Telling urban stories

The aim of this project was to discover "the stories" of different districts in Stuttgart. Students were supposed to adopt different perspectives and take photos, find a storyline and put together their observations and findings in "Urban stories". They were required to give a short general introduction to the district and at the end draw a conclusion.

Find here their urban stories and questions you can answer having watched the presentations.
