Architectural history, new technologies, free museum admission
TUM at the Kunstareal-Fest
TUM is at home among museums in the midst of Munich's art quarter. In July the quarter's institutions invite the public to enjoy a four-day festival. On July 15 and 16 Gabelsbergerstraße will be blocked off to traffic at the Alte Pinakothek and will be turned into a pedestrian promenade with plenty of interactive attractions. TUM will be there with the following program features:
Important TUM buildings
Since 1868 TUM has shaped the quarter with structures by important architects such as Friedrich von Thiersch and the works of artists like Rupprecht Geiger. The walking tour with TUM Architecture Museum's Dr. Irene Meissner includes the architectural history and artistic design of the university. Participants also learn background, like the outcry caused by the naked "Horse Tamer" ("Rossebändiger") in 1930, and discover hidden surprises, like a gangway from the old Riem airport.
July 15, 2023, 11 am - 12:30 pm
The event will be held in German.
Technologies of the future: A whole new world?
Visitors to the TUM Think Tank pavilion can experiment with new digital technologies and speak with the researchers behind these technologies: How can we deal responsibly with these applications? How are they changing us?
Founded in 2022, the TUM Think Tank unites science, civil society and the political sector to develop solution proposals and instruments for today's urgent problems. Visitors can take a look behind the scenes of this new idea factory.

Exhibition on the transformation of Arcisstraße
The exhibition STREETS>>BOULEVARDS shows student designs for the redesign of Arcisstraße in the context of traffic change and climate adaptation. In addition to the long-term redesign, the aim was to anticipate the design idea in temporary interventions. The street layout of Arcisstraße transferred to the exhibition hall illustrates the expansiveness of the mobility spaces of our urban spaces.
The exhibition opening will be accompanied by a discourse evening on Thursday, July 13, with the theme "Street-Space Experiments in Practice and Research".

Room installations at Old South Cemetery
The Chair of Design and Creation presents spatial installations on a scale of 1:1 at the Old South Cemetery. The master project "Realmontagen - Bauteile im Freien" examines basic architectural elements such as foundation, support, wall, opening, and roof for their design and material-specific possibilities. The area of the Old South Cemetery and the prevailing post-war architecture by Hans Döllgast are considered as a benchmark for an appropriate insertion of spatial installations and the conscious use of building materials.
