Currently, the architecture of the sixties isput under scrutiny. Frequently, its poor constructional conditions force renovation, conversion – or even demolition. Not only among experts do opinions differ when assessing the quality of the buildings of the time. The exhibition in the Liebfrauenkirche in Duisburg, organized by the M:AI and both designed and realized by the Stuttgart based company jangled nerves, picks up on this ongoing discussion: not with nostalgic recollection but rather with a differentiated point of view. Hardly any time after the Second World War has been spurred with so much transition, experimentiveness, technique euphoria and the quest for a modern, contemporary expression.

The architecture exhibition is not shown in a museum but instead in various edifices from the sixties. The exhibition system is based on the idea of a conventionalized architecture firm: on the desks the most important architectural projects are presented, in the plan chests information about additional edifices is provided, in the shelves memorabilia from the time are exhibited and at the conference table visitors are invited to discuses the main exhibition theme.
