DAM Preis 2026

The DAM Preis 2025 goes to Peter Grundmann Architekten for the ZK/U Center for Art and Urbanistics in Berlin

OUT OF STORAGE

Since its foundation 40 years ago, the Society of Friends of Deutsches Architekturmuseums (DAM) has been helping expand the museum’s collection – by acting as an intermediary, by acquisitions and donations of plans, drawing, photographs, models, and books

ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTION KITS 1890-1990

Everyone knows Lego. But before the Danish company conquered the international market there were hundreds of firms that from about 1880 onwards produced a variety of construction kits.

Plan. Werk. Stadt.

Even building culture education does not have to be dispensed with in times of DAM reconstruction! Whether on site in the interim DAM Ostend quarter or mobile in schools, in the city and on the web – equipped with ideas and material, we will visit you wherever you need us.

GRÜNDUNGSAKTE:N

A cooperation project of the Wüstenrot Foundation and the DAM.

In the coming months, previously unknown documents from the founding phase (1979 to 1989) will be brought to light and commented on on the research blog.

Become a friend

The Gesellschaft der Freunde des Deutschen Architekturmuseums e.V. (Friends of DAM) was founded in 1985 and supports DAM in the realization of its public duties, both in ideal form and materially. Can we count on you too?

The DAM Preis 2024 goes to GUSTAV DÜSING & MAX HACKE for the STUDIERENDENHAUS  OF THE TU BRAUNSCHWEIG

The DAM Preis 2024 goes to GUSTAV DÜSING & MAX HACKE for the STUDIERENDENHAUS OF THE TU BRAUNSCHWEIG

The DAM Preis 2024 goes to GUSTAV DÜSING & MAX HACKE for the STUDIERENDENHAUS OF THE TU BRAUNSCHWEIG: The jury was particularly impressed by the wonderfully light, open student house on the campus of the Technical University. The filigree structure of the building is also extremely sustainable, as the steel and glass construction can be completely dismantled and reused. The backstory includes an unusual and exemplary competition procedure that was advertised and organized by the Faculty of Architecture among the academic staff.

We are deeply shocked by the attack on Israel by the Hamas terrorist organization.

We are deeply shocked by the attack on Israel by the Hamas terrorist organization.

Our thoughts are with the victims of these cowardly acts of violence and with their families. Nothing can justify the excesses of violence against the Israeli population.

The City of Tel Aviv-Yafo is the twin city of Frankfurt am Main. For several years, the Liebling Haus - The White City Center is a close partner of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM). We stand by the side of the people there and throughout Israel.

In 2023, the Frankfurt Book Fair and Deutsche Architekturmuseum are once again inviting all art and architecture book publishers worldwide to participate.

The DAM for kids and young people

The DAM’s education program offers children, schoolchildren, and adults access to architectural topics in a playful and practical way. We want to accompany children and young people into the world of architecture, and that begins on their own doorstep. The diversity of the topic makes it possible to connect to the lifeworld of our young guests and to introduce them to building culture and design possibilities.
