01: LunarHAB DESIGN OF A PERMANENT BASE ON THE MOON, IMPROMPTU, WS 20 The habitation modules of LunarHAB are vertically oriented structures, with small footprints and varying floor diameters. Their design and structure must be tuned to mission demands. The parametric design approach allows the human crew to have a direct influence on the shape through easily adjustable parameters, so while planning a new module, its design can be modified by a crew depending on usage.

1-2 Inflatable inner shell The inflatable module will be delivered from the earth within ready-to-use cylindrical elements that also form airlocks to the outside environment and interconnect the Lunar HAB modules. 3 3D printed outer shell The outer shell, constructed from the 3D printed regolith will protect the inner inflatable shell from micrometeoroids and space radiation. The dual-shell scheme isolates the habitable spaces from the structural stresses brought on by Moon’s extreme temperature. 4 Interior walls After the creation of pressurized and conditioned space under the protected 3D printed shell, a human crew can start to assembly interior walls and floors from pre-fabricated elements.
4 constructure process
01 Functional areas of Lunar HAB are spread over four levels and designed for a crew of 4 humans. The interior walls are creating a third shell and separate the level connection and storage space from the habitation area. The wall geometry, derived from the outer shell, creates a unique interior atmosphere that encourages mobility as well as crew health and averts monotony.

02: Rheinisch Habitat
DEVELOPMENT OF A SETTLEMENT IN COLOGNE REGION, WS 20/21 Rheinisch Habitat is a settlement in the Cologne hinterland, where the connection between housing and agriculture has been rethought. The design reduces land usage due to settlement expansion and keeps more land for different forms of local and sustainabale agricultural production. Sustainability, space saving and public meeting spaces become central design parameters, while the existing farmhouse turns into important meeting place for the neighbourhood.

DESIGN OF URBAN FARMING PAVILION, IMPROMPTU, SS 20 In recent decades it has become increasingly clear that the way we live and eat is a big threat to our health and the health of our ecosystem. Climate change is forcing us to change our way of living and to reconnect agriculture into our urban fabric. We have to rethink conventional agricultural typologies in order to produce food in our cities. This project envision the future in which we grow our own food much more locally and in a beautiful sustainable way.

04: Curved folding dome
A LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE MADE OF ALUCOBON, PARTICIPATION IN THE FIELD OF RESEARCH AT THE CHAIR OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, WS 20/21 During this project we have to develop a lightweight structure in an experimental way. In different workshops we learned something about the material, parametric tools and to programm the CNC-Milling Machine. Afterwards we built prototypes of curved folding dome in different scales from the material Alucobond.

05: Gear-factory INTERDISCIPLINARY FACTORY PLANNING , TEAMWORK WITH ARCHITECTS, CIVIL ENGINEERS, PRODUCTION AND ENERGY TECHNICIANS, WS 19/20 The design is based on modular components. These consist of a hexagon, a rectangle and an octagon. Each form has its own function. The octagons have the purpose of production, the hexagons can be adapted according to their usage, for example as office, lounge or storage space. The rectangles are used as connecting elements. An organic structure is established, by joining these three modules together, which can spread in any direction as needed.

06: Oceaneum
MUSEUM AND RESEARCH CENTER IN TRIESTE, ITALY, SS 19 The Oceanographic Institute in Trieste is dedicated to the research of the oceans and seas. The institute building with its facade of brick and slightly bent white textile complements the city’s waterfront. The ground floor is slided-in in order to allow free movement on the pier. The public spaces of the ground floor such as café, foyer and exhibition space connect the institute with the city and represent a dialogue with the public.

HIGH-DENSITY WOODEN HOUSING, NEUSTADT A.D. WEINSTRASSE, WS 18/19 The site is situated between the dense old town and the spacious modern town. The idea of the project is to reflect and connect both neighborhoods in a new residential complex. Connection is created by a seamless transition from the old town with townhouses to the spacious modern town due to the increasing height and the changing of residential building types. There are commercial areas from the side of old town, a green inner courtyard for the residents and visitors, private and public gardens, and a public zone with the existing pub.

In order to generate a lively leisure area, the tower should be extended with a café. The focus lies on the interac-
