Works by Fernando & Humberto Campana 1989 - 2009
(> 28/02/2010) - Weil am Rhein
Vitra Design Museum

The Brazilians Fernando and Humberto Campana are the most significant designers in present-day Latin America. In addition to designs for international manufacturers of furniture, lighting and home accessories, the majority of creations coming out of their Sao Paulo studio consist of custom-made one-off objects for the home characterized by recycling of found materials, idiosyncratic combinations and a surrealistic impression. The retrospective on the 20-year collaboration between the two brothers emphasizes the artistic working method and explains how the works take shape – from the first sculptures up to the interdisciplinary works of today – based on prototypes, experiments and one-off pieces.

The art of timber construction - Chinese architectural models
(>24/01/2010) - Munich
Pinakothek der Moderne

Models of Buddhist temples, ancient palace complexes and typical secular buildings from different regions were made with extreme precision by apprentices or for documentary purposes at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries in China, based on real or reconstructed buildings as well as on the ideal structures of the Tang (c. 7th¿10th centuries) and Ming dynasties (c. 14th¿17th centuries). All structural details ¿ including the complex timber joints in particular ¿ were carefully copied and documented in these models and, as such, have facilitated the study of ancient buildings. Historical photographs as well as pictures of the structures, drawings and painted architectural views of historical buildings provide an insight into traditional Chinese architecture and construction techniques. This is the first exhibition of this unique collection from the Chinese National Institute of Cultural Property ever to be held outside China.

TV TOWERS — 8,559 Meters of Politics and Architecture
(> 14/03/2010) - Francfort/Main
Deutsches Architekturmuseum

Be it in Moscow, Belgrade, Berlin or Cairo – there is hardly a city or nation wanting to present itself as progressive that has resisted the showy construction of a television tower. According to exhibition curators Friedrich von Borries, Matthias Böttger and Florian Heilmeyer (raumtaktik, Berlin), “the TV towers that have risen up over cities since 1950 are almost always symbols of social change or political and economic power. No other type of building in the second half of the 20th century was as politically charged as the television tower.” A case in point is the Berlin Television Tower. It will celebrate the 40th anniversary of its inauguration on October 3, 2009. This building was not only supposed to dwarf every tower in West Germany, but at the same time to form the pinnacle of the redevelopment of East Berlin’s center. Television towers are still being built today. Two projects are currently underway in Japan and China, both of which have 610 meter-high towers and thus aim to supersede the CN Tower in Toronto as the world’s tallest television tower.
The exhibition will showcase 25 realized or planned television towers in Ashgabat, Auckland, Barcelona, Baghdad, Belgrade, Berlin, Brasilia, Guangzhou, Jakarta, Yekaterinburg, Johannesburg, Cairo, Las Vegas, Liberec, Moscow, Prague, Riga, Shanghai, Stuttgart, Tashkent, Tehran, Tokyo (2), Toronto and Vilnius. There have never been so many TV towers in one exhibition before.

Martin Elsaesser and the new Frankfurt
(> 14/03/2010) - Francfort/Main
Deutsches Architekturmuseum

As Artistic Director of the Municipal Buildings Office, Martin Elaesser (1884-1957) was in charge of large-scale municipal buildings and thus contributed significantly to shaping the New Frankfurt as initiated by Mayor Ludwig Landmann. He planned numerous buildings between 1925 and 1932, ten of which were realized. With the exception of the Großmarkthalle, which was later to become part of the European Central Bank complex, today only a few of his buildings are generally known among the public.
The exhibition presents his known and unknown legacy, with the help of plans, essays, models, a documentary film as well as historic and present-day photographs: A series of municipal school buildings including today's Pestalozzi-Schule (1927) and Holzhausenschule (1929), Elsaesser’s own house in the district of Ginnheim (1926), the indoor swimming pool Frankfurt Ost in the Fechenheim area (1928), the church Gustav-Adolf-Kirche in the district of Niederursel (1928), the conversion of the Palmengarten Gesellschhaftshaus (1930) and of course the Großmarkthalle (1928) as well as other buildings impressively show the wide range of architectural tasks Elsaesser took on during his period in office in Frankfurt. The exhibition will also outline further designs that have not been realized as well as relevant buildings from other creative periods. The show aims to remove Martin Elsaesser from the shadow of architectural history and acknowledge him as a master builder who interwove the latest construction methods with traditional references.

