Shining a light on German architecture
Bruno Fioretti Marquez won this year's DAM Award for Architecture in Germany. DW takes a look at his award-winning project and a few other projects "from and in Germany."
New Masters' Houses in Dessau
The jury of the DAM Architecture Award was thrilled by Bruno Fioretti Marquez's "New Masters' Houses" in Dessau - not just for the buildings' design following historic models, but also because Marquez raises the question: How up-to-date is the Bauhaus legacy?
Music from deep down
An extravagant underground concert hall - why not? Architect Peter Haimerl built the hall in the center of Blaibach in the Bavarian Forest. "Unusual," the jury said.
Haven under trees
The Berlin American Academy's Fellows Pavillion is a true eye-catcher. Barkow Leibinger designed and realized the transparent garden home, fully surrounded by nature.
Not a villa
Antivilla is what the architects at Brandlhuber + Emde, Schneider called their buildings in the Potsdam district of Krampnitz. The project involves the refurbished lingerie factory "Ernst Lück" on Lake Krampnitz, southwest of Berlin.
A school for Myanmar
This high school in Thazin was part of an aid project in Myanmar, built with local materials like ironwood, bamboo and bricks. When school is out, the villagers can use the pavillion as a meeting place. Ackermann + Raff are the architects responsible for the project.
Adobe hospital
Architect Francis Kere built a modular adobe hospital in Leo in Burkina Faso. For more architectural gems and surprises, the exhibition at the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt presents architecture "from and in Germany" through May 8, 2016.
