  • Goethe is(s)t scharf

    Small but powerful: Chilis are breath-taking, tear-jerking, hot as hell–and as indispensable in Southeast Asian cuisine as salt and pepper are in German dishes. That’s why the Goethe-Institut libraries in Southeast Asia now take a closer look at the “harmless plant with the devious little fruit” in its series “Goethe is(s)t scharf”.

  • ARCHlab

    Architecture and urbanization characterize the global culture and society of the 21st century like little else. In short video portraits, international architects talk about a building designed and realised by them and retrace how they developed their designs. They keep asking themselves the question: How do we live and work in the future? Our video series ARCHlab shows the answers architects have found to questions like these.
