The existing site is a parking lot for the tourist and the beergarden. People usually come to climb up to the hill which is connecting to the historical city center. The existing situation of this “urban void” as a special case in the typical historical city that could bring potentials for future development. Therefore, my urbanistic approach is not only to give the clear definition to this ‘urban void’, but also to inherit the openness for the new place.
First of all, by extending the existing wall of Augusti-nerbräu, this place is redefined as two different space clearly, one is for a parking, the other is for a private garden. A new parking is still keeping an openness, but covered by tress.