HERMANN KAUFMANN (A) Ecologisch bouwen met hout
(25/02/2010 – 20.00) - Leuven
STUK

Hermann Kaufmann is in Europa één van de pionieren op gebied van bouwen met hout. Zijn werk, dat traditionele materialen en technieken combineert met een zeer hedendaagse vormentaal, wordt algemeen aanzien als maatstaf voor het energietechnisch en ecologisch bouwen van de 21ste eeuw. Het ondogmatisch materiaalgebruik en de verantwoordelijke omgang met de natuur en het landschap staan hierbij centraal.

M08 in China - Contemporary Chinese architects
(>21/02/2010) - Berlin
The architectural market in China is the most dynamic in the world. However, in the People’s Republic it is still the more than 10.000 state-run design institutes, each with more than 1.500 employees, which dominate the scene. Only since 1994 the establishment of private architectural firms has been permitted.
The exhibition is dedicated to showcasing small, flexible and independent firms in China. Their founders are young architects who are holding degrees from western universities, are international networkers and have been successful in competitions. Therefore they represent the real testing grounds for contemporary Chinese architecture. A focus on regional typologies, the rediscovery of traditional handicraft techniques and the attention paid to the specifics of the local context are what distinguishes all eight architectural practices that are shown in the exhibition. This is what sets them apart from the concepts developed by the large-scale design institutes that, having detached themselves from the old Chinese traditions, mainly focus on erecting gigantic buildings in China’s megacities. The work of the freelance architects constitutes only a very small and exceptional part of China’s building activity. Within the context of globalization they are exploring new ways for architecture “Made in China”.

Seismograph City - Hamburg im Dialog
(22/01 – 4/03/2010) - Berlin
Aedes Am Pfefferberg

The City as a Univers defines itself not only as a generator of cultural, social, economic and ecological processes, but also as a seismograph reflecting global developments. The architecture profession bears a significant responsibility and holds a both a supporting and political role, in the context of worldwide challenges to develop sustainable strategies and concepts in architecture and urban planning. Climate change and its impacts present new challenges for cities. In Hamburg, these challenges have guided a re-evaluation of necessary activities in this regard. By means of a comprehensive climate protection programme, CO2 emissions will be reduced by approximately 40% before the year 2020. In 2011, as “Green Capital”, Hamburg will be designated Climate Capital of Europe. This theme will be furthered in 2013, when an international building exhibition takes places with numerous new ecological projects.

Land Lines, Häfner / Jiménez, landscape architects, Berlin
(29/01 – 8/04/2010) - Berlin
Aedes Land

Lines serve the opening up, the bounding, the structuring of Landscape: taking on form as canals, paths, wall edges, acoustic barriers, forest aisles and visual axis. Straight lines, oscillating lines, fat lines, thin lines, broken lines, built lines, imagined lines, single lines, clusters of lines: lines are a fundamental form-giving element of Landscape Architecture.
In the projects by the Landscape Architecture practice Häfner / Jimenez, lines are deployed as constituent elements of unusual lucidity and sharpness, dividing between water and land, nature and culture, inside and outside. The design intent is for lines to be creative agents, that qualify and differentiate surrounding environments, and that give character to newly made open space. As built elements they stage special places, while leaving the remaining landscape undisturbed, or as organisational interventions they manifest the divisions between areas, achieving clarity through sharpness of contrast. They envision a stage and open up distinct places. As a strategy, the line sits, like a precious intarsia, as usable, intensified open/public space in a wider stretch of land.
AedesLand presents the constructed open space projects by Winfried Häfner and his team, and their accomplished competency with Lines in the Landscape: a Berlin water's edge, a noise barrier in Wolfsburg, the regeneration of the lost centre of Staßfurt in the periphery of Leipzig, together with planned projects for Leipzig Harbour and for the Energy Mountain Georgswerder in Hamburg-Wihelmsburg.

