| Summary: | In this book, the subject of silent rooms or still lifes is discussed with reference to historical city photographs from the period around 1900, photographs of turn-of-the-century Berlin taken by Ulrich Wüst, and current project panoramas and collages from the Büro Klaus Theo Brenner Stadtarchitektur. For the purposes of 'Silent Rooms,' these works are understood in the context of an artistic interpretation of urban space that views them as a theatrical situation in the relationship between urban architecture and city-dwellers. The concept of silent rooms refers to the pictorial representation of urban spaces that, beyond any fashionable marketing trends, are the focus of our perception and give us cause to think about the quality of modern urban architecture. |
