Urban Remix

Wether you’ve just arrived in Munich or have been living here for years - touring the city to discover its diversity of settings is probably a typical hobby of anyone interested in architecture and urban design. Large patches of Munich’s city fabric are quite homogenous city-block structures, public parks, historic center, commercial areas, but sometimes you hit spots where typology and functional program seem to clash. The friction of these spots is especially challenging for future design proposals.

The International Studio in this winter term will focus on a plot in Munich Obergiesing and Ramersorf-Perlach, where detached houses stand side by side with apartment complexes. Vast supermarket areas are facing trading centers and new developments arise next to underutilized sites.   

We will be searching for possible visions and design answers for lots laying inbetween these patches of seemingly contradictory program.

Course and crits in English language.
