New architectural map of the Ruhr Area has appeared, GA network  partners Rhein-Ruhr and Berlin cooperate on the occasion of the European Capital of Culture 2010, our  architectural map of the Ruhr Area was published in January. It is  the fifth map in the series, continuing the previous success of maps
from Berlin, Munich, Cologne and Hamburg. All the maps are created by  members of the Guiding Architects Network.

This is the first map publication ever to cover the entire Ruhr area  and list buildings from all of its regions, which counts 53 cities  and towns. The set of four maps plus booklet contains 2300 projects  from the rich industrial history of the area, including civil structures, contemporary architecture, parks and gardens as well as  urban projects. Five of the best projects from eight historical  periods are presented with short texts and fotos.

The authors are architects Detlev Bruckhoff and Thomas M. Krüger,  supported by designer Marnie Schaefer. All three of them have profound knowledge of the area, as it’s where they grew up. The map is published and financed by the Marketing Company RVR (Regionalverband Ruhr).
