Emerging Identities EAST: Berlin I Bratislava I Budapest I Ljubljana I Prague I Riga I Tallinn I Vilnius I Warsaw

Posted on 30. October 2011 by kristienring

More than 90 young architects and their offices have been introduced at the exhibition „Emerging Identities – EAST!“ at the German Center for architecture DAZ. Starting in Berlin, the exhibition presented an
architectural journey through contemporary built culture of the Central and Eastern European cities of the European Union. The focus of this journey, which is documented in the exhibition and catalogue, is the young generation of architects and their built projects. These themes will be explored in depth at the opening symposium “Positions” as well as in a country specific accompanying programme.

Emerging Identities – EAST!
focuses the still undiscovered, vibrant, young architectural scene of Germany’s Eastern EU neighbours.

Emerging Identities – EAST!
Introduces this new generation and fosters international dialogue.

Emerging Identities: through the common language of built space trends, positions, planning goals and cultural developments of a country become readable. Emerging Identities – EAST! focusses on the driving forces and protagonists of new architecture in Europe’s East from Berlin to Tallinn and Ljubljana. It is, for instance, not only the new public buildings, but far more the many small built interventions that represent current cultural tendencies in those cities. It is the young, not yet internationally published architects that develop projects out of their own initiative and idealism that define the emerging architectural scene.

30 of these built projects are presented and explored in detail in the exhibition curated by Kristien Ring. The buildings embody, independently from their country of origin, strong conceptual thinking and consequent implementation of the concept. Additionally, `country islands’ with country specific projects will illustrate: what and how much is built in the single states, and in which urban environment. Finally, every participating architect selects a building of relevance from his/her country for the `country islands’.

Emerging Identities – EAST!, in this way, also represents a personal perspective on the built culture of Slovenia, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Baltic States. (
