The subject of architecture has always played a leading role at imm cologne. The planning of buildings and the design of interior spaces show a considerable overlap, as evidenced by the ever-growing interest in the furniture fair. For those interested in the art of building and urban design, the Cologne Exhibition Centre will again be organising a number of exciting bilingual architecture tours in German and English.
Alongside bus tours of the highlights of Cologne’s 2000-year-old architectural history there will also be tours of the post-war reconstruction architecture of the 1950s, as well as tours covering architecture and lighting design. A walk through the newly designed Rheinauhafen will take in the most ambitious modern large-scale building project in Cologne.
An additional tour will also visit the spectacular, newly built Kolumba Art Museum as well as the monolithic chapel in the Eifel region, both important works of the Pritzker prizewinner Peter Zumthor. A tour of the galeries of this city of the arts, along with a gastronomic tour featuring some of the best of the local dishes and specialities, rounds off the program.

Floor plan templates are out. Flexibility and individuality are the distinguishing features of up-to-date domestic architecture and furnishings. Or is it just that there are new templates? At the very least, it is possible to outline general structures that will determine the layout of our future homes.
It seems as if action is called for – especially when it comes to standard housing.Your own four walls, a house in the countryside: a place to live out your twilight years and something to leave to the kids. But even without a deed of ownership, the “Ikea nesting instinct” (Chuck Palahniuk: Fight Club) is more widespread than ever before.
