Description

Fresh from their success with "Modernism London Style", hailed by The Financial Times on 29.6.13 as 'this gorgeous photographic survey', photographer Niels Lehmann and editor Christoph Rauhut present their latest exciting project.

Fragments of Metropolis documents all the remaining Expressionist buildings in Berlin, arguably the movement’s most important architectural centre.

The architecture of Expressionism heralded the onset of the roaring twenties.

Berlin's remaining Expressionist buildings demonstrate a great creativity of form and a skilful use of light, colour and material.

In contrast to the Bauhaus architecture of the same era, they sought complexity, vertical enhancement and drama to create the modern metropolis.

Fragments of Metropolis documents 120 buildings in Berlin and its environs with Niels Lehmann's new photographs, drawings, an illustrated index of every building, and maps that divide the locations into areas.

In celebrating the birth of the metropolis Berlin, the book is the rediscovery an important part of the city's heritage.
