Through their buildings, the architects Wandel Hoefer Lorch & Hirsch (Saarbrücken/Frankfurt) demonstrate their special way in dealing with politically and historically controversial sites. Whether within the context of Dresden's addiction to reconstruction, the precarious idyll of a former detention camp for political prisoners in the Hunsrück region, or the geopolitical tectonics of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, the principle followed by Wandel Hoefer Lorch & Hirsch is not based on a given architectural language, but is governed by an intensive quest for a specific spatial approach and the strategic use of materials. The exhibition provides an in-depth insight into the architects' work with numerous drawings and models of projects such as for the Synagogue in Dresden (2001), the Documentation Centre in Hinzert (2006), the Jewish Centre at Jakobsplatz in Munich (2007) and the Hybrid Highrise in Tbilisi (2010).
