gmp—On Old Foundations

Aedes Am Pfefferberg, Christinenstraße 18–19, 10119 Berlin

The architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) are known worldwide for their large-scale projects such as airports, sport venues, train stations, and cultural buildings. Their work with historical buildings is less known. This exhibition, which was first curated for the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale, presents 32 projects, explaining the different possible approaches to this problem. This creates a multi-faceted kaleidoscope of the many architectural options available. What is also evident is that engagement with the history of a place is a necessary part of responsible building development.


JOVIS launched a new publication series with gmp: gmp FOCUS. The series documents an exemplary selection of gmp buildings, by means of detailed texts and photo galleries by renowned culture journalists, architecture critics, and photographers.
