The task was about finding architecturally specific answers to a cho-
sen location within a catastrophe. Our location is around the East
Coast of America in Raleigh, North Carolina. This area is often pla-
gued by floods. As a matter of research, it came out that the floods
only occur as a result of hurricanes (torrential rain - the nearby river
could overflow). As climate change progresses, extreme weather
events are becoming more severe, there are more and stronger hur-
ricanes, and consequently more rainfall. The first question arose and
was fundamentally analyzed - what effect does a hurricane have on
a building (figure 01.00)? What preventative or subsequent construc-
tive measures can be taken (figure 01.02)?
A research was carried out into how urban planning can counteract
strong wind development and how the position of certain buildings
affects and what exactly planting has to do with it (figure 01.02).
The cultural heritage of the place has shown that there is an outstan-
ding building-type called „shotgun house“ (figure 01.12) - it has been
identified as an essential stylistic element of the place. The elong-
ated building structure was analyzed - what is particularly striking
is the clear linear arrangement, a consequent sequence of zoning.
The front porch is the main communication zone to the outside. As
a semi-public area, it has been identified as an important zone for
social interaction, people sit there, having the possibility to exchange
with their neighbors. The proportions and clear grid of the shotgun
house were adopted and rethought in the spirit of disaster relief. An
important architectural element of the new proposal are the rounded
corners (aerodynamic aspect) and the porches as the main com-
municator to the outside. Further small porches were added to the
long side of the building - a more private meeting area used as an
intermediate green space, terrace, or garden - together - rethought.
In the event of winds, the cavities created by the side porches are
closed with wind shutters.
The strategies for developing the concept were defined (figure
01.13). The choice of this neighborhood is due to a low-income area,
low in terrain. The site was thought trough in four construction stages
(page 18-21).
Ultimately, five urban structures had been defined on the affected
property. First there is the existing shotgun house, where preven-
tive measures are intended to preserve the structure from collap-
sing. Second the small accommodation/shelter, which will be built
before and after the disaster. Third is the existing nature (trees), it
will be supplemented with a further planting concept. Fourth a lar-
ger accommodation/shelter will be provided before and after and
the community emergency shelter, should be constructed before the
disaster. All new structures to be built are largely prefabricated, all
following in the same grid and made of ecological materials.
Two community centers will be added on site – it will contain a kin-
dergarten, library, senior day center and a playground. In case of
emergency the community centers provide a safe space for all peo-
ple living on site and surrounding neighborhood. The urban develop-
ment will gradually be densified - with buildings that take up the ar-
chitectural history of the place and reinterpret it, as well as withstand
the forces of hurricanes (page13).
In case of the community centers, the floor plans include clear zo-
ning as well - the grid, as well as the preventive architectonical ele-
ments from the new interpreted shot gun house are repeated. The
community center is designed as a two-story structure. An open grid
construction allows for a variety of divisions in the interior - a large
open wooden skeleton room. The Roof structure is formed by many
individual gable roof formations, they should be different compared
to the rest architectonical structures on site, but still inclusive. Sun-
light can enter through the shed construction - the courtyard and the
stairs form the internal communication center. On the upper floor,
a possibility for an emergency situation is shown, mobile sleeping
bunk surrounded by transformative curtain systems. The railings for
the textiles that ensure privacy are already attached in advance -
rooms are hung depending on use (page 25).

