Berlin and around the world. The spectrum of featured works ranges from the conversion of a listed ballroom on Berlin's famous Kurfurstendamm into a dental practice to the construction of a new national sports stadium in Brasilia and landscaping undertaken for a state garden show.

This extensive overview is accompanied by essays on current trends and developments in architecture and urban planning, including innovative compact residential solutions and the rediscovery of Berlin's post-war architectural gems.
