StadtLandschaften

'StadtLandschaten' is an ongoing research project into how the appearance of a city can retain the structures and patterns of its history.

Project aims

The work addresses the built landscape of Berlin, and in particular the city’s experience of the political and social extremes of the twentieth century that are reflected in the imprint of it’s monumental street plans and buildings.
