Urban Remix
International Studio, 2019/20
Whether you have just arrived in Munich or have been living here for years, exploring the city and discovering its diverse urban environments is probably a familiar pastime for anyone interested in architecture and urban design. Large parts of Munich’s urban fabric are characterised by homogeneous city blocks, public parks, the historic city centre, and commercial areas. Yet there are also places where different typologies and functional programmes meet and sometimes clash. These areas of transition present particularly challenging opportunities for future urban design proposals.
The International Studio in the winter semester 2019/20 focused on a site in the Munich districts of Obergiesing and Ramersdorf-Perlach, where detached houses stand alongside apartment blocks. Large supermarket sites are located next to shopping centres, while new developments emerge beside underutilised areas. Based on the analysis of these contrasting urban conditions, the students developed visions and design proposals for sites located between these seemingly contradictory urban programmes.
