THE HISTORICAL MUNICH CITY IN GERMANY

The author's trips to Germany were mostly of a study nature, and some of them were just trips to other European cities (Amsterdam, Nice and Oslo). The study trips (1999, 2007 and 2011) were related to a visit to the famous trade fair (the world's leading one of its kind) for architecture, materials and systems (BAU Munich), which takes place every two years in Munich. Visits to this fair were of great importance for the Author, since (at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries) he was intensively engaged in architectural design, and since 1989 at the Faculty of Architecture in Sarajevo he taught subjects that by their nature followed contemporary trends in architecture (Architectural physics, Structural systems in architecture, Detailed materialization of envelopes of architectural objects, New approach to conceptualization and materialization of architecturally defined space, Architecture as an energy system...). As the fair was held for four days (it was held in mid-January), the author used the opportunity to get to know the architecture of Munich on the spot, as well as its architectural cultural and historical heritage (Maximilianeum, Prinzregentenstraß, Ludwigstraße, Marienplatz, Alte Pinakothek, Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Neues Rathaus, Nationaltheater, Glyptotheka ...) as well as contemporary architecture. In particular detail, the Author visited the Olympic Park in Munich (Der Olympiapark in München), BMW Hochhaus and BMW Welt, Allianz Arena...
