Focusing on Berlin's destruction during World War II and its reconstruction after the end of the war, this book offers a rethinking of how the practices of destruction and burial combine to reform the city through geography and how burying a city is intricately tied to forgetting destruction, ruination and trauma. This book is valuable reading for those interested in Architectural Theory, Urban Geography, Modern History and Urban Design.
