Greening the City
DAM SchaumainkaiCan GREEN in architecture improve the climate in cities, reduce heat generation, lower the release of fine dust particles, and increase people‘s well-being? It’s time to develop architecture with regard to green spaces, to upgrade urban spaces, and to consider GREEN not just in terms of ecological aspects.
DIE SALONS DER REPUBLIK – Räume für Debatten
DAM SchaumainkaiSchwindende Dialogfähigkeit prägt das politische Klima dieser Jahre in einem Maße, dass demokratische Praktiken zunehmend unter Druck geraten. Um dem Trend zum Rückzug ins „Selbstbestätigungsmilieu“ (Bernhard Pörksen) entgegenzuwirken, bedarf es neuer Räume, deren Atmosphären Debatten nicht nur dulden, sondern stimulieren und kultivieren.
Radical Antiquity Heinz Bienefeld’s Villas and Churches
DAM SchaumainkaiAbove all in the Rhineland in Central Germany, Krefeld native Heinz Bienefeld (1926–1995) designed and realized numerous ecclesiastical buildings and residential buildings over a period spanning some 40 years. It is not easy to categorize the style of his architecture, which alternates between the classicism of a Palladio and the contemporary modern.
