O.M. Ungers, Trier, Urban Morphology, Transformation, TypologyAbstract
This paper investigates the background and basis for O. Mathias Ungers’ exploration of the morphology of the city and its implications on the architectural project, beginning with seminal but unrealized proposals that resulted from typological and morphological studies, followed by a discussion of theoretical and academic investigations in Germany and in the U.S., and finally by the analysis of three executed proposals in Trier as the synthesis to these explorations.
