The Helmut-Hentrich-Foundation, established in 2001, invites BA graduates in architecture to apply for two travel grants over 5000 EUR. The foundation’s goal is to reward excellent bachelor theses.
Barbara Holzer, professor for design at the Peter Behrens School of Arts in Dusseldorf, is a member of the jury that selects the grant holders. Submission deadline is May 18, 2018.
Barbara Holzer is a member of the jury who will award this year’s DETAIL prize. From April 3rd to 30th, 2018, planners can submit projects realised anywhere in the world for all building types that are characterised by special details within a coherent overall concept.
The intervention by participants of the studio "Scenic Spaces" of PBSA I HSD in cooperation with #ADA aims at challenging economic growth and private consumption — and at offering alternatives. Will we have to do with less in the future, and how can we free 'less' from connotations such as failure or setback? How can we achieve sufficiency? How can buzz word sharing economy contribute to more fairness in society? And who is provided that what actually "ready to share"?
Another KITAG cinedome is opening on April 5h, 2018! In Muri near Berne, the movie theater hosts 10 auditoria, among them an IMAX screen, up-to-date technology, and outstanding design. The project is a collaboration with meierpartner architekten.
The new issue of the Humboldt Forum newspaper features an article in which Barbara Holzer and project partner Nathanaël Gourdin from graphic design studio Gourdin & Müller explain the concept of the corporate design and the way finding system. In the PROCESS section, the whole article can be read.
Heinze’s lecture series Smart Skin: Fascinating Building Envelopes features Barbara Holzer as a speaker. She presents various projects that show that simple facades can have multifaceted talents.
The GRIMMWELT building, architecture by kadawittfeldarchitektur, is one out of ten to receive the Simon-Louis-du-Ry-Plaque, a prize that is annually awarded by the Association of German Architects (BDA) Kassel and Central Hesse. An exhibition that presents all submitted projects will open the same evening, running until April 22nd, 2018.
The first project I’d like to present is an archaeological research and experience centre called paläon. Paläon is in its own right a small archaeological museum housing a permanent exhibition, a temporary exhibition space, pedagogic rooms, an archaeological laboratory, a shop, and a res- taurant with spaces for meetings and events. The museum is located next to the archaeological site where seven wooden spears were discovered in 1994. Those are over 300,000 years old and therefore turned the current research upside down as they are the oldest hunting weapons known to humankind.

A new English book publication just came out to which Philip Norman Peterson has contributed with the article "Building beyond the Periphery". Dynamics of Periphery. Atlas for Emerging Creative and Resilient Habitats addresses possible future habitat developments that start off in the outskirts. "Starting from architecture, urban design, and territorial planning, this book aims at interfaces between design and research towards dynamic roles of peripheries", as publishers sum up.
