Overview

KEYNOTE: A cosy comfortable tool to explore and catch interesting interior design ideas Berlin, after the reunification of Germany, has been able to reinvent itself and its own image. A constantly evolving city, rich in contrasts and unexpected occasions, suspended between the old and the new, between nostalgia for the past and enthusiasm for the future. From Mitte's hofe, the historic courts turned recreational places dedicated to exclusive living, to the Eastern quarters such as Prenzlauerberg, which escaped the devastation of the war and have been reborn thanks to colonisation by artists and creative people who arrived from all over the world. Or the upgraded and converted socialist buildings, the disused industrial spaces transformed into lofts, the new operations to suture the numerous urban voids of a city in which the scars of history have become opportunities for the future. Text in English & Italian. AUTHOR Federico Ferrari, qualified as an architect at Milan Polytechnic and studied for his doctorate in urban planning at IUAV in Venice. For many years he has been involved in architectural criticism and history of the late twentieth century, with particular reference to the Lombardy area and the problems inherent in the rapport between mass society and urban morphology. As well as various publications in the editorial and academic field and numerous collaborations with the Milan Triennale, including the joint curatorship of the exhibition Casa per Tutti in 2008, he collaborates with Domus and Il Giornale dell'Architettura.
