Learning from Las Vegas
In view of dwindling oil wells, the United Arab Emirates have began to
look about for alternative sources of income, and have hit upon tourism,
art and culture. Here luxury is a matter of course. "The best of
everything" seems to be the motto. German museums are also taking part
in co-operations in Dubai.

ARCHITECTURE

Dossier: Urban Development
A Temporary Home: Transit Architecture
More and more people are on the move, on private trips or for business. A global society requires people to be willing to lead mobile and flexible lives both at work and at home.

Guidebook to a Better World
While the Venice Art Biennale will be taking place for the 53rd time next year, the Architecture Biennale that is currently being held has reached its 11th edition. And the range of participants still keeps on growing. 55 countries are there this time, promoting themselves in the palazzi of Venice and the 32 national pavilions at the Giardini, in addition to which there are numerous themed exhibitions, installations and events.

DESIGN AND FASHION


Preferably Print - The Bureau Mario Lombardo
Designs by Munich fashion designer Ayzit Bostan combine contrasts playfully: wearable without being commercial, simple and complex at the same time - and always suitable for everyday wear. Insiders have considered the label a secret tip for years. Ayzit Bostan is making fashion with substance - for women and men who don't want to be different from how they are.

LITERATURE

Well-Known Unknowns
Everyone is familiar with book illustrations and infographics, yet most of the artists themselves are unknown. While the art of illustration is enjoying a renaissance in neighbouring countries, this has yet to be the case in Germany. The German Association of Illustrators wants to redress this.

MUSIC


The Elbe Philharmonic - A Musical Challenge
Construction of the Elbe Philharmonic is underway, with its opening planned for autumn, 2011. Hamburg’s creative artists are not alone in seeing a new landmark for their city in this spectacular concert hall: the image of the city as a whole will be changed by this building. Both opportunities and risks – and above all a great deal of effort to improve the Hanseatic city’s musical profile are bound up with it.
