The area south of the railroad station in Munich is characterized by the compact perimeter-block construction typical of the mid-19th century: small plots of land, narrow courtyards, and heavily trafficked, generally treeless streets. Featuring a number of hotels and buildings with relatively small office units and studios, the neighborhood is lively and bustling by day thanks to a variety of ground-floor retail stores and commercial uses. When night falls, however, the lack of residents in this neighborhood becomes obvious. The popular nickname “Orientalischer Viktualienmarkt” (Oriental Food Market) implies vibrant diversity but also reveals the dense and stony nature of this district.

WHAT
We open up the Museum, integrate it with the park and connect it to the surrounding neighborhood. Like urban acupuncture we improve the circulation in and around the Museum by creating new access points, opening arteries, animating many types of experiences and enhancing the ongoing regeneration of the Exarchia neighborhood. The Museum and the City become one. The extended and revitalized National Archaeological Museum will become an urban magnet and a place for ALL – museum visitors, tourists, scholars and the citizens of Athens at large.
