• da!-exhibition: award-winning projects of Berlin in and from Berlin 2004
• Chronological review of the architectural year 2003
• The most important controversies concerning architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning, summarized in editorial contributions.

The yearbook of the Architektenkammer Berlin presented itself with a new look in the year 2004, published for the first time by Verlagshaus Braun. Not only the format, but also the graphic appearance of the book had changed. Both aspects reflected the change in editorial style while maintaining the high content quality of the publication.

The tested topics of the yearbook remained unchanged – primarily, of course, the documentation of outstanding and award-winning architectural projects of Berlin of the previous year – the only compilation of its kind. In addition, critical contributions concerning the urban planning, landscaping and other developments of the sector created an impetus and pointed to what lies ahead.

Furthermore some questions will be brought up, questions about the future of the Schlossplatz as well as about the quality of some Berlin hotel buildings; questions and discussions about architecture, realized and planned projects – which may not turn Berlin into a spectacular and glamorous city, but definitely make the capital to one of the most interesting and exciting architectural cities in Germany.
