Hamburg, March 5-27, 2024

Exhibition at AIT-ArchitekturSalon Hamburg Opening: March 4, 2024, 7:00 pm

In Hamburg the travelling exhibition by gmp presented four of the more than sixty projects in gmp’s nearly fifty years of UMBAU experience as specific examples of current UMBAU practices that deal with the architectural heritage of the 20th century.

What the projects have in common is the conceptual approach to UMBAU which, starting from a comprehensive inventory of the existing, continues and further develops the old as an architectural evolution. In practice, UMBAU must also integrate overlays and new suppositions. UMBAU is not unique, but continues into the future as a nonstop transformation, as a project of social sustainability spanning generations.

UMBAU. Nonstop Transformation debuted in Venice in 2023. At the AIT-ArchitekturSalon in Hamburg, the exhibition took on a regional focus that included the at that time recently reopened Alsterschwimmhalle. The project was contextualized by the Isarphilharmonie Gasteig HP8 in Munich (in use), the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts (under construction), the Columbus Cruise Terminal in Bremerhaven (planned), and an excursus on all gmp’s conversions in Hamburg, from 1977 to the present.
