Migration is no phenomenon of the present. There has always been migration to Graz, from Austria and from abroad. And the following applies: Without influx from outside, a city can hardly come into being.

The expansive drawing by studio ASYNCHROME interlinks different layers of aspects of the city, urban development, and arriving in the city. Visual elements from the urban environment, from the actual neighbourhood, are interwoven with textual elements which have been taken from conversations with residents and their personal reflections on the city, and/or from texts about urban phenomena. This results in a fabric of narrative images and texts which can be interpreted in different directions and thus reveals new contexts.

In which future we want to live? In the future architecture, the utopia is part of our present again. The possibility for architects to experience surroundings again through investigative research could lead into a future architectural practice.
