General survey exhibition "Less is Future"

10 April to 16 October 2010 in the Bauhaus Dessau building

The general survey exhibition in the Bauhaus Dessau presents the various projects of the IBA Urban Redevelopment 2010. The exhibition gives insight into past, present and future of the state of Saxony-Anhalt and the 19 cities participating in the IBA. From the presentation of each city’s innovative design projects, an overall picture of eight years of urban redevelopment emerges.

Nineteen audiovisual installations on the historical significance of the locations introduce visitors to the IBA cities. The transition section provides detailed insight into twenty years of urban development after German reunification. Artistic works, statistics and maps showing the causes and effects of the decline and make clear the reality that the IBA Urban Redevelopment 2010 initially encountered. The heart of the exhibition are the interventions and projects that have been implemented within the framework of the IBA since 2002. Labs focus on the themes city type, landscape, heritage of the built environment, education and identity. Work processes are visualized and the actors presented.

The exhibition dares three future scenarios in closing: a view of Saxony-Anhalt in 2050 with respect to the development of climate, landscape and city. Urban issues that will gain in importance due to ongoing demographic changes worldwide.

Accompanying the exhibition will be guided tours, exhibition talks and placement programmes for school classes.
