The Post-War City as Idea and Project
"In the studio series “The Post-War City as Idea and Project”, we will launch an urbanistic investigation into Munich’s extremely rich post-war building substance. We are fascinated not only by the urbanistic and aesthetic properties of the city’s Grey Architecture, which we think is a profound answer to how a modern everyday city could be built. Despite all shortcomings, we also view the post-war period as a possible blueprint for a resource-efficient way to build and live in a city.
Also, we think that the necessity to build a democratic city and society is as important today as it was after the second world war. To explore the possibilities of this substance, in each of the studios we will confront a specific property of the post-war city with an important current development – with the goal to gain new “Strategies for the Democratic City”." - Took from https://www.ar.tum.de/ud/archiv/projekt-ma/#c26613, project description.
