Landhausplatz

The goal of the intervention at Landhausplatz was to create a contemporary urban public space that negotiates the contradictory conditions and constraints of the existing site while establishing the stage for a new mélange of diverse urban activities. The realized project consists of a 9,000-square-metre concrete floor sculpture.

The square’s atmosphere and spatial appearance was dominated by the facing facade of the Tyrolean provincial governmental building constructed during the National Socialist period, and by a large-scale memorial that looks like a fascist monument but in fact commemorates the resistance against and liberation from National Socialism. The current intervention aims to expose existing misconceptions and reinforce the monument’s historical significance. We tried to formulate a square that enriches the users’ ability to interpret and appropriate its elements and functions. Landhausplatz today is both a vibrant urban square in the center of Innsbruck and simultaneously a memorial landscape that functions as a space for remembrance and commemoration.
