Description
Around the beginning of the twentieth century, women began to claim Berlin as their own, expressing a vision of the German capital that embraced their feminine modernity, both culturally and architecturally. From residences to restaurants, schools to exhibition halls, a visible network of womens spaces arose to accommodate changing patterns of life and work.
Although the phenomenon of women taking control of urban space was widespread in this period, Despina Stratigakos shows how Berlins concentration of womens building projects produced a more fully realised vision of an alternative metropolis. Many of the projects analysed in A Womens Berlin represent a collaborative effort uniting female patrons, architects, and designers to explore the nature of female aesthetics and spaces.
