Final Review of the Bachelor's and Master's Project Studio Eggarten Ecologies at the Professorship of Green Technologies in Landscape Architecture.
About the project:
The ever-growing demand for housing in Munich means that developers are looking to urban niches, brownfield sites and green spaces for prime real estate. Competitive demand for housing often results in these spaces, which provide a refuge for urban wildlife, being sold to developers and transformed into dense neighbourhoods that promise an eco-social vision combining the convenience of modern living with biodiversity. The selling point of such development projects is that their design enables biodiversity to flourish. But what if the resulting development leaves behind only a fraction of the original biodiversity?
This winter semester, 2025–26, GTLA* is asking students to reconsider the outcome of such designs by prioritising the existing greenery in the forthcoming Eggarten-Siedlung development in Feldmoching, Munich, as a case study. The aim is to provide an alternative, radical ecological positive design solution to the winning entry in the 2020 competition by Studio Wessendorf and Atelier Loidl.
