Berlin: Critical Reconstruction The Critical Reconstruction proposed in this book allows for two interpretations – a direct allusion to the urban planning method Kritiche Rekonstruktion developed by the architect Josef Paul Kleihues in the eighties, during the Internationale Bauausstellung – IBA; and the desire to critically reconstruct Berlin, to return to its history, its dilemmas, its controversies, reassessing and debating the results of this method.
