Maria Theresien Strasse in Innsbruck, Austria by AllesWirdGut Architektur ZT GmbHAugust 6th, 2011 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: AllesWirdGut Architektur ZT GmbH A redesigning of Maria-Theresien-Straße that does justice to the significance that the street has in the townscape of Innsbruck: the goal was to create an urban site with a rich atmosphere that invites strolling, hanging out, and meeting people. The identity of the site derives from the tension between urbanity and a panoramic view into nature, between past and future, between a specific character and a connective function in the urban structure of Innsbruck.

At night, the walking zones alongside the house façades are brightly lit, while low-set lighting in the middle of the square enables a view of the mountain silhouette and the stars above.
