If you look a little more closely as you
walk through the streets of Munich, you
will notice the signs of the times. The
city is changing, adding to and filling in
spaces. Some changes are immediately
obvious while with others, you have to
look twice to notice them. For example,
these buildings, originally built in the
1950s, with 70 basic apartments and
connected by a row of shops, have been
transformed into a closed residential
complex.
In 2006, comprehensive modernisation
work began on the buildings: New
balconies, full thermal insulation and
lifts were just some of the activities
performed to raise the quality of the
existing buildings to modern standards.
Rather than simply demolish the buildings
and replace them with new ones,
the building owner and architect chose
to expose the shells, remove the old
gable roofs, strengthen the foundations,
and finally, to carefully concentrate the
ensemble and bring it back to life.
