Reframing Berlin is about how architecture and the built environment can reveal the memory of a city, an urban memory, through its transformation and consistency over time by means of ‘urban strategies’, which have developed throughout history as cities have adjusted to numerous political, religious, economic and societal changes. These strategies are organised on a ‘memory spectrum’, which range from demolition to memorialisation.It reveals the complicated relationship between urban strategies and their influence on memory-making in the context of Berlin since 1895, with the help of film locations. It utilises cinematic representations of locations as an audio-visual archive to provide a deeper analysis of the issues brought up by strategies and case studies in relation to memory-making.Foreword by Kathleen James-ChakrabortyA new volume in the Mediated Cities series from Intellect

An exciting new interdisciplinary and intercontinental volume that brings together scholars and practitioners working at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, and digital media.Space in the Image focuses on cinematic and photographic portrayals of the built environment, from individual buildings to entire cities. It addresses a timely and relevant topic, reflecting the prominence of urbanization and the widespread use of digital audiovisual media in architecture, planning, and design. The work engages with both contemporary practice and current debates in the field.In light of the growing ubiquity of media platforms and the immediacy of digital representation, the contributors critically examine the evolving relationship between spatial experience and its mediated forms. These inquiries are situated within the broader context of accelerating urbanization, making the book timely for architects, urban designers, planners, and media theorists alike. Rather than treating images as static records of the past, the volume interrogates their role as active participants in shaping contemporary urban life, identity, and memory. Space in the Image offers a compelling reflection on the dynamic interplay between experience and representation at the close of the first quarter of the twenty-first century.
