Architecture Forum AedesThe Architecture Forum Aedes has become one of the most successful institutions internationally for communicating architectural culture, urban design and similar topics. Aedes is associated world-wide with the great names of the architectural avant-garde and offers an excellent platform for new generations of architects in a global context. With its continuous work, Aedes has evolved into a unique cultural brand which enjoys an outstanding reputation.

Aedes strives to focus public attention on the cultures of building and architecture and to present and convey architectural visions, sustainable urban concepts, urban planning and landscape architecture. In more than 350 exhibitions and catalogs in the typical Aedes format, renowned architects and current Pritzker-Award winners such as Zaha Hadid, Thom Mayne, Daniel Libeskind, Frank Gehry or Rem Koolhaas presented their work long before acquiring world fame. In addition to 10 to 16 exhibitions per year, the dialog with outside experts and an interested public is supported by simultaneous symposia, series of lectures and discussions.

Aedes normally welcomes almost 10,000 visitors to each exhibition and monthly records around 15,000 hits on its website. Over 5,000 interested individuals receive the Aedes newsletter. World-wide more than 600,000 people a year from higly diverse backgrounds – architects, designers, journalists, engineers, politicians, urban planners, industrial representatives, and the culturally interested- are in touch directly or indirectly with the activities of Aedes. Long-standing partnerships, numerous project sponsors as well as private individuals have enabled this success just as much as the positive coverage by the national and international press.

Aedes was founded in 1980 by Kristin Feireiss in Berlin-Charlottenburg as the first private architecture gallery in Europe. In memoriam Kongresshalle Berlin was the title of the opening exhibition, which became a groundbreaking success.In 1985 the architecture forum Aedes West moved to the S-Bahn vaults at Savignyplatz. In 1995, under the name of Aedes East, another branch was opened in Hackesche Höfe in Berlin-Mitte by Kristin Feireiss together with her partner Hans-Jürgen Commerell. Since 1996, the team is reinforced by Ulla Giesler, cultural scientist.

Thus far, the architecture forum has received numerous awards and honours for its successful work. In 2001, Kristin Feireiss was honored for her engagement in the communication of architecture and the strengthening of bilateral relations with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.Since 2006 the Architekturforumis located at Aedes am Pfefferberg.