ATELIER HOUSE
an interaction between working and living

duration 5 days

In addition to a few preliminary exercises to get a feeling for the topic,
the main task was about the relationship between working + living as
the basis of human life. We were assigned a specific type of residen-
ce, which we analyzed in the first instance. The type of house to be
worked on had living above and working below, there is a horizontal
division and a solid wall on the right side (figure 02.00).
What types of horizontal division can there be and how does it ch-
ange the relationship between living and working? Which influence
does the solid wall have, and what urban pattern could result from it
(figure 02.01).
It turned out to be interesting to have a connection between the two
areas, working and living, formulated as a gallery in the inside (figure
02.02). The house is seen as a unit - it is only differentiated into zo-
ning - public - semi-public - semi-private - private. Semi-public living,
semi-private living and living privately is ensured. The same principle
applies to work – sometimes there is a need to work more in the pu-
blic, sometimes exactly the opposite – both should be possible. Our
needs in a workplace can vary and do not always have to be location
specific, opportunities should be given.
Thought from the inside out – there was the question what happens
along the two sides of the house in the outside – they can be pri-
vatized, they can be public, possibilities are captured in sketches
(figure 02.04).
Furthermore, the idea of the solid wall was examined - how thick can
it be, and what happens if it creates a space for itself? The idea of
the double-shell wall was interesting and was pursued further. The
double-shell wall opens outwards in the public area and inwards in
the private space (02.07).
The building structure was analyzed in its entirety – what is the urban
form? This was analyzed in some thoughts as a drawing and a con-
cave spatial situation was chosen as a type (02.12). Concave spa-
ces usually form circulation traffic spaces - in this case it becomes a
public space for exchange. The square itself is public and there are
specific passages through the residential buildings to reach a park,
used by the inhabitants of the proposed structures, as well common-
ly for the public - a green lounge not only for tenants, but for all resi-
all residents of the town. As a type of housing, maisonette apartments
that are proposed minimal in size and have flexible furniture offer
many options. It is a 4-story building with a gable roof, which creates
a playful appearance towards the square.
The wall was now designed as a connecting element - the vertical
development is located in it - this ensures connections to upper
apartments and at the same time a view of the concave plaza. Thus,
the connecting element of the wall not only connects the individual
buildings formed as a curved line with each other, but also the visual
connection of the public space with the semi-public corridor and the
interior of the maisonette apartments.
The maisonettes are connected to each other with an extra stairca-
se, which is part of the hollow wall as well. The constructive grid is
100x100cm. The entrance area and cloakroom are located on the
ground floor, the furniture of the wardrobe + kitchen is transformab-
le and thus allows for multiple usage options in the interior. An ex-
pandable kitchen island offers an additional workstation. The space
below the stairs is intended as a sofa bed or as a minimal guest room
- every space in the apartment should be used sensibly (page 42-
43). The upper floor serves as a sleeping/lounge room; it is open as
a gallery and is therefore spatially connected to the lower floor. The
parapet is multifunctional and can be folded in two directions. So, it
is either a table top for sitting to work on a tatami floor or you fold the
parapet completely to the ground by 90 degrees and the gallery is
closed in this area and you can use this area as a guest bed. The sto-
rage space is located along the stairs, the tatami floor forms a lounge
and sleeping area at the same time, and an open shower with curtain
forms the washing area. The toilet is the only closed room, everything
else can be perceived as a unit.

The task was to transform certain old office towers in Madrid. In the
future there will be an increased number of empty office buildings - a
concept need to be developed. A meaningful content with the future
vacancies should be found - it relates to the topic „living and produ-
cing“. Office buildings as places of coexistence, of collective living
and production. What followed was an ironic concept which, on the
one hand, can be seen as social criticism and on the other hand, it
sadly represents a model that can really be used as such. Over time,
soil sealing, and the decline and exploitation of nature is increasing.
Urban disaster areas are emerging - fake is the new reality, we are
gradually losing touch with nature. In the future, small-, medium- and
large-sized cities will grow to megacities, a trip into nature will take
longer and longer over time. Economically seen, nature becomes a
luxury good. Nature as property – the idea of the Austrian garden
house finds its way into the project (figure 03.06). This model descri-
bes living in an urban area and rent a garden house for temporary
residence. Usually, people spend a few hours there on the weekend
- a refuge in nature - BBQ, planting vegetables, watering flowers or
sunbathing. It is a house with a fence, a certain size of property, ever-
ything is temporary, everything is rented, nothing is owned.
An idea arose: what about a vertical garden house landscape? Mo-
ments of the Pueblos Blancos are integrated. The tower has an atmo-
spheric inner courtyard, the path winds its way up. There are different
situations in terms of perception, content, and size. Double heights
are introduced (03.13) – so the tower transforms step by step into
posh club for the upper class. Whoever can afford it - nature is mar-
keted and promoted as a luxury good and status-symbol.
It becomes possible to experience real nature - southern European
flora and fauna. A special membership offer regulates access and
creates opportunities for those who can afford it (figure 03.12).
There is a platinum-, gold-, silver- and basic- membership. Starting
from an own access to a green property with the possibility of cam-
ping on real grass up to a property with your own garden house with
an original fence, the membership price varies depending on the
size of the property or house. There are additional add-ons that can
be booked in addition to the living experience program. In the basic
program you can book a real barbecue experience, where you can
grill either in your own area or in a shared area, depending on how
much money you put down. This experience takes place on an enti-
re floor, the so-called BBQ floor. In the silver-member ship you can
book a special spiritual experience, with natural goods. In the gold
membership it is possible to book an animal experience package.
See real animals, pet them and if you have a lot of money - ride them
up the inner courtyard. See the flora and fauna from back then! The
maximum add on – which is only intended for the ultra-rich – is a 24h
or 48h overnight experience. Dirty ambient air is pumped out of the
tower - fresh breathing is possible in it - seeing flowers, plants and
smelling. As a tourist object, the tower is a production by itself.

