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 Bamboo structures from the past meet monumental walls of béton brut, while Bengali latticework ornaments (jali) originally made from brick transform into semitransparent fabric.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. –

In the hope that Frankfurt would become the new German capital, the Paulskirche was rebuilt as a potential seat for the parliament in 194748, having been severely damaged by bombing raids. For this building task of national importance, the „Paulskirche Planning Committee“ was established, which, besides the prominent church architect Rudolf Schwarz, included his former staff member Johannes Krahn, the winner of an early competition Gottlob Schaupp as well as Municipal Planning Councilor Eugen Blanck. They wanted to “represent an image of the difficult path that our people must walk in this their most bitter hour” and created a deliberately sober space that symbolizes the new democratic era. By now, the Paulskirche has become a ceremonial hall where nationwide debates have their origin. However, its architectural quality is seldom acknowledged. The exhibition outlines the history of its construction and rebuilding from 1786 to today in parallel with the relevant political and social trends. Numerous historical and current photos are displayed, along with design drawings from the DAM’s collection. Particular attention is paid to the renovations in the 1960s and 1980s, which were accompanied by calls for reconstruction of the church to a pre-war state. These are resurfacing today in light of the approaching technical refurbishment. 
A tradition in Norwegian architecture emphasizes tactile and spatial experiences and reflects the relationship between buildings and landscape. Sensitivity to place, experimental tectonics and profound attention to detail characterize the tradition. Norwegian architecture is challenged by new dense urban development in major cities. The buildings shown in the exhibition are situated in different geographical parts of Norway. Rural settlements have been maintained by means of an ambitious regional policy, supported by the wealth of the oil economy. The selected projects continue and refine a Nordic architectural tradition whose most famous representative is Pritzker Prize winner Sverre Fehn. The tradition is characterized by emphasizing the tactile and spatial experiences, reflecting the relationship between buildings and landscape, and creatively challenging a 1000-year of practice in wooden construction. The projects demonstrate great sensitivity to place, experimental tectonics and profound attention to detailing. In this respect, Norwegian architecture adapts to ecological thinking, influencing also international architects commissioned in Norway. The exhibition “IN NORWEGIAN LANDSCAPES – Hunting high and low” is based on the Norwegian asBuilt book series. The aim of the book series is to exchange built experience by documenting the methods of the architects. 
On September 25 the winners of this year’s competition Houses of the Year have been honored; Callwey Verlag has awarded the prize together with the DAM, Informationszentrum Beton and the media partners Baumeister, AtriuIdeales Heim, n-tv and Neue Zürcher Zeitung. Prize money of EUR 10,000 is attached to the first prize, while other winners receive an award only. The results will be published in the book “Houses of the Year” and presented in the exhibition in DAM. Criteria in making a selection were a creative approach to the rural or urban environment, the spatial design of a private living space and the intelligent interplay between aesthetics, material and construction.
