This architectural yearbook brings together a varied cross section of the best recent architecture in Germany as well as the most exciting and innovative projects by German designers and builders abroad. Since 1981 the DAM (German Architecture Museum) has been recognizing the best architecture its country has to offer. Opening with the DAM-prizewinning project--the new art museum in Ravensburg designed by Lederer + Ragnarsdóttir + Oei--this volume also features a number of stunning buildings that include a synagogue and community center in Ulm, the new reading room at the Staatsbibliothek Unter den Linden in Berlin, a villa in South Germany, and an environmentally conscious glass house. The book's feature essay investigates the challenges associated with large-scale construction in Germany and beyond.
