Small Room / Big Window

The city of Munich currently faces great demographic pressure, as it is expected to add 200.000 new dwellings over the next decade while facing a sharp shortage of available land. With that problem in mind, this project proposes to re-densify the suburban neighborhoods of the city of Munich built between the 1960s and 70s, taking advantage of the sparseness with which they were originally laid out. The project focuses on the areas of Neuperlach and Taufkirchen, and proposes to understand them as an unfinished landscape, the product of unresolved tensions between different planning approaches at the time of their realization. It then proposes to re-interpret the existing fabric and to transform it into a more urban and complete whole by replicating existing typologies in order to create denser compositions and to reinforce the perimeter of each city block.
