Description: Architekturbild, the European Architectural Photography Prize, has been awarded on a two-yearly basis since 1995. Since 2003, the prize has been awarded by architekturbild e.v., a non-profit organization, and since 2008 in cooperation with the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt, and since 2016 with the Bundesstiftung Baukultur, Potsdam/Berlin. The theme for 2019 is 'Joyful Architecture'. We rarely think of architecture as comforting, fun and playful. Therefore, the book presents examples of architecture that playfully and positively impact the built environment and its inhabitants. These examples can be understated or cliched, autonomous or in dialogue with their surroundings, hidden or obvious.00Exhibition: Deutsches Architekturmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany (03.05.-01.09.2019).
Notes: Chiefly illustrated.
