Johannes Bennke investigates in „Bauen und Bild / Building Images“, how images not only document the architectural and restorative handling of cultural memory, but also help to shape it. Therefore his book presents for the first time a photographic record of the reconstruction of the Neues Museum, Berlin, by David Chipperfield Architects @dca.berlin.

It‘s the first entry of <struct>, a new series at intercomverlag that aims to publish cultural analytical research about architecture. In the series, the aesthetic, referential and spatial elements of design should play a key role in conveying knowledge in the book medium and it‘s influence on the perceivable meaning is going to be addressed.

The book is also being published as entry into the series Berliner Schriften zur Museumsforschung, Institut für Museumsforschung, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz and Schriften des Internationalen Kollegs für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie, University of Weimar.
