Rethinking Modernity

Conference

Berlin boasts two constructed manifestos of political and aesthetic confrontation: the Karl-Marx-Allee (formerly Stalinallee), built from 1951–58, and Interbau 1957 in the Hansaviertel. This conference will address the debate in a larger context, using examples from Eastern and Western Europe, and will investigate them through historical analysis and typological comparisons. Speakers include Jean Louis Cohen, Sigrid Brandt and Gabi Dolff-Bonekämper. In cooperation with the Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing, the Berlin Monument Authority, and ICOMOS Germany.
