IBA Hamburg GmbH | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

International Building Exhibitions (IBAs) are 'booming' at present. Such heightened interest mirrors a greater demand for quality in urban development and architecture. Every IBA is unique and un-repeatable; it makes an impact because it facilitates action outside of customary routine. The basis on which to secure and develop the IBA brand has now been laid down with the foundation of the network of IBA meets IBA. This title documents the establishment and discussion process based on statements by planners and architects and introduces the core element of the network, The Future of International Building Exhibitions memorandum. It sets down key points and voices recommendations concerning the implementation of an IBA.
