We warmly invite you to the opening of the exhibition UMBAU by gmp Architekten on Thursday, November 13, at 7 p.m. at the Architekturgalerie München.

UMBAU signifies the continuous transformation of the existing built environment. In light of today’s climate goals, renovation must shift from being an exception to becoming the standard. With this aim, gmp presents a current selection of around 100 renovation projects from the office as concrete case studies – including two projects in Munich: the Isarphilharmonie and Halle E at Gasteig HP8, as well as the European Patent Office building. What these projects share is their conceptual approach to UMBAU: based on a thorough survey of the existing structures, the old is continued and developed as an architectural evolution. Practice shows that renovation also needs to integrate new interventions and overlays. UMBAU is not a one-time act but a continuous transformation that will carry on into the future and span generations.
In this spirit, the exhibition, first shown at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale and subsequently presented in Hamburg, Berlin, New York, and Shanghai with each city emphasizing different aspects, in Munich offers a particular focus on local projects.

Wednesday-Friday 5pm-7pm 
Saturday-Suunday 12pm-7pm
