About this event

The exhibition invites you to explore the interplay of repetition and variation in architecture and design, from the serial buildings of the New Frankfurt movement to today's prototypes for sustainable construction. Through case studies, models, and design objects, it shows how serial strategies shape our everyday world and where they allow for individual adaptation. The programme is complemented by open discussion evenings – the Serienparlamente – as well as guided tours and hands-on workshops.
