The Bauwelt Berlin Annual documents the architectural transformation of the new German capital in six volumes. The newest volume in the series presents the city's most important architectural events and topics in 1997. Prominent buildings continue to rise in the center of Berlin.

In addition to urban projects, five new suburbs are presented, ranging from garden-city to stone-block, and Berlin's neglected waterfront is documented in a series of air views that cover the north-to-south course between the New Towns Spandau Lake (Kees Christiaanse et al.) and Rummelsburg Bay (Herman Hertzberger et al.).

Articles in volume 62 include: Staging and Storytelling, Theatre and Film: Richard III at Stratford; The Theatrical Biosphere and Ecologies of Performance; The Afro-Caribbean Identity and the English Stage; A Riposte to David Mamet: Heresy and Common Sense in True and False; Form as Weapon: the Political Function of Song in Urban Zimbabwean Theatre; 'Aphrodite Speaks': on the recent Performance Art of Carolee Schneemann; Theatre and Urban Space: the Case of Birmingham Rep; Across Two Eras: Slovak Theatre from Communism to Independence; Whatever Happened to Gay Theatre?
Empire of Vines
Empire of Vines traces the development of wine culture as grape growing expanded from New York to the Midwest before gaining ascendancy in California—a progression that illustrates viticulture's centrality to the nineteenth-century American projects of national expansion and the formation of a national culture.
