What is the right way forward when facing the great social and environmental challenges that stand clearly before our eyes? The strategy proposed by the commissioners of the German pavilion is to "update" - to improve, correct, innovate in small steps.
20 of these small steps in the hopefully right direction are presented at the German pavilion, projects and ideas currently developed or realized in Germany towards greater sustainability, energy-consciousness and responsible consumption. The accompanying catalogue contains all of the architectural, artistic and design concepts from "100 Projects for a Better Future".
The 11th Architecture Biennale Venice at the Arsenale and Guardini exhibition venues is titled "Out There: Architecture Beyond Building", and takes place from September 14 to November 23, 2008.
