Synopsis
Viewing architecture and urban development from the perspective of building contractors is a much-neglected topic to date in architectural and art history. If mentioned at all, contractors are often seen as potential adversaries of architects, their actions allegedly determined solely by the maximization of returns; artistic or social aspects of buildings supposedly have no noteworthy importance for them. However, it is the determined entrepreneurial and often very creative spirit of contractors that allows architectural ideas for buildings to be realized in construction.
Building Berlin is dedicated to the multifaceted activities of six selected building contractors who were active when Berlin flourished to become a world city. The compact articles about their life and work also seek to illuminate their far-reaching but largely unknown influence on the development of Berlin’s cityscape and architecture.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Viewing architecture and urban development from the perspective of building contractors is a much neglected topic to date in architectural and art history. If mentioned at all, they are often even seen as potential adversaries of the architects, as their actions are allegedly determined solely by the maximisation of returns. Artistic or social aspects of building therefore supposedly have no note-worthy importance for them. However, it is the determined entrepreneurial and often very creative spirit of the contractors that allows the constructional realisation of architectural ideas for buildings. In view of this, this book is dedicated to the multi-faceted actions of six selected building contractors who were active when Berlin flourished to become a world city. The compact articles about their life and work also seek to illuminate their far-reaching, but largely unknown influence on the development of the cityscape and the architecture of Berlin.

Building Berlin
Seller: Rarewaves USA, OSWEGO, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: New. 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. Seller Inventory # LU-9783868595598
