Christoph Rauhut works for the German Cultural Heritage Committee in Berlin.
Niels Lehmann is a Zürich-based architect and architectural photographer.
This stunning volume presents the result of a major undertaking by photographer Niels Lehmann and researcher Christoph Rauhut: to document all the remaining Expressionist buildings in Berlin. Expressionism powerfully heralded the onset of the twenties, and nowhere was it more important or powerful than in Berlin. The buildings that remain demonstrate great creativity with form and skillful use of light, color, and material, highlighting verticality and drama--the essence of the modern metropolis.
