On the occasion of Prof. Wolf D. Prix's 70th birthday, the Architekturforum Aedes in Berlin is devoting an exhibition to Coop Himmelb(l)au.
On view through January 24, 2013, the exhibition begins with a backward glance at the founding year of 1968 and the theoretical roots of this architectural partnership.
It then proceeds with a detailed presentation of 7 buildings chosen by Wolf Prix, each from a different decade, and each with special significance for his oeuvre as a whole, before concluding with a foretaste of future projects.
On the basis of a range of media, the exhibition provides a retrospective of more than 40 years of continuous architectural practice, joined by a highly personal forecast of the studio's future.
