Oktoberfest booths and rides as temporary plaza design

Kurzentwurf B.Sc. & Stegreifentwurf M.A. Landschaftsarchitektur, Sommersemester 2020

Topic

The Munich Oktoberfest has been cancelled for 2020 due to the current COVID 19 pandemic. As a small compensation for carnies and the population, the Munich City Council has launched the project "Summer in the City". Oktoberfest booths and rides are to be set up in public places throughout the summer and the city. How do temporary leisure architectures shape our cityscape? Do they obstruct space or do they allow exciting partial spaces to emerge? Can a design unity be created from the permanent and the temporary? The installation of so-called "flying buildings", which usually follows technical criteria, is to be considered from the design-creative side in this short design. With the resulting designs, the chair would like to put Munich places, which have already been investigated in the research project "100Places:M", in a completely new light.

Task

For one of 100 squares in Munich, a design is to be created to fill the site with a ride or stalls from the Oktoberfest. The focus is not on the technical feasibility, but on the design and spatial formation as well as possible, newly emerging spatial and social interactions. Delivery: 2 DIN A3 landscape formats as PDF (print quality; sheet 1: perspective collage of a Munich square with Oktoberfest inventory; sheet 2: explanations and schematic floor plan, section if necessary). As a basis, you can use your own photos or photos from the Internet that have been explicitly released for use (indicate the author, title, year and license, if applicable). The list of spaces will be made available via Moodle. Plan bases have to be researched by the students themselves or based on aerial photos. In the latter case, the authors of the aerial photos as well as any additional data providers are to be named (e.g. Black Plan Zenettiplatz based on an aerial photo from Bayerische Vermessungsverwaltung 2020).
