This form of street intervention consists in wrapping public architecture like lampposts, parking meters, telephone poles, etc—with knitted or crocheted material. It has been known as"knit graffiti" or "yarn bombing".The mission is to make street art a little more warm and fuzzy.

Love Locks


Sweethearts lock a padlock on the railing of a bridge and throw away the key to the river as a symbol of their eternal love and commitment. Couples also have their names  engraved on the lock in a way to seal their love for each other. This ritual is said to be originated in Japan  and has now become increasingly popular in many European cities. Who said romantic gestures are something from the past?

Walking on water

Interactive visual display system used for advertisement at Kaufinger Tor.

Stepping on the floor projection of the swimming pool creates the effect of waves on the water. This advertisement system seems very effective at catching one's attention making people stop for a while,watch and play.

Shopping wonderland

Fünf Höfe Shopping Arcade

Sphere 2003

The Fünf Höfe opened in 2003 and is considered one of the most stylish Munich's shopping spots, located right in the city heart. The Fünf Höfe is literally an area of five connected courtyards. Every section has its own character. The inner walls are made of steel and glass whereas the façade walls mantain the original 19th century stone. In one area there are real giant ivy plants - over 10 meters long - hanging from the ceiling among the lamps. 
There also art works such as Sphere 2003 is a sculpture by artist Olafur Eliasson. The sculpture is a huge ball suspended above the center of the courtyard. It is made of a dense network of highly polished stainless steel strips, layered in a spiral. Its smooth surface reflects the day light making the ball changes color slightly according to the weather and time of day.
