The guiding urban planning principle entails compressing development along the Innrain and maximizing urban space reserves consistently. The resulting green space serves as a valuable inner-city recreational area, promoting sustainability across social, ecological, environmental, and climatic aspects. Partial densification contributes to a defined urban edge along the street space and positions the university as a new high point within the overarching urban system, aligning with Innsbruck’s ongoing densification process. The building’s structure mediates between the small-scale perimeter block buildings of Rechengasse and the large-scale volumes of the hospital area, integrating with the existing university quarter’s grain.
