NEW HUMAN, NEW HOUSING
In the 1920s, FrankfurtMain became the center of an unprecedented program of architectural and cultural renewal that would enter the history books under the name of “New Frankfurt”. Under Lord Mayor Ludwig Landmann and his Municipal Building Councilor Ernst May, Modernism as a way of life took shape. The heart of the project was a model housing and urban development program of international significance. Architects engaged by Frankfurt City Building Department both from Germany and abroad performed pioneering work in numerous fields. The exhibition brings together the residential estates and selected buildings of Neues Frankfurt that underpin the city’s reputation as a Modernist stronghold. The exhibition is part of a joint initiative by three museums in Frankfurt — Museum Angewandte Kunst, Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM), and Historisches Museum Frankfurt — as well as Forum Neues Frankfurt to mark the Bauhaus anniversary in 2019.
Funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.
Curator of the exhibition is Wolfgang Voigt, co-curator is Dorothea Deschermeier.
JOYFUL ARCHITECTURE – EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY PRIZE ARCHITEKTURBILD 2019
The European Architectural Photography Prize architekturbild has been awarded every two years since 1995. Since 2003, the award has been bestowed by architekturbild e.v., since 2008 in cooperation with DAM, and since 2016 with a third partner, the Bundesstiftung Baukultur. The competition focuses on the built environment and its photographic and artistic exploration, and always has a predefined motto. The theme for 2019 is “Joyful Architecture”. Normally, architecture is characterized by terms such as utility, urban contextualization, economic feasibility, sustainability, and aesthetics. But we rarely think of architecture as playful amd fun. This year’s prize invited photographers to show their views of joyful architecture — open to many interpretations.

BENGAL STREAM
Bangladesh’s architectural world is masala (Bengali মাসালা) — an intoxicating mixture of contrasts. In the delta region, it is not only the boundaries between land and water that are blurred. Past and present merge anew. An enduring witness to this is the architecture, as the exhibition of 60 projects by established and young Bengali architects shows. Bamboo structures from the past meet monumental walls of béton brut, while Bengali latticework ornaments (jali) originally made from brick transform into semitransparent fabric. This oscillation between local and international influences was already apparent in the modern movement in the Ganges Delta. Hence, there are significant traces of Louis I. Kahn to be detected in the oeuvre of local protagonist Muzharul Islam, which can be seen in original drawings.
An exhibition by the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum, in cooperation with the Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements, Dhaka.
