architek[tour] tirol – guide to architecture in tyrol

For the "2012 Days of Architecture” and commissioned by aut. architektur und tirol, the Tortenwerkstatt - a collective of architecture students - erected the stattSTUBE. For a whole summer long, people could meet here, sit together comfortably without the pressure of having to consume anything, chill in hammocks and thereby experience the specific qualities of a spot that had been neglected until then.

For the "2008 Days of Architecture”, aut. architektur und tirol commissioned a 52 m long multi-use walk-on platform in the Walther Park. The temporary building, designed by the columbosnext group, after the "Days of Architecture” remained, first until autumn, then with another permit for nearly two more years, inviting the general public to appropriate a piece of public space and use it for various purposes – and, not in the least, to stop turning their backs to the river instead of experiencing it as a vital part of the cityscape.
