Matterhorn Glacier Center Constructing in alpine worlds
Information centre & hotel
Area 4.500 sq m total
Semester project summer 2009 | Institute for Design and Construction | Prof. Dipl.-Ing. José Luis Moro
Feature Constructive focus
In order to increase the attractiveness of the »Small Matterhorn« at the municipality Zermatt of the Canton Wallis, the Zermatt Bergbahnen AG is planning to build an information centre at the top of it. Thus, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the Alpine region around the Swiss landmark, the Matterhorn and to read up about the risks of climate change. The aim is a development of the summit area of the Small Matterhorn which integrates carefully and environmentally compatible in the mountain scenery. The extreme environmental influences in a height of about 4.000 m above sea level and the permanent frozen rock are putting high requirements on the supporting structure and construction.

Exterior visualization / The cable car station is extended in shape of the building and crowned by a transparent, crystalline object.
The construction works in these heights and under these circumstances should be as easy as possible for all participants. A functional management should be provided, since the Small Matterhorn is heavily frequented by visitors.

The public area stretches across the first three floors of the building and is oriented in the direction of the cable car and Zermatt (north). A restaurant, the information centre and further areas for free usage are located there as well. These floors are accessible by lift in the cores. The rear part of the building houses all nonpublic areas. The wellness and spa area of the hotel is located at the lower level, the hotel at level 2 and 3 at the west facade with a panoramic view over the Matterhorn. Separate lift cores and a staircase enable an easy access for hotel guests. Beside a mountaineers accommodation, a meteorological station with a research facility is situated at the top floor.

Bodemuseum Berlin expansion A new museum for the Old Masters
Art museum
Area 15.000 sq m total
Semester project winter 2009/10 | Institute of Public Building and Design | Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Arno Lederer
Feature Xella student competition
The Museum Island Berlin at the historic centre Berlin-Mitte has as one of the most visited and important museum complexes of the world (Old and New Museum, Old National Gallery, Bodemuseum, Pergamonmuseum, James-Simon-Gallery) a great touristic appeal. Due to broad reconstruction and new construction measures, the area is getting more and more attractive. Now another building, including a museum is needed because of the projected junction of the Old Masters collection of the Art Gallery at the Culture Forum and the exhibited sculpture collection of the Bodemuseum.

Exterior visualization / The Bodemuseum (left) receives the necessary stage for presentation and awareness through the created sequence of free spaces.
Parts of one of the biggest collections of paintings and sculptures should be housed inside the annex building of the Bodemuseum while new architectural main points between the poles of the Museum Island and the modern architecture around should be given.

The peripheral development of the area at the railway and the reactivation of the walled up vaults create a dialog between the new building and the existing parts. Furthermore, the Bodemuseum receives the necessary stage for presentation in the dense, urban space by creating a sequence of free space. The main entrance is situated at the large square while a smaller entrance in direction to the library of the HumboldtUniversity can be opened when required. In this way, the square in front can run into the building to create a huge public space for major events. All side and personal rooms of the museum are located at the new building made of exposed concrete in the north building the »backbone« of the museum.

In the cross section the annex building resembles a mirrored »Z« while it touches the railway by a glassy joint. Thus the foyer becomes an action space, the passing trams actors. The room for temporary exhibitions lies underground and is connected directly to the archaeological path of the Museum Island by a tunnel. The permanent exhibition cantilevers the foyer and can be accessed by two big perrons. Despite the affiliation to the Bodemuseum, the expansion is an independent part which marks due to its position and shape a new starting point for the tour around the whole Museum Island.

Area 17.000 sq m total
Semester project summer 2011 | Institute of Public Building and Design | Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Arno Lederer
Feature Conceptual focus
„This is a ridiculous city; even worse, a sleazy city, dirty and disorganized. But its location is stunning“, wrote Le Corbusier 1910 about the Serbian capital city Belgrade. Meanwhile Belgrade has reached the 1,6 million population mark and is the most populous city Serbias as well as a political and cultural metrapolis. Belgrade is located at the mouth of the Save and Donau at the south-eastern border of the Pannonian Plane and at the northern border of the Balkan peninsula. For this reason, Belgrade is called the »gateway to Balkan«.
←
Exterior visualization / The new opera rises above the bridge »Brankov Most« and is a link between the historic city and the new part of Belgrade.
Despite its cultural status, there is a lack of an independent opera. Already in 1971 a competition for an opera was won by the Danish architect Hans Dahl. But it has never been realized. The favoured location back then, at the Save, in between the historic and the new Belgrade, offers an exciting connection between the two contrary districts.

The historic city of Belgrade in the East is seperated from the new part in the West by the Donau tributary Save. The bridge Brankov Most connects both districts at its northernmost spot. The Ušće Park stretches alongside the western waterside promenade. Ivan Antic built the Museum of Contemporary Art in its northern part. As the new landmark of Belgrade, the opera rises above the bridge on four feet and marks the gateway to the historic city respectively the gateway to the new Belgrade from the opposite direction. In this way, the historic and new Belgrade are connected.

The opera is accessed by the driveway of the bridge or by the staircases which range from the waterside promenade to the entrance level. The visitors can reach the lower foyer through the lifts in the four feet whence the temporary art exhibitions can be visited or the upper foyer (skylounge) whence the auditorium can be accessed by two big perrons overlooking the historic or the new city of Belgrade. According to the urban scenery in question, contemporary opera is shown in the western auditorium, in direction to the new Belgrade, while classical pieces are played in the eastern auditorium.

