1. Integration of new styles with traditional architecture: Germany is known for its historic architecture, which makes it a challenge for modern architects to create buildings that blend in and reflect the past, without losing their uniqueness and individuality.
2. Urbanization: Germany is rapidly urbanizing, and architects must design buildings that meet the needs of increasing population density while minimizing environmental impact.
3. Sustainability: With climate change becoming more of a concern, modern architects in Germany have to integrate sustainable design principles and techniques in their works, which includes buildings that are energy-efficient, use recycled materials, and improve indoor air quality.
4. Funding: Modern German architecture is increasingly being driven by the private sector rather than the government, which requires architects to be cost-conscious, creative and actively seek financing.
5. Demolition of historic buildings: New construction often means demolishing historic buildings, which can lead to challenging debates about preservation, development goals, and urban planning.
