The transient population as permanent phenomena for the future of western Europe is the main aspect for this project. In such a site the theme Mitten drin! can find various typological interventions.

A dense area of different sizes of blocks with nearly complete built-over inner part of these blocks. The site will be an area southwest of the main station. This semester we have chosen the 7th Baumeister student competition - Mitten drin!. We would expect careful analysis work through the making of plans, photographs and sketches and we will be open-minded for surprising changes and improvements to the city of Munich. In all cases new buildings should be part of a vibrant urban situation, as part of a larger ensemble and not as a solipsistic manifestation. Sometimes working with elements of the existing, overworking them, using them and adding to them is more successful than the idea of the tabula rasa. Therefore demolition should always be carefully considered. It is important to recognise the cultural implications of such a strategy and the implications and relation to sustainability.

The act of replacing and adding, of creating new objects simply through demolition, is a strategy that requires specific consciousness and a responsibility towards the existing condition. Contrary to the competition text, which is rather general, we do not expect simplistic solutions from your work. The Studio is a place of experimentation where convention and preconceived methodologies are challenged, historical and everyday reference is widely used and preference is given to a way of designing spatially and without linearity of scale. Both Professors teach together, developing a studio environment of discussion and dialogue. 2 Introduction Mitten drin! 7th Baumeister student competition in Munich Introduction Studio Krucker Bates is concerned with exploring the condition of the European city and beyond.
