Topic: "Desperate Housing / Ideas for peri-urban areas"
Developing new ideas for five outlying districts of the city of Graz: Puntigam, Liebenau, Straßgang, Wetzelsdorf and Gösting.
These areas are located around the historic center of the city, all of them share similar issues – the lack of ubanity, centrality or spatial hierarchy. Each district has a fragmented landscape of urban and rural features and despite a steady increase in the number of settlers, none of these districts’ problems have ever been in the center of attention of solution seekers.

Architectural Summer 2018
The Future Architecture Summer School is part of the Architectural Summer 2018 and will be held at the Haus der Architektur. With the aim to make the program a public experience, the work situaton was designed to be open for public.
The taste of cold beer lies in the warm air of summer evenings, unobtrusively joined by a mixture of cigarette smoke, sweat and at times mild despair and the Südtirolerplatz remains illuminated by the glow from the House of Architecture until late at night. It's Summer School in Graz. – a review by Andreas Maierhofer

Der Geschmack von kaltem Bier liegt in der warmen Sommerabendluft, eine Mischung aus Zigarettenrauch, Schweiß und zeitweise leichter Verzweiflung gesellt sich unaufdringlich dazu und der Südtirolerplatz bleibt durch den Schein aus dem Haus der Architektur bis spät in die Nacht hinein hell erleuchtet. Es ist Summer School in Graz. – ein Nachbericht von Andreas Maierhofer
