Ever since the political transformation of 1990, the architecture of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has oscillated between two poles: on the one hand, unconditionally preserving the centuries-old architectural heritage and launching a distinct, new architectural age, on the other. It is in this charged and exciting field that a new responsibility towards built heritage has emerged, inspiring architects to intensively engage with the history of buildings that are to be converted and with the surroundings of a particular site. This type of regionally rooted architecture manages to do without folkloristic endeavors: the issue here is a local approach to architecture, in particular. This architectural guide presents projects of breathtaking diversity and creativity.

"...wobei es eben nicht um die 'Erfindung eines regionaltypischen Formenkatalogs' gehe, so Bartels, sondern vielmehr eine 'ortsverbundene Haltung des Bauens'."
Ostseezeitung, 10. August 2011
"...Somit halten Sie ein Buch in der Hand, das eine gute Übersicht gibt, welche Bauwerke und Architekten in der jüngeren Vergangenheit ihre Spuren in unserem Bundesland hinterlassen haben - als Zeugnis für Baukultur."
