"Prison" deals with many different topics by way of meanungful and unconventional scenography: confinement, detention conditions, exclusion, but also reintegration and the role of the judiciary. The exhibition is realized in cooperation with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva, the Musée des Confluences in Lyon and the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum in Dresden. Scenography by Holzer Kobler Architekturen.

The exhibition "Einfach Zürich" (Simply Zurich) deals with yesterday and today of city and canton. Events, developments, personalities and specialities are presented in three both visually and narratively surprisingly-different appointed rooms. In a light manner, the show offers much background information as well as unexpected insights. Concept, content & scenography: Holzer Kobler Architekturen and Heller Enterprises.

(Participation in the vernissage for invited guests only, the official opening being on February 2nd, 2019)

Barbara Holzer is invited to hold a lecture at Bologna's YAC Academy. Within the program "Architecture for Wellness", she presents the wellness area of the Westside shopping and experience center, which she has designed for Daniel Libeskind. For participants only.

The completed building will be officially handed over to the client. Fulfilling the brief of designing a hospital for elderly patients, a four-story geriatric hospital building offering a total of 300 beds as well as extensive facilities has been completed. The volume and height of the new building are designed to harmonize with the building height of the neighboring residential area and surround a protected central space with plenty of greenery. The recesses in the building lend form to its bulk and thus reference the surrounding urban fabric.

Tristan Kobler is invited as a speaker to the Exhibition Design Congress. The theme "Exhibiting the Future" was the challenge he faced, when he created the DASA exhibition unit New Working Worlds, which presents potential scenarios of work in the next decades.

Join Philip Norman Peterson on a tour for professionals through the maze of the Bau 2019. Visitors will discover the unlimited possibilities of the façade. They can bring all of the issues that seem to limit potential for their façades and the group will journey to discover the solutions (in English.)

The winner at the Wolfsburg Award for urban vision 2018 and other nominated submissions will be presented in a public ceremony. Tristan Kobler, who was this year's guest jury member, will give a speech.
