The exhibition focuses on the unfinished areas in the cities of Berlin and New York, which are currently undergoing processes of major change. Berlin-New York Dialogues examines the methods used in this urban transformation. Concrete architectural examples are presented alongside the urban context. Informal initiatives and the people behind these developments, as well as public-sector and cultural commitment, illustrate the mechanism of urban regeneration.

The opening of the exhibition was attended by Regula Lüscher, Director of the Senate Department for Urban Development Berlin, Michael Frielinghaus, President of the BDA (Association of German Architects), Illya Azaroff, Vice President for Design Excellence at the AIA New York Chapter, Kristien Ring, Director of the DAZ, and Wolfgang Nowak of the Alfred Herrhausen Society.

The exhibition will be on show at the DAZ (Deutsches Architekturzentrum), Köpenicker Strasse 48/49 from March 7 to May 4, 2008.
