Curated by Sabine Schirdewahn and Matthias Wagner KIt is the dream of many city fathers: an architectural masterpiece that is nationally and internationally recognized as an urban landmark and accepted as a public space in the midst of a lively urban culture. Such important cultural buildings have also been built in the five Nordic countries in recent years. The joint exhibition of the Nordic embassies not only shows the architectural visions behind the projects and their implementation, but also shed light on the role that these buildings play in the urban landscape and society. The thematic guidelines include sustainability and energy efficiency, light, art and design, materials, technology and acoustics as well as urban planning.
