How do we want to live in the future? Which creative strategies and technical concepts can we employ to manage today s social and economic challenges? There are no simple instructions, no clear answers on how to achieve a better future. Updating Germany features one hundred architectural, artistic, and design projects meant to whet one s appetite for more: architectural designs, research projects, and conceptual models that are currently being developed or realized in Germany. The concepts assembled in Updating Germany open up new perspectives between high-tech and low-tech, the post-fossil landscape and innovative building technology, between ecologically friendly lifestyles and social utopias. A collection of ideas for everyone who feels responsible for creating a sustainable future through architectural design and urban planning. Projects featured (selection): Graft, Werner Sobek, Instant Architekten, Sauerbruch Hutton, Dominik Dreiner, Zaha Hadid, Thomas Herzog, Rolf Disch, Baufrösche, Ingo Vetter, Karo Architekten, bof Architekten, Eike Roswag, Anna Heringer
