The study of the city of Berlin along Wilhelmstraße represents an interesting challenge for different reasons: the position of this urban axis in the middle of the baroque city, the interventions on this area during World War II, the large voids created by the massive bombardments at the end of the war, the division of the city in East and West Berlin in 1961, the numerous architectural projects realized during the ’80s IBA exhibition. The present analysis concerns a number of urban blocks in this specific area of the city. The aim was to elaborate a preliminary study, useful to the subsequent construction of their project, which was based on a different scale approach to the buildings and their architectural elements. The result was a series of drawings at different scales that spans from the large scale analysis of the whole urban block to the reduced one of the single building and its parts.

Abstract

The study of the city of Berlin along Wilhelmstraße represents an interesting challenge for different reasons: the position of this urban axis in the middle of the baroque city, the interventions on this area during World War II, the large voids created by the massive bombardments at the end of the war, the division of the city in East and West Berlin in 1961, the numerous architectural projects realized during the ’80s IBA exhibition. The present analysis concerns a number of urban blocks in this specific area of the city. The aim was to elaborate a preliminary study, useful to the subsequent construction of their project, which was based on a different scale approach to the buildings and their architectural elements. The result was a series of drawings at different scales that spans from the large scale analysis of the whole urban block to the reduced one of the single building and its parts.
