Since 1981 the German Architecture Museum has been recognising the best architecture its country has to offer. Opening with the DAM-prizewinning project - the new Art Museum in Ravensburg designed by Lederer + Ragnarsdottir + Oei - this volume also features a number of stunning buildings that include a synagogue and community center in Ulm, the new reading room at the Staatsbibliothek Unter den Linden in Berlin, a villa in South Germany, and an environmentally conscious glass house. The book's feature essay investigates the challenges associated with large-scale construction in Germany and beyond.
