Nichts Neues - Besser Bauen mit Bestand

For the 11th Hamburg Architecture Summer 2026, we are bringing the exhibition “Nothing New – Better Building with Existing Structures” from the German Architecture Museum (DAM) to Hamburg together with Architects 4 Future and the network PIA – Women in Architecture eV.

We don't just show the exhibition – we take it further.

Because building within existing structures is not a niche topic for experts, but a central future issue for our city that affects everyone.

Instead of glossy models behind glass, we offer models that you can build yourself.

Instead of keeping your distance: Participate.

Instead of just looking: Try it out, rebuild it, rethink it.

Projects such as the Gängeviertel, PARKS (Alster-Bille-Elbe PARKS), the renovation of Kampnagel, and the Gröninger Hof showcase and discuss Hamburg's perspectives. The exhibition thus becomes a local inventory.

A diverse program of interactive workshops, tours, visits, and lectures will accompany the event. Topics such as circular construction, craftsmanship, social issues in the construction industry, and sustainable urban development will not be considered separately, but rather interconnected.

In this way, the exhibition becomes a space where generations, professions, and perspectives come together and ask the following questions:

How can we continue building when we already have everything?

The exhibition was curated by Katharina Böttger, Jonas Malzahn and Mathias Schnell (studio central) and extended for Urbaneo by Paulina Krebs, Maire Cordts, Ina Möller, Heidi Fletscher, Adrian Ebert, and Tanja Willhalm (Urbaneo, PIA - Women in Architecture eV and Architects 4 Future Hamburg).

An event as part of the Hamburg Architecture Summer 2026.

Nina Porter: Sample Question

Sample Question marks the first institutional solo presentation of Porter and comprises new works commissioned by the Kunstverein in Hamburg on the occasion of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg: Alliance, Infinity, Love - in the Face of the Other, to be held in the downstairs gallery of the Kunstverein. Porter’s recent work reconstitutes the dynamic between camera, subject, and image, diffusing emphasis throughout their network. Alongside a series of photographic prints, the work has distinctly sculptural features, although it is orientated neither toward outcome nor process, but instead toward observations of evanescent phenomena – the gaps between seeing and perceiving, for instance. The material components of Porter’s practice behave like elements of an exchange that channel toward an intangible space, at once indexing time and accentuating the volume of a moment and all it has the potential to contain.

Offener Gartentag im Naturerlebnisgarten

On our "Open Garden Days," we warmly invite everyone to stroll through our beautiful nature experience garden. Discover the diverse habitats within our garden and experience firsthand the rich biodiversity among the ponds, orchard, and wildflowers. Our hammocks invite you to relax, our information board always offers interesting materials about nature and climate protection to take away, you can purchase honey from our beekeeper, and perhaps have a chat or two about organic gardening with our volunteers.

You can also rent canoes as part of our "canoe4nature" project and help clean up the canals in Wilhelmsburg Island Park. #canoe4nature

Olivia Jones’ BUNNY BURLESQUE Show

The St. Pauli "must-see": With steamy shows at "BUNNY BURLESQUE," Olivia revives the golden era of the Kiez. A touch risqué, yet always classy and with a wink. International stars of the burlesque scene take the stage (Stella Lake, Lady Lasagna, Candy Pia, Setty Mois, Masha Champanskaya, and many more). Even Dita Von Teese—Hollywood’s number one burlesque star—has visited the Bunny Burlesque, and the venue has hosted celebrities such as Udo Lindenberg, Dolly Buster and many others.

Burlesque is an art form that celebrates the act of undressing rather than nudity itself. Through their art, burlesque dancers tell short stories; they never reveal everything, as imagination is often more arousing than the bare facts.

Since 2026, men have also been part of the show, joining our sultry female dancers.

Show duration: approx. one hour; no intermission; age 18+ only.

IMPORTANT: Doors open approx. 30 minutes before the show. Tickets not claimed by 5 minutes before the event start time will be forfeited and may be resold at the door.
