Every building—and every architect—has a tale. Bringing these tales together, determining where they overlap, may give us “telling” urban tales. What can be told is what has the right to remain, to avoid oblivion, allowing words about buildings and cities to renew and increasingly enhance urban matter. This is the job conrad-bercah imposes on himself and, by extension, on the reader. It is a tale, the testimony of experience gained over time—a self-heterography of an architectural form that leads one to discover both an author and the urban scenario within which the tale takes place: Berlin.

conrad-bercah is the founding director of c-b-a (www.c-ba.it), an architectural design office that has developed a variety of projects in Europe for public and private clients. His professional activity merges with the complementary activities of drawing and writing. Berlin Fragments. (2019), Berlin Transfert. (2021) and Berlin Stimmung (2022) form a Berlin aesthetic trilogy on architecture and city. Other texts include bercahaus (2020), that documents the construction process of a multi level timber residential building in Berlin; Modernism. An American wake (2002) and Fogli di Architettura (2022) which provide aesthetic atlases of ideas revealed by a series of drawings investigating the mysterious relations between time and architectural form. His drawings have been exhibited in Florence (Palazzo Vecchio), Rome (casa dell’architettura, Galleria Embrice) and Milan (Spazio Arena). The architectural drawing series called the Anticity that is coming (2020) won the 2021 competition ‘La città come cultura’ held by the Triennale di Milano and the Maxxi museum in Rome.
