from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

baukunst-nrw is an internet guide to architecture and engineering in North Rhine-Westphalia . The North Rhine-Westphalia Chamber of Architects and the North Rhine-Westphalia Chamber of Engineers are the sponsors. The project was developed as part of the state initiative StadtBauKultur NRW and has been available online in German and English since October 2007. Since June 2013, the database can also be installed as an app under the name baukunst for Apple iOS and Android.

The database includes more than 1500 objects on architecture , interior design , landscape architecture , urban planning and engineering in North Rhine-Westphalia from all eras. The individual objects have been edited and provided with detailed information as well as photos and descriptions. Own routes can be created using a watch list and the integrated route planner.

It is possible to propose an object directly via a form on the website. The advisory board of baukunst-nrw decides on the admission.

For the baukunst-nrw project, the NRW Chamber of Architects and the NRW Chamber of Engineers received the Internet Prize of the German Prize for Monument Protection 2012, which is awarded by the German National Committee for Monument Protection .
