Individual Work

All for one, One for all, as the title stating the core intention of the project, the main focus of the project is to create a sustainable community social housing with the respect to the ideology of new European bauhaus which is beautiful, sustainable and together. Keeping in mind the basic structure of the gennossenschaft and with the urban anlysis of the area, this project started with the incorporation of existing urban fabric and historical landmarks. The building blocks are arranged in a way sothat the new architecture can easily be blended with the existing or old ones and it remains same with the building height. Respecting the existing urban situation, the housing blocks are made stagerred to connect the existing landmarkswith the new buildings visually and also have the maximum vista towards the river elster which is one of the main force of the site. The Zakiwa and archive buildings kept as the highest point in terms of oor height sothat the historical essence remain as prior element. The staggering buildings also creates a visual perforation from the other side of the river towards zakiwa area

SITE LOCATION & CONTEXT

Thematically, the New Bauhaus Project is anchored in the city of Zeitz, South Saxony-Anhalt. The closure of surrounding lignite industry will bring about a structural change that will mean radical changes for people and will have a signicant impact on social contexts and the image of cities and landscapes. In Zeitz this has been visible in large wastelands since the reunication and the disappearance of the key industries, which were a long tradition of the city's economic strength. The consequence and trigger is a shrinking process that is currently unfavorably shaping the social pyramid.
