Wandel Hoefer Lorch & Hirsch
Pinakothek der Moderne, 09.12.2010 – 06.03.2011

How can history be captured in space and structure and carried on, respectively? The architects Wandel Hoefer Lorch & Hirsch have been dealing intensively with this question like no one else before in the field of architecture. Already during their years of study they won the competition for the redevelopment of the Börneplatz in Frankfurt as a memorial place. It was followed by the memorial “Track 17” in Berlin-Grunewald, the construction of the synagogue in Dresden, the Jewish Centre at Jakobsplatz in Munich, the Documentation Centre Hinzert and other buildings, where in each case a specific history is architecturally designed in a completely new way, appropriate to the topic in question. The exhibition at the Architekturmuseum der TU München for the first time shows a representative cross section of the architects’ projects, who have won a distinctive, memorable and unrivalled profile within architecture during the past fifteen years.
