"How to transform spatial void into experiential space?"
This was the central question guiding our project.
The book “Mieders Orte” is now complete.
And so are their Bachelor’s studies.
The question continues to resonate.

Navigating a wide range of design-relevant parameters – social, political, functional, and technical – 14 students from Hashtag , the Lightweight Structures Unit at the University of Innsbruck set out to rethink a village square as a multifunctional public space.
Through precise and sensitive interventions, they engaged deeply with the site and translated their responses into spatial form – allowing the place itself to speak.
The book “Mieders Orte” is out now and available via .
It was a great pleasure to accompany this group on their journey, under the lead of Benedict Esche. Thanks to the students for their endurance and passion, and to Giacomo Nüsslein for the meaningful comments.
