FRANCE

JARMUND VIGSNAES ARCHITECTS, OSLO: LOST IN NATURE

La Galerie d'Architecture, Paris

20 April-19 May

Part of Norwegian architects Jarmund Vignaes' exhibition features built work (AR Dec 2001, Sept 2002, Dec 2005) in close relationship with nature. The other part focuses on the actual production of architecture, with some of the office temporarily moving to the gallery: sketches on walls, models, site documentation, and background material encourage interaction with the audience and invite public commentary.

100 YEARS OF DEUTSCHE WERKBUND

Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich

Founded in Munich in 1907, the Deutsche Werkbund believed that industrialisation was a threat to the national culture of Germany and so aimed at improving the quality of German products by reconciling art, craft and industry.
