Venice, with her winding canals and magnificent palaces, has enchanted artists, poets, aristocrats, and visitors for centuries.
Turn the pages of this beautifully produced collection of photographs, and it's easy to see why. For the past two hundred years, Venice has remained practically unchanged, a testament to the glorious, singular design of La Serenissima. In stunning full-color photographs, Bellissima Venice presents the city from numerous dramatic perspectives: From panoramic rooftops, unhurried gondolas, and columned palace galleries. From the Piazza San Marco to San Giorgio Maggiore, from the Rialto Bridge to the Bridge of Sighs, from the Grand Canal to snaking water alleyways, Michel Setboun's exquisite images distill the essence of Venice's serenely seductive beauty.
Melting pot metropolis Glamorous in the Roaring Twenties destroyed during World War II and divided afterwards, rebuilt in the 1950s, and now reunited, Berlin is a city of vibrant contrasts where diverse cultures form a multihued urban fabric. Derelict former Communist neighbourhoods have been reincarnated as haunts for artists and designers while elsewhere the city`s old traditions are also still very much alive.
Places Angelika Taschen recommends you stay while visiting Berlin include everything from classic hotels like The Regent Berlin, bed and breakfast-style pensions such as Nürnberger Eck and Askanischer Hof in Charlottenburg, or the serviced apartments Lux 11 in Berlin-Mitte.
And of course, none of the hotel books would be complete without a copious helping of hotspots to visit and places at which to eat and drink during your stay. Favourite recommendations for Berlin: include Ludwig Mies van der Rohe`s New National Gallery, the Helmut Newton Foundation, currywurst stand in Prenzlauerberg where Berlin's signature dish was invented and a ballroom nearly a century old.

A photographic journey into the city's history
Berlin has survived two world wars, was divided by a wall during the Cold War, and after the fall of the Wall was re-united. The city emerged as a center of European power and culture. From 1860 to the present day, this book presents the story of Berlin in photographs, portraits, maps, and aerial views. With nearly 700 pages of emotional, atmospheric images, from giddy pictures of the Roaring Twenties to devastating images of war to heartwarming postwar photos of a city picking up the pieces - the Reichstag in ruins and later wrapped by Christo and Jeanne-Claude - this is the most comprehensive photographic study on Berlin ever made. More than a tribute to the city and its civic, social, and photographic history, this book especially pays homage to Berlin’s inhabitants: full of hope and strength, in their faces is reflected Berlin’s undying soul.
• Including images by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helmut Newton, René Burri, Robert Capa, Thomas Struth, and Wolfgang Tillmans as well as well-known Berlin photo-chroniclers such as Friedrich Seidenstücker, Erich Salomon, Willy Römer, and Heinrich Zille.
• Quotations from Berliners and Berlin connoisseurs such as Vladimir Nabokov, Alfred Döblin, Herwarth Walden, Marlene Dietrich, Billy Wilder, Max Schmeling, Willy Brandt, Helmut Newton, Simon Rattle, and David Bowie.
Also included: an index of photographers’ biographies.
Berlin was shaped by the events of the twentieth century in a process of “automatic urbanism.” More than any other metropolis, the city absorbed the forces of that epoch — modernity, fascism, two world wars, Stalinism, socialism, the Cold War, revolt, capitalism — and gave them form. This book shows how even today, opposed ideological, political, economic, and military forces continue to produce unplanned structures and activities and urban phenomena beyond the categories of urban design and architecture that conceal rich potential. Berlin reveals particularly clearly phenomena that have shaped urban development in the twentieth century in other places as well: conglomeration, collision of borders, destruction, void, mass, metabolism, and simulation. The present book, which caused a sensation when first published in German twenty years ago, is now being published in English for the first time. Its surprising and informative analysis of Berlin as a prototype of the modern city destroys the ideologies of heroic modernity as well as the new nationalisms and shows how the modern city “as found” can become the point of departure for new forms of context-specific architecture and urban planning.
Taking Berlin as a prototype, Philipp Oswalt’s lucid analysis describes how much the built environment of cities is influenced by the unintended side-effects of political, economic, and technological processes. This “automatic urbanism” reveals modernist master-planning and national building traditions as being a myth. Instead, the book offers a both socially and ecologically more sensitive, more responsible approach to develop cities “as found.”

This English edition of Philipp Oswalt’s now-classic study could not be more timely. Every effort to understand the modern city must contend with Berlin, the twentieth century’s anti-capital. Its lessons, presented here with singular insight and authority, remain necessary to anyone thinking about what that word — “city” — might still mean today.
Reinhold Martin, Columbia University New York
Berlin has never only been a theatre in the battle between ideas and ideologies. Rather, it has always been the material means by which these ideas clash against each other. If the struggle for our futures must take place in Berlin, as our historical moment seems to demand, there is no better guide than Philipp Oswalt’s now classic Berlin: City Without Form. His scholarly ingenuity and perceptive architect’s eye are only matched by a commitment to the future of his city.

Архитектурный облик Берлина сформировался под влиянием совокупности факторов, которые Филипп Освальт объединяет термином «automatic urbanism». Город запечатлел в себе стили, идеологии, политические системы и трагедии прошлого века – и облек их в архитектурную форму. В этом исследовании показано, как противостояние идеологий, политических, экономических и военных сил порождает спонтанные строительные и градостроительные явления, выходящие за рамки архитектуры и урбанистики и обладающие значительным потенциалом.
Облик Берлина также определяется влиянием иных глобальных факторов (что характерно и для многих мегаполисов Европы): образованием конгломератов, вопросами спорных границ территорий, масштабными сносами, дисбалансом пустот и плотной застройки и проч. Эта книга произвела фурор еще двадцать лет назад, когда была опубликована на немецком языке. Теперь она впервые переведена на английский. Не теряющий актуальности подробный анализ Берлина как образца современного города разрушает идеи героического модернизма и нового национализма. И сегодня Берлин XX века становится вдохновением для новых форм в архитектуре и градостроительстве.
This richly illustrated volume offers a comprehensive insight into this metropolis' boundless diversity. In sensitively written texts the author presents a journey through the most significant stages of Berlin's artistic and architectual history, from its beginning to the present day. More than 600 splendid photographs document the eventful artistic and cultural development of this extraordinay city, which to this day is famous for its pulsating life. The Reichstag building, the Brandenburg Gate, the Palace of Charlottenburg, and Potsdamer Platz are only a few of the many stops the viewer can explore in detail.

More than four centuries on from its first publication, discover one of the jewels of urban cartography and civic studies.
This quality reprint includes the most enchanting colour plates from the Civitates orbis terrarum, a magnificent collection of town map engravings, produced between 1572 and 1617.
Featuring plans, bird’s-eye views, and maps for all major cities in Europe, plus important urban centers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, this masterwork in urban mapping gives us a comprehensive view of city life at the turn of the 17th century. It was edited and annotated by theologian and publisher Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but also involved over a hundred different artists and cartographers who contributed not only town views, but additional elements, such as figures in local dress, courtroom scenes, and topographical details, to help convey the situation, commercial power, and political influence of each city.
TASCHEN's reprint contextualizes the plates with selected extracts from Braun’s original texts on the history and significance of each urban center as well as detailed commentaries to place each city map in its cartographical and cultural context.
