Mezzanine floor "U-30"
On October 6, 2015, the “U-30 Special Edition” of Hochparterre, a magazine for architecture, planning, and design, will be published. The issue showcases what inspires the next generation of designers and how and on what they are working.
The discussion initiated in the magazine will be continued at the vernissage in the "Atelier U-30". The October issue of Hochparterre magazine is published as a special edition, written and designed by a young, interdisciplinary team. The issue is dedicated entirely to the next generation of designers. By talking to 14 architects and designers of this generation, it aims to find out how they assess their situation and the future. The 14 protagonists show their own buildings, products and projects. In addition, the established designers Kaschka Knapkiewicz, Trix and Robert Haussmann, Martin Leuthold and Patrick Frey act as role models for the younger generation. They look back on their beginnings and explain what they expect from the younger generation.
