Baukollegium Berlin

For more than eight years, Sen­ate Build­ing Direc­tor Reg­u­la Lüsch­er has been fight­ing for a dif­fer­ent Berlin build­ing cul­ture with a Swiss instru­ment. This piece of con­tem­po­rary build­ing and cul­tur­al his­to­ry is told in the book ​“Baukol­legium Berlin.”

Man­ag­ing the growth of our cities through con­struc­tion while simul­ta­ne­ous­ly focus­ing on good urban design requires new forms of coop­er­a­tion. Numer­ous exam­ples are used to present the work­ing meth­ods and role of the Baukol­legium in build­ing pol­i­cy, as well as its method­olog­i­cal sig­nif­i­cance in pro­mot­ing build­ing cul­ture. In addi­tion to inter­views with Reg­u­la Lüsch­er and David Chip­per­field, the book con­tains an essay on the con­di­tions of Berlin build­ing and pro­vides insights into the Baukol­legium’s work­ing prac­tices based on eight build­ing project studies.
