Too Hot

Owing to climate change, cities are getting ever hotter – with tangible consequences. Heat, drought, water scarcity, and flooding, all make it clear how urgently urbanspaces need to be rethought and redesigned.

Suburbia

Lush lawns, blue swimming pools, double garages: Suburbia delves into the (visual) worlds of American suburbia – politics, architecture, pop culture and adver – tising have shaped desires . The exhibition traces the rise of suburbia through photos , films, literature, historical
material and art projects and illustrates the historical development of these buildings during the economic boom of post-war Germany with home stories from the magazine Schöner Wohnen.

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.

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.
