Studio 3: LALALACKNER LAND
This semester project explores how the architecture of Josef Lackner, specifically the Ursuline school, convent, and boarding complex in Innsbruck, can be reinterpreted as a contemporary, hybrid living and learning landscape for young people. The research focuses on Lackner’s spatial language: his strict geometric figures contrasted with surprisingly open, relaxed interiors, and the way the Ursuline school operates almost like a small city, with layered zones for education, sport, play and contemplation.

In addition to the many existing sports facilities, I wanted to introduce a space where pupils can practice mindfulness, combining the religious spirit of the site with a more contemporary approach to self-reflection and deceleration.
In my extension of the complex, I added a sauna, pools with different temperatures, meditation chambers, seating areas, and a botanical garden. This unconventional facility is intended to integrate mindfulness and rest into the students’ physical education and to be used by boarding students during off-hours.
