Berlin ist bis in die jüngste Vergangenheit hinein eine Stadt mit bewegter Geschichte und jede Epoche, jedes Gesellschaftssystem hat Spuren im städtischen Erscheinungsbild hinterlassen. Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts erstmals urkundlich erwähnt, machte Berlin bald Karriere als Hauptstadt des Kurfürstentums Brandenburg, des Königreichs Preußen, des Deutschen Kaiserreichs und der Weimarer Republik, des Dritten Reichs, der DDR und seit 1990 wieder als Hauptstadt Gesamtdeutschlands. Entsprechend vielfältig, oft auch widersprüchlich ist das architektonische Vermächtnis: Es reicht von Residenzen und Palais über Mietskasernen, die Musterbauten der Avantgarde und das Olympiastadion bis hin zur (ehemaligen) Stalin-Allee. Nach zwei Weltkriegen, Teilung und Wiedervereinigung wird die Stadt langsam wieder zur Metropole, die sie einmal war. Das umstrittene Sony-Center und das neue Regierungsviertel sind die jüngsten Marksteine auf dem Weg dorthin. Für sein neues Photobuch Berlin stellte Gerrit Engel eine Typologie von 170 Berliner Bauten zusammen. Wie schon in seinem 2006 bei uns erschienen Band Manhattan New York geht er auch hier chronologisch vor: Angefangen mit dem ältesten erhaltenen Bauwerk Berlins, der Nikolaikirche von 1230, und endend in der unmittelbaren Gegenwart, David Chipperfields Umstrukturierung der Museumsinsel, werden die historischen Brüche und Verwerfungen ebenso sichtbar wie der oft hilflose Umgang mit einer übermächtigen Stadtgeschichte.


A photographic typology of major Berlin buildings in chronological order and a testimony of the city’s controversial history: from Prussian palaces through to the Bauhaus architecture of the Weimar Republic, the Nazi Olympic Stadium, the Cold War Soviet classicist Stalin Allee, and today’s post-Wall architecture such as the controversial Sony Center.

When German photographer Gerrit Engel moved to New York in 1994 to study architecture, he combed through bookstores in search of a book documenting the city’s most important buildings—not just some eccentric details but each edifice as a whole from the street level to the roof; no fancy photographic distortions but captured as the structures present themselves to the ordinary pedestrian. Having
searched in vain he decided to do it himself. Documenting prefabricated housing estates in East Berlin neighborhood of Marzahn, and Buffalo grain elevators, he knew what he was looking for. What he came up with is no less than a typology of Manhattan architecture: 150 buildings in chronological order of their creation between 1793 and 2005, complete with names of the architects and locations. Engel’s brilliant color photographs present a survey of the mix of styles that make Manhattan a unique architectural environment. We now get what Gerrit Engel had been looking for.

A portrait of Havana before it changes forever. A unique look inside the old mansions of the Cuban capital

Havana. Just saying the name evokes images of bright Caribbean colors, American cars with fins from the 1950s, and once-glorious buildings fallen into ruin. Now that this socialist island country is open once more, this picture will soon change. Now is the time to pause for a moment and take a closer look at Cuba’s capital city. Bernhard Hartmann starts on the streets, showing us cafes, shops, and boxing clubs, but he also takes us behind the facades of the mansions, whose well-worn charms immediately captivate the viewer. Crumbling plaster, cracked walls, worn stair treads — we see all of this in the pictures, and yet these places are vibrant and alive. Traces of bourgeois life, dignified and stylish, survive despite the adversity, masterfully captured in brilliant photographs.

About the Author:

Bernhard Hartmann was born in 1955 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and began working as a photographer for a major German newspaper at the age of 18. While he was still in law school, he became a self-taught landscape and architecture photographer. In addition to solo and group exhibitions in Germany and abroad, his photos have appeared in German and international publications, and many of his pictures have won awards (the Sony Awards, Epson International Pano Awards, and International Color Awards, among others). Bernhard Hartmann particularly enjoys photographing art venues. He has done photo series of opera houses, theaters, and country manors in Europe.

In ad 79, the volcano Vesuvius erupted, burying the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under ash and rock, and leaving them remarkably well preserved for centuries. While Pompeii has been extensively written about and popularized, the remains of its sister city, a smaller yet wealthier community close to the sea, are less widely known, but they have yielded spectacular archaeological evidence.

This is the first major study of Herculaneum since that of Joseph Jay Deiss, published in 1966 and last revised in 1993. And in any language there have only ever been a handful of books available, mostly guidebooks and exhibition catalogues. Herculaneum is based on the latest excavation work and incorporates much new material that has revolutionized our understanding of the site. The book draws on a decade’s work with the Herculaneum Conservation Project which, thanks to the Packard Humanities Institute, has begun to reverse the neglect of previous years which had reduced this extraordinary site to a critical condition. Illustrated with more than 300 newly taken colour photographs and archive illustrations, plus eight spectacular 360-degree panoramas, it is the definitive overview for the general public of what we know and understand about Herculaneum, of what is still unknown and mysterious, and of the potential for future discoveries in both archaeological and political contexts.