Zukunftswerkstatt Architektur
(23/02/2010 – 2.00 pm) – Köln
KAP Forum

Innovation ist das Zauberwort der erfolgreichen Unternehmensentwicklung. Doch wie lässt sich Innovation konkret und wirksam in das tägliche Berufs-Leben integrieren? Die optimale Arbeitsplattform dazu bietet die Zukunftswerkstatt: Schritt für Schritt durch gezielte Intervention und methodische Begleitung bei der Umsetzung werden Vorhandenes optimiert und Neues hinzugefügt. Die fachliche Arbeit und das unternehmerische Wirken „befruchten" sich so zu neuem Gewinn. Ob Marketing oder Prozessmanagement, ob Mitarbeiterförderung, Netzwerken oder neue Berufsfelder, in dem Workshop werden bewährte Wege aufgezeigt und gemeinsam Möglichkeiten erarbeitet, den jeweils richtigen „Anpack" zu finden. Persönliche Erfahrungsberichte von zwei Planern schließlich illustrieren es: Sich kontinuierlich selbst entwickeln, bringt am meisten Gewinn.

De Loketten

Henry van de Velde Label bekroont de visie van de ontwerper en de producent, het zet bijzondere producten in de bloemetjes en functioneert als een internationaal erkende kwaliteitsgarantie.

Dit zodat de afwerking nauwgezet kan worden gecheckt, net als de functionaliteit, de ergonomie, de volumes, … Uiteindelijk besliste de jury om 12 objecten het Henry van de Velde Label 2009 toe te kennen.

Herman Kossmann & Mark de Jong
(> 16/02/2010) - Amsterdam
ARCAM

Herman Kossmann (1958) en Mark de Jong (1960) studeerden beiden af in architectuur aan de TU in Delft. In 1998 richtten zij samen een ontwerpbureau voor tentoonstellingen en interieur op. Naast tijdelijke- en vaste museuminrichtingen, ontwerpen zij interieurs voor onder andere bezoekerscentra, clubs, hotels, themapaviljoens en grootschalige evenementen. In hun werk worden ruimtes geladen met inhoud en verbeelding. Doel is een indringende ervaring, waarbij vaak een mix van verschillende media wordt toegepast.
Het bureau ontwierp o.a. het Dolhuys, museum voor psychiatrie in Haarlem, de Wonderkamers in het gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Café restaurant Bazar in Amsterdam en vrij recent hielpen zij mee aan de herinrichting van bouwkunde in Delft. Op dit moment wordt gewerkt aan een paviljoen voor microben in Artis, een inrichting voor het nieuwe maritieme museum in Helsingore, Denemarken, het Florence Nightingale Museum in Londen en het ‘Urbanian Pavilion’, één van de vijf Chinese themapaviljoens op de Wereld Expo 2010 in Shanghai.

Zwischenzonen
(> 7/03/2010) – Vienna
Museum Moderner Kunst

Die Ausstellung zeichnet mit Arbeiten von 20 internationalen KünstlerInnen ein ambitioniertes Bild vom prekären Zustand einer ökonomisierten und mediatisierten globalen Welt. Die thematische Ausstellung wurde aus den Beständen der bedeutendsten Sammlung gesellschaftsbezogener und konzeptioneller Kunst in Lateinamerik, der Jumex Collection konzipiert und ist durch eine große Medienvielfalt gekennzeichnet.
Ausgehend von allgemein anthropologischen Fragen der Identität und Zugehörigkeit werden Spannungsfelder zwischen Natur, Technik und Ökonomie, zwischen Urbanismus und Entvölkerung, zwischen Multikulturalität und Abgrenzung einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen. Das Ergebnis zeigt in seiner Gesamtheit eine negative Utopie - vergleichbar derjenigen, die Aldous Huxley 1932 entworfen hat - ohne, dass dies ursprünglich intendiert gewesen wäre. Die Ausstellung zeigt neben Werken von Mark Dion, Sam Durant, Mike Kelley, Rirkrit Tiravania, Olafur Eliasson und Jeff Wall vor allem Werke von in Lateinamerika lebenden oder arbeitenden Künstlern wie Francis Alÿs, Gabriel Orozco, Santiago Sierra u. v. a.

Interior Design between the Wars
(> 14/02/2010) – Vienna
Hofmobiliendepot

The Imperial Furniture Collection showcases this specifically Viennese facet of the Modern movement between the wars with examples of complete interiors designed by the architects Felix Augenfeld, Josef Frank, Wilhelm Foltin, Johann Vinzenz Kabele, Walter Loos, Ernst Plischke, Otto Prutscher, Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, Franz Schuster and Oskar Strnad.
The exhibition will also explore the various fates of these architects (e.g. emgration) against the background of contemporary political developments.
A special focus of the exhibition will be devoted to the social aspects of interior design in "Red Vienna", taking the Settlers' Movement as an example.
With exemplary loans from the Vitra Design Museum developments in Vienna will be linked to contemporary European design as a whole and accompanied by timelines of political history and the history of design.

