- Summary
- The Circulation Tank 2 (UT2, 1967-1974) is an enigmatic Berlin landmark that had a preservation order put on it during the lifetime of its architect Ludwig Leo. Leo's UT2 is an emblematic representation of his intellectual and creative approach. The iconic building is a laboratory--a testing ground for flow experiments, for modes of architectural expression, and now, since its restoration, for how to deal with recent monuments. The book focuses on UT2, using it as a means to address a variety of themes: Leo's planning approach, which is now regarded as utopian; the intersecting threads connecting science, technology, and aesthetics that converge here; the social conditions of architectural design and reception; and the role of monument preservation with respect to modern buildings. Ludwig Leo (1924-2012) was a German architect who worked in Berlin. His approach targeted the facilitation of collaborative action and work. Exhibition: Kirowwerk, Halle 9, Leipzig, Germany (20.02. - 22.03.2020) / Bauhaus reuse Pavillon, Berlin, Germany (24.09 - 25.10.2020).
