Hacken:Platz

The one-week street space experiment took place in the course of the Architecture Week A7. The installation generated a place to stay and exhibition space on the area otherwise used as a parking lot through wall-like elements, seating and tree installations. An exhibition showed visions of the Chair of Landscape Architecture and Public Space (TUM) for car-free Old Town Munich.
