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.

Building Berlin (Hardcover)

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.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: New. Architektur und Städtebau aus der Perspektive von Bauherren zu betrachten, ist ein bis dato in der Bau- und Kunstgeschichte signifikant vernachlässigtes Thema. Sofern überhaupt erwähnt, werden sie nicht selten sogar als potenzielle Widersacher der Architekten begriffen, da ihr Handeln - so die Unterstellung - allein von der Maximierung der Rendite bestimmt sei. Künstlerische oder soziale Aspekte des Bauens hätten für sie demnach keine nennenswerte Bedeutung. Vielmehr sind es jedoch der entschlossene Unternehmergeist sowie die oft durchaus schöpferische Tatkraft von Bauherren, durch welche architektonische Ideengebäude überhaupt erst zur baulichen Realisierung gelangen. Vor diesem Hintergrund widmet sich das Buch dem facettenreichen Wirken von sechs ausgewählten Bauunternehmern, die tätig waren, als Berlin mit Vehemenz zur Weltstadt gedieh. Die kompakten Abhandlungen zu Leben und Werk suchen hierbei nicht zuletzt deren weitreichenden, aber weithin unbekannten Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Stadtgestalt und Architektur Berlins anschaulich zu machen.
