Pilot project for social and spatial processes in the heart of Munich

Design studio at the Leopold-Franzens-University Innsbruck, Faculty of Architecture, Institute Koge - Construction and Design, winter semester 2016/17.

Exhibition and panel discussion "Public versus Private" at the Lothringer13 Kunsthalle in Munich March 2017.

At Sattlerplatz in Munich, an inner-city site largely owned by the city, an urban strategy was to be developed that provoked social and urban innovation. It was about the development of a prototypical inner-city intervention, which a priori should not be consumption-oriented, not even consensus-oriented, but should show new instruments for dealing with (historic) inner cities based on a subjective, intuitive, and poetic way of working. It was about spatial strategies that change the attitude and approach of project participants, residents and visitors and provoke a new social fabric. It was about urban utopias beyond the categories of money and commerce, showing new qualities of life and goals for a peaceful, diverse, and multicultural coexistence in the hearts of our big cities.

Project by Bayer Patrick and Schlapak Christoph

The project "Transitory City" required a process-oriented way of thinking, which includes the factor time as an essential parameter, both in terms of own working time and resources, and in terms of a project genesis in the urban fabric. The design was not conceived as a rigid structure, but as an aggregate state of a dynamic process. In experimental test arrangements, temporal processes were simulated, represented, and linked to spatial ideas.
