Perspectives on urban architecture

Art, culture and gentrification: few places in Berlin combine such
complex developments of the last decades as the distric Mitte. In the
1990s, a strong art scene developed in Mitte – the starting point for a
gentrification process and the driving force behind strikingly
high-quality architecture.



The tour shows numerous contemporary architectural projects in their very urban context:
art galleries, a publishing house or the extention of a prefabricated school building.

You will experience new perspectives on the history of GDR architecture in the neighbourhood of David Chipperfield’s monolithic concrete building. The tour ends at the large-scale urban development project at Tacheles, caught between luxury housing and cultural ambitions.
