Kunststiftung DZ BANK Exhibition in Frankfurt Asks How We Want to Live Together in the City

Kunststiftung DZ BANK has opened an exhibition in Frankfurt that poses the question: How do we want to live? The show, part of World Design Capital 2026, examines urban life through art, architecture, nature, and social imagination. It argues that architecture is never neutral, as buildings and neighborhoods carry political ideas and social ambitions. The exhibition features four installation-based works that analyze major European urban development models, focusing on how streets, housing complexes, courtyards, green spaces, and meeting points shape communal living. The show responds to global challenges like housing shortages, rising rents, and climate pressure.
