Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Kaum eine Architektur stand in den letzten Jahren in Deutschland so im Fokus der Öffentlichkeit wie der neue Hauptstadtflughafen, entworfen von den Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner. Seit seiner Eröffnung im Oktober 2020 ist der BER nun für alle erlebbar. Dieser Band der Reihe gmp FOCUS bietet Einblick in die Entwurfs- und Planungsgeschichte des Flughafens, der sich durch kurze Wege und ein hohes Maß an Modularität und Nutzungsflexibilität auszeichnet. Basierend auf einem Gestaltungshandbuch für alle Planungsdisziplinen nehmen sämtliche Elemente des Flughafens die Axialität des Gesamtsystems auf und bilden eine architektonisch-funktionale Einheit. Ein Essay von Architekturkritiker Falk Jaeger und ein Interview mit den entwerfenden Architekten liefern Hintergrundinformationen zum Projekt.
