This edition of the well-established DAM series of architecture annuals offers a close examination of the winning project - a primary school in Munich that ingeniously blends an urban housing development for the whole community with an optimal learning environment for students. Highly adaptive and welcoming, it exemplifies the best practices of sustainability and visionary design. This volume also explores other selected projects either built in Germany or by German architects, including the State Archive of North-Rhine Westphalia; a stunning museum in the Baltic resort of Ahrenshoop; a row of terraced houses in Berlin-Friedrichshain; and the conversion of a metal-working business into a combination of work and dwelling places in the Uckermark District.
