Art, culture and gentrification: few places in Berlin combine such complex developments of the last decades as the distric Mitte. In the 1990s, a strong art scene developed in Mitte – the starting point for a gentrification process and the driving force behind strikingly high-quality architecture.

The tour shows numerous contemporary architectural projects in their very urban context: art galleries, a publishing house or the extention of a prefabricated school building. You will experience new perspectives on the history of GDR architecture in the neighbourhood of David Chipperfield’s monolithic concrete building. The tour ends at the large-scale urban development project at Tacheles, caught between luxury housing and cultural ambitions.

Highlights: 
  • Culture or Capitalism? The Tacheles mega-project
  • Pre-fab buildings How to deal with the architectural heritage of the GDR?