The task refers to an innovative design, which is based on three
words, drawn from a lottery pot. Together with a chosen climatic con-
dition, which you choose, a specific place gets picked and it about
to start developing a concept.
What is a possible innovation? How does the design deal with en-
vironmental issues?
How does the house deal with temperature fluctuations, in summer
and in winter?
The selected words are: stairs, storing and washing. The chosen cli-
mate: high humidity and rainfall throughout the year, thermal oscilla-
tions throughout the year. More rain in summer than in winter. It is a
flat topography with rivers and wetlands.
The selected area is in Santa Fe, Argentina. A place in regular to-
pography, that often has to do with flooding, climatic conditions as
mentioned above.
References in architecture and art regarding to steps and spiral-like
constructs are researched (page 72-73).
The cultural connection to the place is essential: the indigenous pat-
tern, which appears in many objects and textiles in that area, serves
as inspiration. A connection to history, to the place should be embed-
ded in the design. A step-shape pattern is formed in the floor plan as
well as in section, pursuing the indigenous culture. The lowest point
of the pattern should be at the lowest point of the building, excess
water from the city is collected, a retention basin. In section the
step-like construction makes a movement upwards, which belongs
to the topic of - STAIRS. Structural load-bearing external walls lead to
a flexible interior - the furniture creates space and allows for some va-
riations. What can you do with two movable wall elements? Different
spatial situations are shown - STORING. One tool that we were able
to get to know in this workshop is explaining a project by using a mi-
niature. It is an image that tells stories by showing scenes. The minia-
ture of this proposal shows the sunny and dry, as well as the intense
rainy season, and how the atmosphere around the building changes.
Wood, as a renewable raw material, is chosen as a construction ma-
terial - what we take from it we plant again, an important message for
a place that has long paid no attention to this topic. Clean water from
terrace is stored for - WASHING. While it is not raining, the rainwater
retarders of the building are used as common and public spaces of
the city. Each building is responsible for retaining its fluvial surpluses
to avoid saturation of the cities fluvial network.
High humidity and rainfall throughout the year.
Thermal oscillations throughout the year. More
rain in summer than in winter. It is a perfect place
for flat topography with rivers and wetlands.

[re] building community
solutions for good conditions of life

The task is about rethinking the old SSB site in Zurich with an in-
novative architectonical proposal. A change of use about the topic
communal and qualitative living should be found for the old structure.
The existing building should be expanded in s specific way - how
this should happen will be drawn from a lottery pot. In general, the
options were that the building is expanded either above, next to it
or inside. The method drawn is “next to it”. Pre-written documents
to continue working are received beforehand. At the beginning, the
existing cross-section was broken down into its individual parts and
summarized as a first idea: vertically and horizontally – a division into
public common and private units.
Certain qualities were selected from various given options: free spa-
ce and extra space + capacity of appropriation + and private out-
door space. Images are used to show which spatial situations and
atmospheres should be created (page 90-93). The public entrance
area with hall character with materials such as steel, stone floors and
plants is lively - coffee shops, food stations, public spaces, as well as
the access area of the residential towers is located there. The towers
are added to the original old structure, with an inner courtyard that
opens at the top with glass and shows the way up through a light
source on the ground floor. The vertical goes into the semi-public
area for everyone and the semi-private area for the community living
there. The semi-private area is defined as intermediate areas that
can be found along the inner courtyard, such as a library, children‘s
playgrounds, chill out areas or just meet and greet opportunities.
Centrally located in the inner courtyard there is a multi-purpose hall,
which can be rented by the residents as well as by interested parties
outside; well positioned elevators are available for this purpose to
enable smooth access and avoid vacancies. The money raised can
be used for the community.
If you go further up the residential tower, you reach the attic for the
residents - a place for a BBQ, relaxing, urban gardening. The cour-
tyard should be perceived as an experience - a “dynamic core” (fi-
gure 05.14). The situations of living and living together are based on
the narrative of camping. Camping - vacationing within a community,
in connection with nature. Driving to a camping site, arriving from a
public to a semi-public space, getting a green plot, and build your
temporary private space there. This is surrounded by green space,
community and lots of public facilities and space for everyone.
Within that narrative it was about creating community live around a
dynamic core. All main activities + semi-private happenings are pla-
ced around it.
A given a cubature as a template was given beforehand and it was
allowed to intervene in it - when viewed from a cross-section, it was
noticeable that the predominant proportion of the inner courtyard
does not allow a lively life within this core. As a result of the following
measures and various proportion studies, it was decided to separate
the living areas slightly from each other in order to create more space
(05.14). A grading of rooms was defined in a concept sketch, which
was continued until the end of the project (05.00).
The existing supporting structure of the entire hall is partially protec-
ted and remains intact - the residential tower adapts to this grid and
is constructed with a skeleton construction in the vertical. The interi-
or therefore remains spatially flexible - for future conversions. There
are five apartment types that vary in size (page 108-115), which can
be used flexibly thanks to their furniture - it creates space and is
not load-bearing.The satellite rooms make a special contribution to
the community - they are arranged between the different types of
apartments and offer flexible use of the residents, as well as for those
coming from outside. They can either be rented for guests to people
and families who live within the community. Also, they can be rented
for short-term visitors from the city; vacancies should be avoided. As
in camping, there is a strong bond that can tolerate fluctuation.
Green spaces are passing through different levels, opportunities to
break out of the structure of the inner courtyard. In these intermediate
areas you get a view of the city, a relationship to the „outside“. These
areas can be relaxing places to stay, places where you can walk
barefoot and feel the earth, the wind, or find a flower meadow.

