course: Urban Design Exercise - 2nd year bachelor studies.
institution: institute of urban design, University of Innsbruck.
course instructor: Daniel Koehler.

Undoubtedly, a city is more than just its buildings. Cities gather our needs, our desires; what we do, what we are and want to be. But, like giant vessles, it are its buildings and the spaces in-between which contains the city as the places that touches us and on what we stand. With this exercise as an entry to the incomprehensible challenge to construct a city we want raise a simple question: What is the city in this particular building? Here, each student will examine one particular building known for its specific way of being urban. Via an in-depth analysis students will learn which architectural elements have an influence on urban design and how as an architect one can contribute to the design of public space.
