It also includes a selection of Frankfurt’s most interesting public spaces. The exhibition in the DAM will be open until 3 July.
The European Prize for Urban Public Space (www.publicspace.org/en) is a biennial competition, organised by the Centre of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB) in collaboration with the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine (Paris), The Architecture Foundation (London), the Nederlands Architectuurinstituut (Rotterdam), the Architekturzentrum Wien (Vienna), the Museum of Finnish Architecture (Helsinki) and theDeutsches Architerturmuseum (Frankfurt).
The aim of the Prize is to recognise and foster the public character of urban spaces and their capacity for fostering social cohesion, understanding the state of public space as a clear indicator of the civic and collective health of our cities.
