berlin: The Latest Architecture and News

Summer School 2026

Crafted by Place reveals Omar Gandhi Architect's evolving practice as works shaped by terrain and material — anchored yet looking forward. Rooted in Canada's raw coastal and urban settings, OGA's buildings emerge from land and craft: resilient to climate, responsive to local narratives, and always carefully honed.

Rooms that resonate, colours that breathe – the exhibition presents a multifaceted chapter of Ingeborg Kuhler's œuvre bringing together travel sketches, watercolours and technical drawings to create a dialogue that renders architecture tangible as visual poetry.

The question whether distinctive features marked the drawings and creative process of architects and planners in the GDR may seem obvious, but looking at individual pictures alone is unlikely to lead to new insights. During the decades of specific GDR architecture, up to the mid-1980s, East German planning offices worked with the standard tools used all over the world. As everywhere, talents were unevenly distributed, each design collective having its own particularly gifted “drawing ace” to provide the decisive visualisations of a building idea for important project presentations or competition submissions. So it would be quite possible to illustrate a stylistic history of four decades of GDR architecture with the help of selected drawings from various years and regions.
