“UMBAU. Nonstop Transformation” is a New York exhibition with an international focus, hosted by the Goethe Institute. UMBAU (conversion) means the continuous transformation of existing structures. Considering today’s climate goals, UMBAU must move from being the exception to becoming the rule. This exhibition contributes to that goal by discussing projects by the architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) as illuminating case studies of recent conversion practices dealing with the architectural heritage of the modern movement. What the projects have in common is a conceptual approach to UMBAU, which, starting from a comprehensive inventory of the existing fabric, continues and develops the original work as an architectural evolution. Taken together, gmp’s projects show how UMBAU must also integrate new settings and superimpositions. UMBAU is not unique, but continues into the future as a “nonstop transformation” — a collaboration spanning generations. **Tours Daily**: 11am, 12 and 1pm Guided tour of the exhibition with the architecture firm gmp’s lead architects, Stephan Schuetz and Magdalene Weiss last about 45 minutes, up to 20 people at a time.
