The commitment of everybody to transform this House of Freight Logistics into a House of Idea Logistic, as Mr. Koller explained the general aims so poetically, were very clear. Nobody left any doubts about the great performance of the architecture students, their creative ideas of how to transform and adapt the Stadtlagerhaus, visions for a future which will be inhabitated by themselves and which has to be formed nowadays, an absolute duty of todays’ society, as Mrs. Maltz-Schwarzfischer explained in her vivid, colourful statement. Prof. Dr. Baier emphasized the importance of international connections between students of different cultures, a long-standing tradition of the OTH, to help open-minded people of all ages to solve problems and create visions for today and tomorrow on a multinational basis. Mrs. Kupfer underlined the importance of the commitment of all public institutions in order to continue the project of housing the culture and creative industries in many different types of locations, a project which has been started visibly with the opening of the Degginger in 2016.

Plans were made at every corner about how to go on, plans mightily inspired by the impression, the location of this exhibition, the Stadtlagerhaus has imprinted into every visitor.
