DAM: DEUTSCHES ARCHITEKTUR JAHRBUCH 2017 / German Architecture Annual 2017

For almost forty years now, the German Architecture Annual, is- sued by the Deutsches Architekturmuseum of Frankfurt am Main (DAM), has published crucial information about ongoing con- struction projects in Germany. In a review by well-known authors, the German Architecture Annual presents a shortlist of twenty German buildings, determined by the jury for the 2017 DAM Preis for Architecture in Germany. The museum’s curators, as well as renowned architects and architectural critics, have an overview of one hundred nominations for the year. In the 2017 edition, in ad- dition to the special appreciation for the winner of the DAM Preis for Architecture in Germany, a finer selection of finalists is be- ing portrayed for the first time. A separate chapter is devoted to buildings by German architects abroad, in which three buildings are presented. The essays deal with the urgent topic regarding the future of housing construction, as well as Germany being represented abroad through educational and cultural buildings.
