Lecture by Mühlbauer Office at the Amberg Air Museum

Thinking architecture, reading the city: Lecture by Mühlbauer Office at the Amberg Air Museum

An evening for building culture: In the spring series 2026 of ARCHITEKTURforumAMBERG, the Ingolstadt-based Mühlbauer office presents a lecture in the atmospheric setting of the Air Museum. The focus is on careful restorations, precise detail culture, and the aesthetic experience of spaces that connect past and present.

Material, light, time: Work examination with architectural-historical depth

From the perspective of curating city and building history, Mühlbauer Office showcases exemplary projects: from the Rosa Eckhaus in the Ingolstadt old town, awarded within the framework of the BDA Regional Prize for Upper Bavaria 2024, to newly conceived residential spaces in existing buildings. A stance becomes visible that preserves original substance, repairs materials instead of replacing them, and creates new spatial effects through finely tuned interventions. This examination sharpens the view for proportion, composition, and light guidance – a true art experience for architecture enthusiasts.

Architecture as cultural education: From detail to city

The speakers link design, monument preservation, and urban planning. Using sketches, details, and photographs, constructive principles are explained: how oak wood surfaces are treated gently, historical windows are supplemented, or steel profiles are inserted discreetly. This creates an exhibition atmosphere where craftsmanship, tectonics, and spatial dramaturgy become sensually tangible. The audience gains expertise in restoration strategies, material ethics, and sustainable building culture.

Place of air and ideas: The Air Museum as a resonance space

The Air Museum in the medieval Engelsburg offers the ideal stage: art, design, and installations related to the element of air meet architectural reflection. The historic building influences the spatial effect of the evening – staircases, vaults, and daylight modulate perception and sharpen the aesthetic experience of the lecture.
