Design Task

Elector Max II. Emmanuel had the Nymphenburg-Biedersteiner Canal built at the beginning of the 18th century as part of baroque urban planning. Waterways and streets were used equally as means of urban planning to provide Munich with an absolutist city layout. While road traffic axes became characteristic structures in the further development of the city, the baroque canal seemed to be neglected. Today, it is of central importance as a city-crossing, inner-city open space structure for people, animals and plants, but has almost been forgotten in the cityscape. As part of a study project at the Technical University of Munich, the question was therefore investigated as to how this important water axis and its various concerns could be brought into harmony with the city's surroundings.

The Master's students recorded the open space characters of the Nymphenburg-Biedersteiner Canal as well as numerous hidden qualities and jointly developed guidelines for possible development scenarios. In six drafts, a sensitive, critical examination of the existing urban, open space and ecological structures took place.
