"Throughout the past century, it has been a commonplace to identify Berlin with continuous change, destruction, renewal, and experimentation."
"Critical Reconstruction reaches back beyond world wars, dictatorships, and modern urban experiments and finds a Berlin identity in the decades before 1914."
