7 photo: Andreas J Focke photo: Andreas J Focke Public Passage Alter Hof Alter Hof Munich Passages are often regarded as no more than a link between A and B and that is usually what they look like, too: anonymous and non-designed Small wonder that such urban spaces quickly deteriorate into places you would rather avoid Pfarré Lighting Design created the reverse - a passage so inviting that you would willingly go out of your way to walk through it This passage takes the form of a flight of steps that runs through the former imperial residence of Munich, the Alter Hof Thanks to the bronze sheets cladding walls and ceiling, the space has a distinctive, warm character The variously sized sheets are arranged in vertical bands with every so often a gap for recessed white fibre optics which present as subtle light slits The main lighting is integrated with the underside of the specially designed handrail in the middle of the stair With the aid of reflectors, the light shines down onto the granite treads from where it is bounced upwards to reflect off the bronze sheeting 2006 Main designer, Artist Auer+Weber Pfarré Lighting Design City of Munich Kirsten_Hannema photo: Stefan Mueller-Naumann The passage connects the Alter Hof with the Sparkassenstrasse 7

8 photo: Sascha Kletzsch photo: Sascha Kletzsch Micro Compact Homes Grasmeierstrasse Munich Small, easily transportable spaces for low-red-tape deployment have been realized by a generation of new architects They are unconventional cellular spaces designed to be mounted on or docked with existing houses, as suspended or standalone units They form a category distinct from campervans and caravans, which remain within the domain of automotive design The Micro Compact Home, however, does a wonderful job of straddling the dividing lines between the disciplines of town planning, architecture and car design The cuboid home with an overall length of 266 metres in not intended for modern nomads but primarily for use on temporarily available sites for the likes of students The cubes consist of a wood sandwich construction with an aluminium outer skin and an inner cladding of ployurethane foam and PVC They are gently staggered along a slightly raised pathway offering a degree of collective cohesion to counterbalance their individuality photo: Sascha Kletzsch Project is not public! 2005 Main designer, Structural engineer Associate architect Lydia Haack John Hoepfner Brengelmann Engineers Richard Horden Studentenwerk München Ursula_Baus U-Bahn station 'Studentenstadt' is nearby From the station, walk down Grasmeierstrasse The Micro Compact Homes will be located on the left 8

9 photo: Florian Holzherr photo: Florian Holzherr Residential and Office Building Nymphenburger Strasse Munich Münich architects Allmann Sattler Wappner have converted a listed factory building, mainly for their own use With the exception of the external walls, a few iron supports and an old stairwell, the insides of the existing building (dating from 1893) were completely removed The architects now occupy the first floor and the attic and, as one would expect for a factory conversion, the large office is completely open-plan The rooms on the attic storey were set well back from the original wall line, allowing space for a roof garden The second building on the site, an elongated six-storey block that extends between the street and the factory, now contains nine apartments The technical innovation in this building is to be found in the staggered, street-facing windows: to achieve soundproofing, the window units have several parts: behind the upright rectangular façade panel, there is a horizontally pivoting window that can be used to regulate ventilation without admitting traffic noise photo: Florian Holzherr Project is not public! 2005 Landscape designer Allmann Sattler Wappner Realgrün Undisclosed Christian_Welzbacher U-Bahn stations 'Mailingerstrasse' and 'Rotkreuzplatz' are both nearby 9

10 photo: Stefan Müller-Naumann photo: Stefan Müller-Naumann Münich-Riem Church Centre Platz der Menschenrechte Munich In this shared church centre for Catholic and Protestant believers, architect Florian Nagler defined the spatial presence of the church in terms of urban planning Free-standing Catholic and Protestant churches, each with its own spire, would have been farcical, so instead Nagler has housed the mix of spaces in an ensemble that presents itself outwardly in a snow-white shell: in situ-concrete walls faced with white painted brick surround the complex, giving it a sacred aura The two church spaces are identifiable from the outside by full-length concrete lamellae the Protestant church rather spartan, based on a square floor plan, the Catholic slightly more luxurious, with expressively designed windows and a trapezoid floor plan The meeting halls, nursery, administrative offices and clergy accommodation are arranged around two courtyards There is no sense of a dominant architectural figure here; on the contrary, the church centre fits in excellently with the surrounding buildings 2005 Florian Nagler Kirchenzentrum München-Riem Ursula_Baus photo: Stefan Müller-Naumann Located in the Munich-Riem area U-Bahn station 'Messestadt-West' is nearby 10

14 photo: Piotr Krajewski photo: Piotr Krajewski Academy of Fine Arts Akademiestraße Munich Based on the idea of transforming the 3 different urban spatial systems which come together on the site: the axial system of Leopoldstrasse / Akademiestrasse with its stately buildings; the structure of Schwabing, developed over time with its small-scale, differentiated buildings; and the garden areas of Leopoldpark and Akademiegarten with their historical trees The open configuration of buildings is locked together produced a sequence of transitory space between the park and urban space: the glass facade as a media membrane, the gate to the Academy, the inner court, the studio terraces as the connecting link and gate to the park Diagonal ramps and gangways connect the functional areas of the various parts of the building and thus the different departments In this way, and energized complex is created, which corresponds ideally to the diversity of creative activity photo: Piotr Krajewski Floor area/size m², Interior architect Coop Himmelb(l)au pkrajewski_pl Freistaat Bayern Mon-Fr: 7-21 Sat:

15 Student Housing at Munchen Enzianstrasse Garching This hall of residence is located near a university campus on the outskirts of Munich The project is found in the confines of the metropolitan area on a plot that is right next to lands used for agriculture The location of university grounds on the outskirts of cities was a common practice of Modern zoning which often took these areas to very inconvenient places This segregated student life from the rest of urban life Besides the mention of urban planning, the building presents an interesting solution to the elements of the façade and a varied typology, though lacking spaces for interaction or any common element for that matter photo: Michael Heinrich Project is not public!
