Kunsthalle Mannheim Neue Räume für Kunst Internationaler Architekturwettbewerb

29 architecture studios from all over the world took part in the 2012 competition for the design of a new building to house the Kunsthalle Mannheim. The jury chair described the competition entries as a "mirror of current global architectural developments." This publication presents the architects' original and varied plans for the structure, featuring numerous illustrations. The result is a comprehensive overview of the latest in museum architecture. The winning design by the Hamburg bureau gmp (Gerkan, Marg und Partner) boasts a symbolic presence, a breathtaking experience of space, and intelligent functional solutions. By 2017, a "treasure house" for Mannheim's collection of modern and contemporary art will rise up in the heart of the city. Building a museum is a highly complex architectural challenge, one that museological experts are also examining today with renewed interest. In nine essays, exhibition curators, museum planners, art historians, and architecture critics ask what it means to conceive new spaces for art.