Extract from the official jury report: „The clear, crystalline figure is a response to the special positioning at the lake. The relief-like, one- to six-storey volume appears modest from a distance, creates well proportioned spaces on all sides and enables views of the lake again and again by its echelons ... The ground level includes the publicly accessable areas and is generously dimensioned, the route guidance and the lounge areas are lightly arranged around the patios, art exhibitions are possible in many ways. ... The main entrance with its broad, well-lit canopy is centrally located and welcoming aligned to the Churerstrasse ...
←
Exterior visualization / The crystalline figure offers specifically insights, outlooks and reflections of light by its alternating facade.
Due to its rich, inner spatial context as well as its modest, but innovative appearance plus its transparency and response to the local initial situation, the project »Play of Light« meets the company philosophy and implements it convincingly.“

Visitors are entering the building by the main entrance underneath the huge, overhanging canopy. From there, the art museum of the Würth collection and the twostorey foyer in the north with a reception desk and a big lounge can be accessed. The foyer building connects the three building structures of the museum (south), the six-storey administration building (east) and the congess hall with catering and kitchen (west). The glassy patio provides the building with daylight and offers the possibility to host exhibitions in the foyer. The meeting and conference rooms are situated at the northern facade with a view to the Lake Constance. Employees or guests can take the lift to get from the parking garage which entrance is nearby the workshops at the east to each floor.

The 600 sq m large exhibition room at the first floor of the museum building houses parts of the Würth collection from April 2013. Thus visitors can experience the art exhibition independently from the opening hours of the Würth House. The saw-tooth roof whose construction consists of revetted triangular trusses offers a natural lighting. The construction is supported only by three walls of the museum building and ends as the canopy. The attention for the final plans of the plaster works in this area had to be focussed on the floor and ceiling connections of the elevated plasterboard walls. Only thus a consistent, neutral background for the exhibited artworks could be created. The supply air enters the room below the windows resp. at the connection point of the parallel wall to the saw-tooth roof. The exhaust air suction is located at the connection point of the wall to the terrazzo floor by a revolving louver. Flame detectors are installed invisibly in the walls between the saw-tooth roof. In this way, no devices or pipes are visible which can disrupt the room impression.

Highperformance Skin A stadium for the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar
Soccer stadium (55.000 seats)
Area 200.000 sq m total
Diploma project winter 2012/13 | Institute of Building Struct. and Struct. Design | Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan Knippers
Feature Parametric designed skin
On the 2nd of December 2010, the emirate Qatar won the competition for the holding of the FIFA World Cup 2022. In a minimum of time, nine new soccer stadiums should be built, three should be modernised and adapted to the needs of the World Cup. Public traffic requirements, rapid transit railways and multilane motorways should ensure the movement during the World Cup and help establish the capital city Doha to a working, modern traffic network. Due to extreme summery exterior temperatures of about 122° F, a lack of infrastructure and a missing accomodation for players and visitors, the ambitious intention is criticized by different soccer associations and technical planners worldwide.

Exterior visualization / The parametric designed skin solves the conflict between incidence of light and shading and grants outlooks at any time.
CO2 neutrality, a constant interior climate of about 80° F, the usage of alternative energy sources and a modularity should accomplish the high stadium standards and the strict climatic requirements and ensure the feasibility of the project.

Visualization urban planning / Location of the stadium in Doha along the articifial bay Al Corniche.
The purpose was to develop a huge, climatic macro space within the urban structure of Doha, considering that an upwardly open stadium will not work in such climate zones because of the extreme exterior temperatures of about 122° F. A spherical dome is chosen as the object shape which protects the whole interior as a smart skin and supporting system from environmental influences. Inside this skin, the stadium is formed freely so that - as a novelty in stadium designing - the peripheric areas (between the stadium bowl and the facade) can be activated for the visitors to create fascinating, open atria. Big spheric cuts in the floors are marking the three main entrances and are offering micro spaces for orientation and rest.

Cross section / Scaleless. The interior room should appear calm and homogenous, in order to not distract the spectators from the match. The hog of the stands converges the spheric surface.
Highperformance Skin
The appearance of the interior is determined by the bottom view of the tri-hexmesh. The membranes allay the incoming light, allowing insights and outlooks at anytime. Technical tools like loudspeaker and floodlights are located inside the triangles so that the clean impression is not bleared by additional superstructures. The skin is developed as a double-facade. The relatively cool exhaust air flows through this facade and reduces the temperature at the interstice.

Geometry generating / The algorithmic operations alongside were executed to generate a hexagon-tri-hex-mesh on the shell surface.
The requirements for the roof structure are long spans by a minimum of material input (performance), lank profiles for a nearly transparent, non-shading supporting structure (cast shadows affects TV broadcasts) and small field sizes (dimension of the roof cladding). For this reason, a double-layered gridshell was chosen. A similar structure was already used for the designs of Frei Otto, Buckminster Fuller and recently Grimshaw. These shells however were restricted by the design and manufacture so that the spheric dome had to be divided geodeticly. Nowadays these problems are avoidable through algorithmic processes. A nearly homogenous distribution of the cells on a randomly curved surface can be achieved thereby.

Construction detail / The primary framework consists of a plug-in system of circular tube profiles and milled junctions, clamping profiles and gaskets for the fibreglass-reinforced membranes upon.
The sun protection has to solve the conflict between a direct illumination of the natural turf before noon and a protection of the interior against an excessive influx of light (heat generation and glare) at afternoon. The lighting animation on the left shows that a direct illumination of the grass is possible till 3 p.m., when the light is redirected in this way that the whole interior space is automatically dimmed. At any time, the outlook is the same, there are no versatile parts at all which are susceptible to fails under these extreme climatic conditions. CAD actuators manipulate the dimension of the static sun protection elements with the result that the requested effect above can occur.