project location Barcelona, Spain

This projects task is to formulate a prototype of living that should go
hand in hand with the climatic conditions of a specific place. A strong
reference to local materials, transport routes and a possible dismant-
ling of the building should be included. The location is in Barcelona,
the place got researched in a wide variety of thematic areas. Socially
and culturally, it was interesting to know what the people habits are,
also the climatic conditions were significantly important. What all this
information has to with the clothing style of the residents? Sun, wind,
humidity, and the comfort level are determined over the course of
the seasons and are woven into an architectural concept. What do
everyday pictures of the people living there look like – in the present
and in the past. What is the behavior - how do people dress? Inha-
bitants of Barcelona already knew how to dress in layers - the onion
principle was already used, as it’s shown on several pictures from the
past (page 134-135).
In winter layering in clothing offers protection from the cold, body
heat doesn’t get lost.
In summer it protects against the sun‘s rays and, with the right fabric
and distance from the skin, ensures cooling ventilation - a loose clo-
thing generates wind currents that have a cooling effect on the body.
Chosen architectural references are reduced and textile based. Can
we create a building using only textiles? Historical research revealed
that Barcelona has a strong connection to textiles. There were textile
colonies along the Llobgregat river around 1868. Small microcosms
along the river in close proximity to the city center contained small
villages for the people who worked there. Own schools, churches,
sports facilities for the working-community and their families. Textiles
were processed and then brought to Barcelona center - the expan-
sion of the railway helped bring the goods to the city center more
quickly.
An attempt is being made to scientifically test the previously menti-
oned onion principle - a building with only textiles - does that actually
work? A case study of window construction is used as a derivation
and compared with the characteristics of various materials. It came
out that the distance between the layers and the medium of air are
playing an important role.
The result is a building structure that consists of two horizontal woo-
den discs and vertical load-bearing wooden supports. It contains a
non-load-bearing glass body, the “winter room”, which can be en-
larged or reduced as desired. It is positioned towards the south and
west and has massive ground cover which serves as thermal inertia.
The sun‘s rays warm the winter room and make it comfortable to live
in even on colder days. Curtain panels are defined along the ceiling
for a summer and winter scenario (page 146-147). Different types of
textiles are defined for the seasons and are supposed to fulfill diffe-
rent tasks (06.32).
A physical model was built, and perspectives were shown to illustrate
the atmosphere of the summer and winter models and to check ligh-
ting conditions (page 154-155).
All individual parts of the building are identified, from the standpoint
of locality, recyclability, and decomposability. The proposed struc-
ture is a lightweight construction, as it is proposed mainly of wood
and textile.
The building is designed from locally available materials - the textiles
are recycled from depots in Spain. The last step of the task was to
transform the prototype into an expansion.
The prototype is distributed horizontally as a disk in both directions.
Privacy, light, and air supply were regulated by means of additional
light and air ducts that go from the roof cladding into the interior
spaces. When it comes to patios, privacy has proven to be a sticking
point - the area in front with a solid wall is intended to ensure private
moments.
Its characterized by a low-impact winters and a very hot dry summer.
Its located between 30° and 45° latitude north from the Ecuator. Its
highly influenced by the mediterranean sea, yet being drier than humid
subtropical ones.
Mediterranean
By being located in the Iberian peninsula, the climate in Spain displays a
wide range of climates, being the most diverse country in Europe in
terms of different climates. This range is caused by the influence of
open atlantic ocean and north Africa, plus the influence of the medite-
rranean sea that affects the south-east coast.
Iberian
Peninsula
This region belongs almost exclusively to the mediterranean area,
specially at the coast. Inland areas can be affected by colder air wind
currents coming from the mountains at the north part of the region.
Catalunya
In Barcelona the average temperatures oscilates from 5°C to 28°C, with a
short warm summer that can be very humid, , and a longer cold winter. The
temperature rarely gets lower than 1°C and higger than 31°C.

