When we stated in our 5 New Design Exhibitions for August 2014 post that there were only three exhibitions opening in August worth recommending, we were, it would appear, being somewhat hasty.
On Thursday August 21st the exhibition Aus allen Richtungen. Positionen junger Architekten im BDA opens at the AIT ArchitekturSalon Cologne.
Presenting works by some 30 young German architects Aus allen Richtungen is a touring exhibition in which each architect and/or architectural practice is given an A3 sized box in which to present their opinion on the current state of architecture and the architecture profession.
Owing to the unique way in which (smow) blog works we have already seen the exhibition in Berlin, Leipzig and Stuttgart.
And can thoroughly recommend it.
It's not always easy nor immediately accessible, is however entertaining and well worth taking the time to explore. In addition to Cologne based Aysin Ipekci from STUDYO ARCHITECTs, Aus allen Richtungen also features contributions from, for example, Christian Brückner (Brückner & Brückner Architekten, Würzburg), Elke Reichel (Reichel Schlaier Architekten, Stuttgart) or Jan Henrik Hafke (o5 Architekten, Frankfurt). And the Solarkiosk project by GRAFT architects Berlin. A project that can also be enjoyed as part of the Bundespreis Ecodesign 2013 Exhibition currently on show at the Umweltbundesamt Dessau
For all in Cologne on August 21st the vernissage takes place at 7.30 pm. For all others Aus allen Richtungen. Positionen junger Architekten im BDA can the be viewed at AIT ArchitekturSalon, Vogelsanger Strasse 70, Barthonia Forum 50823 Cologne until Saturday September 27th.
