(March 17, 2004) Munich’s Center of Architecture is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its founding by staging six weeks of lectures, workshops, conferences and exhibitions. Prime among: a display of pictures painted by Martin Triebswetter of skylines in New York, Berlin and Istanbul.

The Center, which recently moved into its new and widely-hailed home in Munich’s Messestadt Riem district, has been, over the last five decades, one of the seminal venues for architectural and urban planning endeavors.

A house built by one single man. This doesn’t necessarily sound like a subject worthy of a Center exhibition—except when the man in question is blind. Also now on tap at the centeris an elucidation of the great controversy gripping Munich’s planners: whether to authorize the buildings of further skyscrapers in what traditionally has been a low-rise city.

The Center is open every day of the week from 9 am to 7 pm.
