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.

Open House Essen returns this September, once again opening doors to buildings that are normally closed to the public. On the festival weekend, everyone is invited to come along, step inside, and gather impressions—whether with a special interest in architecture or simply with the desire to explore their own neighbourhood. What matters most is curiosity about how a city grows and changes.
