Architekturführer Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Olaf Bartels Ed(s)

Ever since the political transformation of 1990, the architecture of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has oscillated between two poles: on the one hand, unconditionally preserving the centuries-old architectural heritage and, on the other, launching a distinct, new architectural age. It is in this charged and exciting field that a new responsibility towards built heritage has emerged, inspiring architects to intensively engage with the history of buildings that are to be converted and with the surroundings of a particular site. This type of regionally rooted architecture manages to do without folkloristic endeavors: the issue here is a local approach to architecture, in particular. This architectural guide presents projects of breathtaking diversity and creativity.
