Berlin 2000: a missed opportunity
After the reunification of Germany, Berlin offers the opportunity for the 'new founding' of a city which could set an example worldwide. However, rather than grasp this opportunity, Berlin's 'official' architecture seems to be locked in the past. This may be due to the special situation of the post-war years but it also demonstrates remarkable lack of vision and courage. Rather than fit the contemporary Berlin to a fictional image of further sophistication, the city should find its own very diverse and complex order in order to grow from it. Further it has to take on the programmatic challenges of contemporary life in order to come to proposals which keep the city free for future development, while continuing (Weimar) traditions of experimentation and cultural authenticity.
