Munich 19.21


Conceptual proposal for the growth of Munich, presented and awarded at the 2017 UIA-Conference in Seoul.


Munich 19.21 is a strategic design proposal dealing with the rapid growth of Munich, Germany's third largest city. It works with a graphic approach to address the various major issues that accompany growth: communicating and visualising ideas and creating a specific sense of place. It is a playful visual approach that works with existing urban patterns and structures.
It aims to address issues using established architectural methods: research, copy and adaptation to achieve a specific sense of place.
The main questions addressed are: How could we turn the momentum of massive growth into a positive movement, leaving behind new parts of the city with a specific sense of place?
How could we use the existing DNA of urban structures as a basis for the genesis of urban places? How could we use "objet trouvé" structures and modify them for new uses? How could we turn resistance to change into a vision?

Presented and awarded with an Outstanding Paper / Design Work Presentation Award at the UIA2017 Congress in Seoul, Korea.
