The New Berlin BERLIN, a living cityscape — kaleidoscopic and restless. Spread over a vast area, its scattered islands of NEW ARCHITECTURE have an event- character that is unmistakable. Interspersed between the Brobdingnagian scale of the NEW is the Bismarkian metropolitan. But everything as yet without coherence (still or perhaps only apparently?). "Reichstag", Sony-Center; brown-field sites, greened spaces;... every possible ARCHITECTURAL ACCENT, all vigorous. Space for development: showiness and splendour at any price. Visible financial potency nourishes art as well as creativity...
