Push Pulling

Impulse für eine neue Dorfmitte

Semester Project B.Sc. Landscape Architecture and Planning, Winter Semester 2018/19

Topic

Pulling is a municipal district of Freising with about 1500 inhabitants. The first documented mention is in 1024. Historically, the village goes back to individual farms. A concise growth spurt for the parish village did not occur until the end of the 19th century due to its transport connection to the city of Munich through the construction of the Pulling stop on the Munich-Regensburg railroad line.
Today Pulling is known nationwide for its popular bathing lakes which were created by gravel mining in the area. Due to the closure of important village infrastructures such as the grocery store, the post office and the local banks, the inhabitants have been dependent on neighboring communities since the 1990s. The center of Pulling is dominated by drive-through traffic and offers little space for public life.

Task

The semester project "Push Pulling" is looking for impulses for a new public village center. How does one manage to create space for business, culture, living, working and living in Pulling and take into account the village needs? How do spatial structures function and what does public life look like in small peripheral communities?
The groups of the design project look for potentials in the village center and develop concrete
design proposals for a new center of Pulling.
