Symposium
Achtung: Berlin
J. Irwin Miller Symposium
Thursday, February 1–
Saturday, February 16, 2013
Berlin’s history as the capital of
the Third Reich and its subsequent
precarious status as an
enclave within the Soviet zone
of Germany (later, the German
Democratic Republic, GDR) has
transformed every aspect of its
cultural, artistic and architectural
life into evidence in the last
century’s key political conflicts.
As a result, the two parts of the
city became prime laboratories
of architectural and urbanistic
experimentation and spectacularization
at the service of power,
either hard or soft. The three-day
conference will reexamine critical
moments of Berlin’s architectural
and urbanistic history
since 1945 in the light of Berlin’s
new status as the capital of a
re-united Germany.
The symposium is supported
by the J. Irwin Miller Endowment
Fund with additional support
provided by the Edward J. and
Dorothy Clarke Kempf Fund. It
is organized by Stanislaus von
Moos with participants: Esra
Akcan, Greg Castillo, David
Chipperfield, Katerina Clark,
Thomas Demand, Peter Eisenman,
Ole W. Fischer, Kurt W.
Forster, Hartmut Frank, Simone
Hain, Volker Hassemer, Andreas
Huyssen, Michael Kimmelman,
Hans Kolloff, Rem Koolhaas,
Leon Krier, Jan Lisegang, Regula
Lüscher, Vittorio Magnago-
Lampugnani, Jürgen Mayer H.,
Marco de Michelis, Sébastien
Marot, Eric Mumford, Emmanuel
Petit, Alan Plattus, Eilsabeth
Ruge, Ernst Seidl, Hans
Stimmann, Adam Tooze, Katie
Trumpener, and Anthony Vidler.
