8- 9 March 2018
Alte Akademie
In 2018, we turn our attention to the economic foundations of architecture and the city. What does building in the city mean, given the expanding globalisation of the real estate industry? Worldwide property sales are rising: driven by the search for safe investment opportunities and low interest rate policies, nearly every buyer group imaginable is entering this market.

+ Super-Jury
„Four Walls and a Roof. The Complex Nature of a Simple Profession“
Reinier de Graaf, OMA, Rotterdam
In his new book, Reinier de Graaf describes the close interplay of architecture, real estate, financial markets and politics in a clever and humorous way with a healthy dose of sarcasm and a keen sense for the absurdity of self-appointed “starchitects”.
Where does the building process leave room for added value that cannot be measured in terms of cash or concrete? Contributing a political perspective is Prof. Dr. Kurt Faltlhauser, who has overseen the construction of numerous cultural buildings in Munich and Bavaria over the past nine years as the Bavarian Finance Minister. The event venue itself will be a topic: reconstruction plans for the Alte Akademie by Austrian real estate entrepreneur René Benko (SIGNA Holding) have been approved recently after a long discussion.
