El concurso de reestructuración de la Alexanderplatz, organizado en 1928, en Berlín, ejemplifica un movimiento histórico extraordinario, pues es el momento en que la arquitectura dejó de estar al servicio de un poder autoritario y se entregó a la experimentación de las vanguardias, a la crítica y a la provocación. A partir de este caso, el presente artículo pretende visibilizar la pluralidad proyectual y de debate que se abrió camino a través de los muchos concursos que caracterizaron los años veinte berlineses, y cuyas propuestas han tenido un impacto en las estrategias urbanísticas actuales.
