描述

In Kassel, the documenta will take place from June 6 to September 16, 2012. It is considered the world’s most important contemporary art exhibition. An international competition for architecture students took place for the new or redesign of event halls previously housed in containers, in which 411 students from 18 nations took part. The results presented a seminar of the University of Kassel under the direction of T H Fischer of ATELIER 30 architects on 238 pages in a book, which has now appeared under the title “documenta center of information and communication”.

It conveys richly illustrated – in addition to a description of the task and the reasons given by the jurors – also background to the documenta, as well as an impression of the submitted and awarded works in excerpts.