A unique glimpse inside a world of luxury, tradition, and splendor. 

Many historic homes in Paris serve as residences to foreign ambassadors; these historical sites are closed to the general public. From a seventeenth-century hôtel particulier, to a Belle Epoque palace, to a distinctively contemporary setting, each residence rivals the next in its beauty, art collection, and period furniture set against a backdrop of accomplished refinement. 

Alain Stella invites us over the threshold inside the most prestigious chancelleries and ambassador residences in Paris — from China and Peru to Egypt and Poland. Tapestries inspired by Goya’s drawings grace the lavish salons at the Spanish residence. Jean Prouvé and Charlotte Perriand created a minimalist interior at the Japanese residence that evokes the refined style of a traditional Japanese home. The palace of Eugène de Beauharnais — home to the German ambassadors since 1818 — retains its elaborate Empire style, intact since the time of Josephine. 

Superb photographs, specially commissioned for this book over the course of a year, divulge the secrets of these previously unpublished artistic and architectural treasures.

About the Author:

Alain Stella is a traveler and writer. He has published numerous books with Flammarion including The Book of Coffee (1997), The Book of Tea (1992/2005), The Little Book of Coffee (2001), French Tea: Mariage Frères—Three Centuries of Savoir-Faire (2009), Distinctive Vintages (2008), and The Book of Spices (2000). 

Francis Hammond’s photographs have been published in French Tea: Mariage Frères and Elegant Entertaining (2009). He regularly works in the fashion and advertising industries, contributes to international magazines, and divides his time between New York and Paris.

Oberto Gili

Издательство: Rizzoli

A visual feast on ‘the extravagance of the bohemian’, the homes in this collection are a testament to personal style that readers will find inspiring and influential. Since the 1970s, Oberto Gili has been one of the most prolific lenses in the world of editorial photography, his lush images of fashion and interiors gracing the pages of House & Garden, Town & Country, and Vogue. This collection of his signature interior photography spans this significant career.

Gili’s passion for the grand, bold, and quirky granted him access to the inner sanctums of both high society and the bohemian demimonde. The selection includes numerous homes of French and Italian nobility, lords of the European and American creative class, and the photographer’s own remarkable Piedmont farmhouse. This volume of Gili’s best work is a sumptuous and voyeuristic study of his most arresting interiors and emphasizes the adventurous nature of both the homes and their occupants. These homes exude in turns grandeur, whimsy, and tranquility, each interior imbued with the unique style of its occupants.

The book features more than 40 homes throughout the world--from New York penthouses and artist lofts to seventeenth-century Italian villas and country homes in Morocco--each personally selected by Gili and shown in full. Each house is accompanied by a short descriptive text by Susanna Salk. Sprinkled throughout the book are 10 short texts by selected homeowners (Isabella Rossellini, Mary Randolph Carter, Muriel Brandolini, Marella Caracciolo, Paul Fortune, and Beatrice Monti, among others) describing a personal history of the individual spaces.

In the post-war decades, Hong Kong architects, many of them having migrated from China or studied overseas, embraced modern principles when forced to face the problems of housing shortage, mass construction and limited budgets in the British colony. Although economic efficiencies often prevailed over design, their buildings were rooted in their time and place, reflecting the local climate, social values, materials, technique and use in an often unique and pragmatic fashion.

With more than 300 buildings and ensembles documented, Hong Kong Modern: Architecture of the 1950s-1970s gives an unprecedented comprehensive overview of the architecture of that transformative period and is unique in combining photography, carefully researched background information and academic essays. The book aims to serve as a visual record and create awareness of the modernist buildings of Hong Kong, and to contribute to a better understanding and discussion of their architectural merit and social, cultural, and historic values.

About the Author:

Walter Koditek is a German urban planner, author and photographer based in Hong Kong. After graduating at Technical University Berlin, Walter’s first professional life had him practicing for almost two decades at various planning/design consultancies and teaching at university. In 2006, he relocated to Asia, where he worked as an urban planning expert in Cambodia and Vietnam. He moved on to Hong Kong in 2014, using the city as a base for his consultant work, and documenting its unique architectural landscape with his camera whenever possible. Walter has always been a strong advocate of cultural heritage conservation. He published the photo book Battambang Heritage (2018, Apsara Books, Hong Kong) and co-authored the Architectural Guide Phnom Penh (2020, DOM publishers, Berlin), before focusing on the modernist architectural legacy of Hong Kong.