The task includes an assignment of an architecturally sophisticated
building, which is to be analyzed in terms of content and constructi-
on, afterwards relocated, and reinterpreted.
In this case it is a project in Central Europe, Zurich in Switzerland,
built by Duplex Architects. This should ultimately be transferred into
a tropical zone Cali, Colombia.
The existing concept turns out to be an important factor for further
planning. The building is part of a masterplan, where specific rules
were defined (07.00). These were studied and partially adopted for
the reinterpretation. In terms of content, for example, the creation of
busy roof terraces was prohibited in order to guarantee a more lively
atmosphere in the ground floor zone. The buildings on the proper-
ty repeatedly form courtyard situations - the aim was for communal
living inside and outside. The ground floor zone only contains public
uses, the entire area should be usable and tangible for everyone.
This is followed by an analysis of the basic construction and the grid,
a solid building - reinforced concrete as horizontal disks, bricks as
vertical elements. The irregular grid, as well as the degree of privacy
and the number of different types of apartments were determined.
The new location should be tropical, with increased humidity. So, we
move from Zurich to Cali in Colombia - a place that meets the requi-
red climatic conditions and has the same population/m2
ratio as the
city of Zurich (figure 07.19).
Some urban development maps of the city Cali show a social dis-
tribution. Social conditions and areas that will be further developed
in the future in terms of urban infrastructure (parks, pedestrian and
cycle paths) in certain areas are shown, and helped by defining the
chosen building site.
Cali is one of the biggest cities in Colombia, and it has a strong ethnic
& socioeconomic segregation. One goal of the project was to integ-
rate the Afro Colombian community, which is currently segregated.
Based on the structure of the floor plans and their content, it is clear
that a great value was placed on common areas and public common
areas.
The urban pattern, the cityscape and its materiality were examined
in more detail. The first impression shows predominantly a massive
construction, lots of bricks and concrete. Even older buildings are
supplemented with this material. The project proposal on the pro-
perty includes a total of three blocks. The informal settlement that
existed there will be removed, the people living there will be reloca-
ted to the new housing units, and materials from the demolition will
be reused. Where there is now space for around 204 people, in the
future there will be room for 255 people to live, with a spacious public
space for everyone - a place for social interaction, so the original
idea of a lively ground floor area from Zurich in Cali is to be expanded
and carried forward.
Constructively, the grid has been simplified in order to be a prefab-
ricated structure mostly. For this purpose, the static grid was simpli-
fied with the aim of not losing the original spatial quality and diversity.
The structure of the satellite apartment was retained - however, for
the smallest apartment with a kitchen, the kitchen was completely
relocated to the common outdoor area.
The chosen construction consists of a mixture of mainly prefabrica-
ted parts, recycled parts for the walls and in-situ concrete for the
foundations, the pillars will be prefabricated and extend over 2-3
floors each. A concept was developed in which the settlement, which
is to be demolished and consists largely of brick buildings, is dis-
mantled into individual parts, and cut into panels, which are statically
reinforced with an external steel strip and a special anchor system for
transportation. An irregular, lively facade image should be created.
Care was taken to ensure that all prefabricated elements could be
brought to the construction site using the smallest transport route.
Due to the high humidity, the building was raised on average per
floor and attention was paid to providing sufficient cross ventilation to
remove moisture from the living space.

W SITE - CALI
- The urban development of the city of Cali is considered
to have been “accelerated”, but without control, thereby
implying rapid and disorderly growth. The boom of recent
years has been marked by the construction of shopping
centers, opening the way for modern structures, which
today have led to new styles.
The most important and significant works in recent years,
are associated with the growth of road infrastructure,
where modernization opens the way with the inauguration
of the Mass Transportation System, the construction of
pedestrian bridges and steps elevated. In this sense, the
urban development works were focused on the urban sector,
mainly in terms of roads and the commercial sector; leaving
aside the population growth and with it the housing deficit.
