About the exhibition:
Architecture shapes our lives. It provides shelter, creates identity, and influences our perception. It is a stage for human interaction and a scale against which individuals can reflect on the self. It invisibly records everything that happens within its walls. It retains the good and the incomprehensible in equal measure.
The title of the exhibition recalls this discourse on the manifestations of architecture and the moral dimension inscribed in it. Based on a work by the Israeli artist Ariane Littman exploring the incomprehensible past of Haus am Lützowplatz, "Architecture & Morality" traces the history of the building at Lützowplatz 9, which was constructed in 1873 in the style of a neoclassical city villa and only became an exhibition venue in 1940 through the injustices perpetrated by the Nazis.

In 2024, the Haus am Lützowplatz (HaL) association will embark on the construction of a new building that will add an architectural contrast to the historic exhibition house and complete a city planning project that was conceived as part of the 1987 International Building Exhibition in Berlin. Based on a design by Berlin architect Edgar Döwe, a point block will be built behind the HaL garden, which will not only serve as housing for artists and provide new exhibition spaces, but will also remedy a long-neglected situation in urban space. The exhibition "Architecture and Morality", conceived for this occasion, presents the new building project while simultaneously looking back at the beginnings of the institution.
