English abstract:
Supporting small production cycles and bringing manufacturing back into the urban context is one of the necessary steps for cities to deal with ecological challenges. By the inwards growth and redensification of Villach`s old town, resources are used efficiently and a city of short distances is supported. The proposal Stadthöfe offers a functional mix of production, community labs, services, education, health care and (temporary) living offers complemented by an intermodal mobility hub serving future standards. By developing adapted versions of the small structures of Villach`s yards, Stadthöfe offers additional (hidden) gems and new routes within the urban pattern for residents, makers and visitors. The yards cater as outdoor areas for urban manufacturing and facilitate social exchange.
