[Architecture] Wettbewerb Gross-Berlin, 1910

Die preisgekrönten Entwürfe mit Erläuterungsb. Berlin, E. Wasmuth, 1911. (4),22,39,32,76 p. With twenty (col.) (double-p.) lithographed plates, loose in original portfolio. 49 x 34 cm.

Portfolio worn, plates somewhat yellowed/ foxed, edges worn. *The Wettbewerb Gross-Berlin was a landmark architectural competition aimed at unifying the Greater Berlin area, then still a patchwork of towns and villages, and creating a monumental city centre "whose distinctive character [would be] decisive for the image that citizens and foreigners should carry in their hearts." The projects reflect a broad range of urban visions, incl. monuments designs for the "Köningsplatz" (now Platz der Republik). Very rare.
