This Berlin architectural guide gives a detailed survey of the city's urban development; from its medieval origins to modern times. Berlin's outstanding architectural features and achievements are described from a new perspective, placing the architectural language of individual buildings within the historical framework of urban planning concepts. Architectural complexes such as the Museumsinsel (Museum Island) as well as prominent monuments and squares, such as the Gendarmenmarkt are presented. Alongside this, important architectural periods and their characteristics are illustrated; from Baroque castles, to the Berliner Mietshaus - a typical 19th-century tenement house - to the famous industrial architecture at the turn of the century, up to the architecture of present day Berlin. This architectural guide provides a overall picture of the diversity of Berlin's architectural history.
