DAM Preis 2022

For the DAM Preis for Architecture in Germany, the museum has nominated 100 remarkable buildings or ensembles resulting from extensive research involving an advisory board of experts. This consisted of Christina Beaumont, Christof Bodenbach, Lydia Haack, Angelika Hinterbrandner, Christian Holl, Philipp Jamme, David Kasparek, Ursula Kleefisch-Jobst, Steffen Lauterbach, Maximilian Liesner, Gert Lorber, Andreas Thomas Mayer, Andreas Reich, Ilka Ruby, Alexander Russ, Heiner Stengel and Finn Warncke. In addition, projects were proposed by the architectural associations of the states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Saxony.

The DAM Preis for Architecture in Germany 2022 has been awarded to ARGE SUMMACUMFEMMER BÜRO JULIANE GREB for ‘SAN RIEMO’ RESIDENTAL BUILDING at Munich. Located in the relatively young Munich trade fair city of Riem, "San Riemo" is highly innovative.

The building cooperative KOOPERATIVE GROSSSTADT had organized its own competition for its first housing project, for which there were 62 (!) submissions. For cost reasons, the realization decision was made in favor of the originally second-place design by ARGE SUMMACUMFEMMER BÜRO JULIANE GREB (Anne Femmer, Florian Summa, Juliane Greb, Petter Krag). Aesthetically, the building surprises with a street front with slender winter gardens behind corrugated polycarbonate panels. Most importantly, the house's matrix-like spatial structure allows for different apartment layouts for different lifestyles, including communal spaces. The jury is convinced: this cleverly thought-out house, which has already been wholeheartedly accepted by its residents, sets standards in the pressing question of the future of housing - and decided to award the San Riemo the DAM Preis 2022. In 2022, the award will for the sixth time be bestowed by Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) in close cooperation with JUNG as its partner – as part of a phased jury process.
