Synopsis “Liebe Deine Stadt” is Cologne’s answer to Singapore’s en-bloc frenzy.
The German initiative awards oversized medal ribbons and XXL-letter heads to buildings of the recent history. Several buildings of outstanding architectural quality have been commended in this way in the last two years. Most of these buildings were previously in the blind spot of both professionals and public, many of them designated for demolition and redevelopment before “Liebe Deine Stadt” celebrated their existence so visibly. What has started as an artist’s installation has now become a successful movement with prominent supporters.
The Talk “Liebe Deine Stadt – Love your City” in WOHAGA introduces the German initiative. Patrick Bingham-Hall’s photo exhibition of the same name, also showing in WOHAGA explores the Singaporean context and counterparts. |
