Shifting spatial boundaries, opening up the field, widening the view - with our installation we counter the hermeticism of the bunker with suggestive spatial images that create an unexpected permeability and expanse.The installation is dedicated to the desire for space as a core architectural discipline, which we constantly reinvents through a combination of experimentation and precise design.

On the 10th anniversary of the museum we're showcasing 5 museums designed within the past decade. Along with the completed museums in Münster, Frankfurt, and Bayreuth, you can also learn about the under-construction Bauhaus Museum in Berlin and the winning project for the City Museum on the Domplatte in Cologne. Not only photos and visualizations will be on display, but also a concept film, interviews, and a documentation of the tower construction at the Bauhaus Archive.

With projects:

The NIKE is the most important prize of the Federal Association of German Architects (BDA) and is awarded every three years in the six categories SYMBOLIC, ATMOSPHERE, DETAIL, COMPOSITION, SOCIAL COMMITMENT and INNOVATION; a CLASSIC NIKE is assigned to a building from the post-war period. The GROSSE NIKE is awarded in special recognition of a building that meets all six design categories in an outstanding manner. 

The buildings are nominated by the BDA state associations. The Jewish Museum Frankfurt was on the shortlist for the category COMPOSITION.

The new building for events, temporary exhibitions, and a library is located in the former garden of the listed Rothschild Palais, which previously housed the museum. The freestanding volume forms an entrance courtyard with the existing buildings that opens up to the embankments and strengthens the presence of the museum in the urban space. The old buildings are connected by staggering the courtyard area, which simultaneously takes into account the museum’s security regulations. The interior spatial impression of the new building is defined by an atrium, from which all the museum's offerings can be accessed. Library, cafe, and workshops are organized on mezzanine floors around the atrium, a broad stair leads visitors from the event area to the exhibition spaces in the basement and older buildings. The listed buildings were renovated, freed of built-in components, and connected into a barrier-free, clearly structured exhibition space.
