Power, Flows, and Transformation
Portraits of Berlin-Brandenburg Energy Spaces
Energy is everywhere—yet the vast infrastructural networks that power our daily lives remain largely invisible. Accounting for three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions, the energy sector stands at the center of our climate crisis and the transformations needed to address it. This book examines energy supply as a spatial and material phenomenon, exploring the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region through maps, drawings, texts, and photographs. It reveals the hidden geographies connecting energy production and consumption across scales—from household transformations to citywide configurations and regional supply networks. Tracing the flow of fossil and renewable energy carriers through territories, towns, and streets, Power, Flows, and Transformation offers a multi-layered portrait of our energy spaces past, present, and future.
This book is a result of BB2040 and various teaching formats at the Habitat Unit. It has been financially supported by the Robert Bosch Foundation.
