In just 16 weeks 21 students of the /studio3, Department of Experimental Architecture at the University of Innsbruck, designed and built the Spielraeume as part of their bachelor project. Supervised by Verena Rauch and Walter Brenner the students worked on 20 preliminary designs from October to December until a jury selected Jakob Wiesflecker’s design in December 2016.
