More about the book
Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the most prominent exponent of Neoclassicism in Prussia, is celebrated for reshaping Berlin as Prussia’s capital and for initiating the Greek Revival in Germany. Many of Berlin’s famous Neoclassical structures, such as the Neue Wache, the Schauspielhaus, the Gendarmenmarkt, and the Altes Museum, are attributed to him. His Bauakademie of 1836 is seen by many as a precursor to the austerity and clean lines of German Modernist architecture. Schinkel is also recognized for his legacy of architectural drawing and unbuilt works, making this book a definitive primer on Schinkel.
