Abstract
After WWII, residential buildings were badly needed in Germany, and Berlin's reconstruction brooked no delay. Meanwhile, the rise of modernism put forward the Athens Charter to be the mainstream of urban renewal. The ”Kollektivplan” of Berlin, which was based on the Athens Charter, became the basis for reconstruction. Situated at the frontline of USA and USSR, East and West Berlin interpreted the ”Kollektivplan” to reflect the outlook on human life. In 1957, the International Building Exhibition (Interbau 1957) was held in Hansaviertel, West Berlin. Master architects from all over the world were invited to unfold their works with the aim of creating prospective buildings and urban designs. In this meaning, the Expo could be seen as the future residential model and had a profound influence on worldwide urban designs thereafter. Today, from the vision of the Hansaviertel sixty years, we can foresee the development of habitations.
