Panel discussion

Young Love - A New Perspective on Postmodernism and Post-Reunification Modernism

It is argued that the architecture from the 1980s to 2000s is gaining recognition for its historical importance, prompting discussions about its preservation. During a panel experts will explore the uniqueness of post-modernism and post-reunification modernism, questioning whether different preservation strategies are required for these newer buildings as demolition rates increase.
