Full Description

The first German building exhibition took place in Dresden in 1900, establishing a curatorial practice that lives on today in the International Building Exhibitions (IBA), which continue to draw millions of visitors. Von der Weltausstellung zur Bauausstellung explores twenty international case studies—some of which have been researched for the first time—to trace the architectural history of major exhibitions that have left a lasting imprint on cities and regions. The author demonstrates how organizers appropriated the typologies of world, industrial, decorative arts, and colonial exhibitions, and how architecture, spatial design, and representation shaped and influenced each other. She follows the development from the Great Exhibition of 1851 to the Interbau of 1957, examining communication strategies, industrial prefabrication, urban and settlement concepts, as well as strategies of inclusion and exclusion.
