Berlin Contemporary explores these buildings and plans, tracing their antecedents while also situating their iconic forms and influential designers within the spectacular world of global contemporary architecture. Close studies of these sites, including the Reichstag, the Chancellery, and the reconstruction of the Berlin Stadtschloss (now known as the Humboldt Forum), demonstrate the complexity of Berlin’s political and architectural “rebuilding”—and reveal the intricate historical negotiations that architecture was summoned to perform.
Julia Walker is Associate Professor of Art History at The State University of New York in Binghamton, USA. Her research focuses on modern and contemporary architecture, emphasizing the persistence and transformation of modernist ideas within contemporary practice—and the ways in which this modernist inheritance informs, inflects, and destabilizes claims to political meaning. Her current projects examine the underrepresentation of women in architectural practice and explore the history of architectural criticism as a genre.
