Summary:"What would it have been like to live in the island of West Berlin during the 1960s? What impact did the experience of the post-war context have on the global student movement in the city? By reconstructing the cultural atmosphere of the time and considering the site of West Berlin not only as a city, but also as a home, this book seeks to understand how the world was viewed by the protesting students; how the urban space they were living within influenced their political viewpoint, and how the cultural outputs of the generation created a uniquely symbiotic relationship with the world. This book will paint a picture of the transfer of ideas between a variety of intellectual and cultural sources by combining theories that influenced the students' perception of the world with the events centred around the key year of 1968. The intention is to come to an understanding of how the experience of living in West Berlin combined with architecture, and the arts more generally, to form the critique of urban planning and, by extension, society as a whole"--
