The Entire City

Around 40 competition and planning procedures take place in Hamburg every year, and although only one design can win, other submissions are equally rich in ideas and proposed solutions. The creative wealth that planners and architects bring to every design task and thus to the urban discourse will be made accessible to the public in a three-week exhibition designed and curated by Kawahara Krause Architects and the architecture critic Kaye Geipel. The installation is designed to allow visitors to experience the wealth of submissions visually and spatially, and entries are organised into seven themed groups ranging from living to the productive city, from open spaces to new mobility, from district planning to the transformation and re-use of existing buildings.

An extensive programme of correlated events invites urban society, experts and politicians to actively continue the discussion about building culture and urban design, architecture and participation.
