This book takes a fresh look at Plattenbauten, the iconic residential buildings that Berliners love to hate; celebrating the beauty of their textural details and discovering a microcosm of twentieth-century urbanism in the story of their construction.
JESSE SIMON has spent the past several years documenting urban patterns, decorations and letter-forms for his Berlin Typography and Berlin Texture projects. His most recent book, Berlin Typography, was published by Prestel.