Green Life: Costruire città sostenibili
(5/02 – 28/03/2010) – Milan
Triennale Design Museum

Legambiente, Triennale di Milano e Istituto di Ricerche Ambiente Italia presentano: Green Life: costruire città sostenibili, mostra dedicata agli architetti e alle città che hanno saputo darsi una visione del futuro, hanno adottato strategie coraggiose, hanno messo in atto azioni concrete per un’architettura più sostenibile.
Solo le città sostenibili del prossimo futuro potranno dare speranza a quella metà della popolazione mondiale che è diventata urbana, talvolta cingendo d’assedio i nuclei storici con nuovi agglomerati di fango e lamiera. E’ necessario passare dall’utopia alla realizzazione, per dimostrare che è possibile vivere diversamente negli spazi urbani; bisogna interpellare i saperi, della scienza e della cultura, perché nessuno è autosufficiente. Nel nostro caso Legambiente e la Triennale affrontano il tema mettendo al centro i grandi architetti.

Paul Klee’s body of work is a biography in pictorial form – even if many of his communications are coded and raise more questions than they answer. On closer examination, however, what becomes clear is the large extent to which Klee’s oeuvre is imbued with his character, his life circumstances and his environment. His works demonstrate his fondness for the satirical and the grotesque, but also his need for success and respect. They give an account of his family, his travelling and his ambivalence towards politics and world affairs. Not least, they tell us about his artistic experiments involving Expressionism and Constructivism, the Bauhaus and Picasso.

Formless Furniture
(>14/02/2010) - Zürich
Museum für Gestaltung

In the mid-1960s designers defied conventions in the field of interiors with formless furniture. Inspired by art they experimented with material in order to find alternatives to furniture existing at the time. Their furniture between design and sculpture stood for a new social consciousness and can be seen as a contravention of “Good Design” (Gute Form). The exhibition shows the validity of the maxim “form follows material” which redefined the relationship between form and material. Until today designers have playfully opposed tradition and the marketing of conformist lifestyles. "Formless Furniture" shows seating objects by Gunnar A. Andersen and Gaetano Pesce to Ron Arad with current design approaches of Jerszy Seymour and Big Game. Computer-generated "Blobjects" by Karim Rashid round off this overview of experimental design from the last 40 years.

Global Design
(12/02 – 30/05/2010) - Zürich
Museum für Gestaltung

Globalization, along with all its implications and repercussions in highly diverse areas of society, is a much discussed theme. One aspect which has so far been neglected is the relationship of globalization and design. The exhibition now shows the effects that the globalized world has had on design since the 1970s and how design is developed for the globalized world. It is based on a concept of design which includes architecture, graphics, media, fashion, product and industrial design just as much as the design of spheres of life or product processes. Beginning with global networking in the fields of communication, mobility, production, trade and capital, the focal themes are the presentation of globalization in relationship to regionalism, the container as the primary element of globalization, cultural transfer and global trends. Contributions from artists such as Thomas Demand, Fischli / Weiss, Armin Linke or Allan Sekula illustrate special phenomena of globalization.

Greece
ECOWEEK 2010
13-20 March 2010
The UN Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen may not have yielded the expected results and commitments, but ‘green’ buildings are already in global spotlight and will remain - in Greece too: towards a 20% energy reduction by 2020, the implementation of EU Directive 2002/91 (Greek law N3661/2008 FEK89A) for energy conservation in buildings, for the implementation of the Law for the waste management in construction and very soon the new EU target for energy autonomous buildings by 2016.

The conference takes place under the auspices of the European Institute of Law, Science and Technology and the City of Athens.

The design workshops of ECOWEEK 2010 will be hosted this year, for the first time in Greece, in 20 architectural offices in Athens.

Brave New World
(30/01 – 23/05/2010) - Luxemburg
MUDAM


What do works of art tell us about the world we live in and that we contribute, each day, to (re-)construct, to (re-)form, to (re-)think? Which are the images of our bodies, of our earth, of our cities, of our dreams and of our fears that artists reflect to us? The exhibition Brave New World proposes - from the perspective of Mudam Collection - an open and surprising view of the universe that surrounds us, through art works of more then eighty contemporary artists.
