A film by architectural photographer Jens Weber and portrait photographer Orla Connolly about how sacred architecture embodies the human urge to give meaning and understand existence itself, or simply anything.
Long takes, combined with music by Wolfram Oettl, draw you into a surreal trance.

Our way chapel in Dillingen an der Donau is one of the chapels shown.

The film will be shown in various cities in Germany and Europe.

The awards are presented every five years by the Association of German Architects in Hesse. For the period 2018-2023, ten projects received the Johann Wilhelm Lehr Plaque.

An ensemble consisting of a chamber music hall, academy and hotel was built between Victoriapark and the S-Bahn station in Kronberg, providing Kronberg Academy with optimal conditions for the musical training of young talents from all over the world. The new buildings, integrated into the rising terrain, are grouped around a public urban space, at the highest point of which the concert hall lays with its far-reaching roof. Its all-round glass façade allows views right into the free-form concert hall.

Building Client Award for Historic Towns 2022 - Recognition

The Working Group of Historic Cities is an association of the cities of Bamberg, Görlitz, Lübeck, Meißen, Regensburg and Stralsund. Its Building Award has been awarded every four years since 1998. It honours examples of high-quality development and the strengthening of historic city centres and is intended to provide inspiration and motivation for building in the old town. 

The Jewish Community Centre was built in the old town of Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the site of the synagogue destroyed in 1938. The staggered new building, constructed in a contemporary architectural language, ties in with the low eaves and gable houses of the old town and creates a close connection to the street space with courtyards and views.

The potential of the site

With the touring exhibition "Sorge um den Bestand" (»caring for what already exists«), the BDA would like to initiate discussion in various cities about effective strategies for the preservation of our building stock. In Bonn, the Stadthaus is the focus of the supporting program. It is one of several post-war buildings in the city that are threatened with demolition. In his guest lecture, Volker Staab will broaden the view and present the situation-specific approach of his office in dealing with existing buildings.

The house of the church is located on a prominently situated site on Ulrichplatz in front of St. Ulrich and St. Afra’s Abbey in Augsburg. The new construction is an ensemble comprised of three buildings—the regional bishop’s office, the church office and the parsonage—which were coordinated with the surrounding historical architecture in regards to volume and scale.

BDA Prize Berlin 2021 – Honorable Mention

Every three years, the Association of German Architects (BDA) Berlin honors architects and clients for special architectural achievements in Berlin. Laboratory buildings are rarely among those honored. This makes the honorable mention for the research building of the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin Mitte all the more gratifying.

The highly flexible building, designed for communication, provides a stimulating working environment for the center's changing top research teams. Situated in a heterogeneous courtyard, two wings of different heights minimize the shading of the surrounding buildings and form a forecourt set back from the street, which is enlivened by the main entrance and the institute‘s conference hall.

Building on landmarked sites: The idea of the place

The University of Salzburg, together with the Austrian Federal Monuments Office and the Salzburg Architecture Initiative, is hosting a three-day conference on the handling of listed sites. Contributions from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland will be presented and report on architectural practice, the experiences of the monument offices, and the scientific perspective.

Volker Staab will talk on the idea of place, in which he questions the commitment to a seemingly correct strategy in dealing with monuments and uses built examples to show how different the approach can be when it is developed from the building task and the site. The question of whether the original substance or rather the idea of the site is the key to an appropriate strategy also plays a decisive role here.

The regional architecture prize is awarded every three years by the Association of German Architects BDA Augsburg-Schwaben. The Siegfried and Elfriede Denzel Foundation commissioned seven architects, in addition to our office Hans Engel, John Pawson, Wilhelm Huber, Frank Lattke, Alen Jasarevic and Christoph Mäckler, to design wooden chapels along newly created bike paths in the district of Dillingen. 

Our chapel fits into a small group of trees with a slender wooden tower, that is visible from afar. The chapel space, open to the landscape and formed of wooden slats, is bounded by a cross, which the wooden supporting structure draws into the opening.

The university's cooperative project with the John Deere company is researching three-dimensional projections of objects and environments. The play with perception, reality and illusion became the central theme of the design and is reflected in both the facades and the interior of the building.

We designed a small, peaceful place in the community of Böbingen: A bright white roof is suspended in the middle of the forest, a white gravel field tracing its outline on the ground, marking an abstract space - enigmatic, attractive and open to visitors on all sides.
Next year, the award-winning project will take part in the award procedure for the Hugo-Häring State Prize.

The project is an example of our understanding that only the combination of contextual influences, programmatic and spatial requirements with a coherent construction concept, enables architectural quality. We like to replace the term constructive with the term structural. The focus of our approach is not the technical dimension of supporting and joining but rather the interplay of material, spatial characteristics, and the resulting logic of joining. It results in an inner grammar of the building structure, which underlies each of our buildings in different formulations.

German Brick Award – Honorable Mention

The German Brick Award is presented every two years by the Southern Brick Center under the patronage of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community. The prize is awarded to buildings and engineering structures that make particularly forward-looking use of the building material. 
The Science and Restoration Center in Potsdam houses the collections and workshops of the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation. The specially fired bricks of the new buildings are matched in color to the historic buildings on the edge of the palace park and help to sensitively integrate the ensemble into the surroundings of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Park Sanssouci.

Martin Elsaesser badge, BDA Frankfurt

The BDA Frankfurt awards the Martin Elsaesser plaque for exemplary architecture every 5 years. 
Our project Max Planck Institute for European Legal History was built on the edge of the Westend Campus of the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe University. Clear edges and a distinct ground level tie the building into the urban context, but overlap with the independent form of three towers on the upper floors, which house the individual sections of the institute.

Architecture in Context

Work lecture series of the LWL and the BDA Münster-Münsterland

The basic idea of the lecture series 'Architecture in Context' is the reflection and mediation of the manifold aspects of context-related building, focussing on the urbanistic solution approach and the historical reference to the found situation. In addition, a social-cultural localization of the chosen structural solution takes place.

The Building Culture Award of the Brandenburg Association of Architects and Engineers is awarded every two years to projects from all areas of building planning. 
The restoration center for the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation sits on the site of the former Hans Otto Theater directly adjacent to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Park Sanssouci. The special prize honors the integration of the new buildings into the complex context of existing buildings.
