Synopsis
Berlin has triumphed over its own history as a divided city to become one of the most vibrant and thrilling capitals in Europe. Entire districts have been rebuilt in only ten years, making the city a showcase of great architectural achievement.
Living in Berlin seeks out both the new and the old of Berlin's most eye-catching attractions from the fabulous eighteenth-century palace of Sans-Souci to breathtaking new buildings designed by moderns like Foster, Starck, and Gehry. This sumptuously illustrated book offers an insider's tour of the city's unique architectural and cultural heritage-and beyond, to the hidden jewels and neglected treasures of the Berlin that most travelers pass by. Living in Berlin pauses at the river and the lakes that lie at the heart of the city, and visits hidden courtyards and market squares. The classic Berlin of Kurt Weill's songs is still there; the voice of Marlene Dietrich still hangs in the smoke-filled bars-if only you know where to look! Living in Berlin also visits cutting-edge contemporary designs for living in the city; from minimalist modern settings to the organized chaos of young artists' studios. The book is completed by details on the best places for excursions and shopping trips, where to eat and where to stay, all selected by true Berliners.

Cloth Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Deidi von Schaewen (illustrator). First American Edition. 2002 First Edition in English of 2001 French original. A bright, clean, tight copy sans tears, stains, discoloration and text and illustration markings. "As the capital of a newly unified Germany, Berlin is rediscovering itself. The sprawling city of forests and lakes is putting the Prussian splendor back into its old palaces, which hold their own against the bold architecture of recent renewal. Although "East" and "West" still mark the urban landscape as reminders of a history that cannot be overlooked. Berlin has become the best living example of modern architecture by today's finest innovators - Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Jean Nouvel, and Claude Vasconi - making it the true capital of the twenty-first century. "Living in Berlin" also takes us inside the fashionable homes of artists and celebrities, cafes and taverns, and leads us through Berlin's maze of traditional neighborhoods to reveal the dynamic, multifaceted character of this vast, venerable city." PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in full-color photography (many full-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. 224 pages. NOTE: Due to the large size and weight of the book additional shipping cost may be requested/required for OUT-OF-U.S. shipment in accordance with country of destination. GO2.
