Team set up the exhibition and prepared the gallery.

The exhibition Zwischenstand der Zwischenstadt focused on the urbanized, hybrid, and fragmented landscapes between town and city, country and transport hubs, and asked about the economic, social, ecological, cultural, and aesthetic conditions of these spaces. The focus of the question about the future of the city is not the metropolitan urban centers, but instead the periphery: car dealerships and gravel pits, riding stables and hardware stores, caravan areas, and corn fields. We looked at places where donkeys graze on noise barriers, single-family houses are surrounded by freeway slip roads, in short, landscapes where it remains radically unclear where the city begins and where the village ends.

For the exhibition, the students of the Master in Architecture prepared a series of project posters and a set of general maps displaying the area of interest, its buildings, parcels, forests in shrinkage in different years, and others.

The collective exhibition displayed cross-university research between chairs from the Technical University of Munich, the Bauhaus University in Weimar, the University of Luxembourg, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and the Technical University of Vienna.
