Semiotic Alpine Escape; Diploma project
My Diploma is a semiological project applied on the program of a hotel as such reflects very significant difference in terms of comfort demand within the same class.
The subclassification into three classes, namely economy, business and superior is a consequence of the social establishment and wealth distri-
. A hotel can be considered being a reflection of society, where a slice of such can be addressed to a particular luxury class, in the hotel sector expressed with a star- rating system. Contrast within society in terms of wealth distribution becomes better visible in the upper class, namely the last 5%, which addressed to the hotel sector means six to seven stars. The project is a critical reflection of the question about through which parameters luxury or comfort can be achieved and then gradually been differentiated according to class. Such parameters affect primarily the privacy degree of the space, but bution
other physical parameters such as materiality as well as topographical and environmental conditions are taken into account.
Furthermore psycological effects such as height, orientation towards most privileged views are key for the arrangement of the three classes. The wide amount of program composed of retail shopping, the restaurants, theater and the services, will erect at 2000m height in the Dolomites having a ropeway station as primer access point. The climatic condition allows two seasonal settings: Summer and Winter sport activities. The topography is main driver for both orientation and program distribution using both horizontal- and verticality as possibility for the luxury resort.

Presidential Library; SCI-Arc
The Library reflects both the presidents background as well as the presidency; a president that on one hand introduced patient protection and affordable medical care, and on the other hand is delivering weapons to syria. A rather controversial presidency, which in this project is formally expressed as following: when orthogonality meets the curve. Location-wise, the area is the incarnation of the subjects background. Affected by low average income, high criminality and high infant mortalitiy, chicago‘s 5th ave & kostner‘s 105 000m² big area and surrounded by empty buildings as well as empty lots, shows potential for urban expansion.

„The Presidential Library“
The orthogonal blocks are an extension of the surrounding solids which affected by different scales, juxtaposition and agglomeration generate program such as cafe‘s, restaurants, stores and services surrounding the presidential library. The extension of such solids fragment towards the library, where its degree works as indicator for the level of privacy. Open/ semi-open and closed spaces are a continuous dialogue between curvilinear and orthogonal separational elements generating ideal degrees of privacy for spaces such

Astana, Kazakhstan, 2013 This project responds to a brief for a national symbol for Kazakhstan to be built for the Astana Expo in 2017. The expo theme explores the post-fossil fuel energy paradigm. This nation monument visualises and generates wind energy through a field of metallic piezoelectric rods that sway in the wind. This horizontal turbulent cloud emerges from a field of hairs generated through a computational process that draws from the turbulent and laminar flow of fluids.

Melbourne, Australia, 2013 This project is for the design of an educational foundation that works with disadvantaged children. The brief called for a fitout of an existing warehouse to create non-institutional atmosphere in which the spaces are not discretely partitioned. The response to this provocation is a swarm of components that wrap, filter, and divide space to create a series of different teaching areas. This swarm is fabricated from EPS foam blocks that are carved with a hotwire by an industrial robot. The use of reprogrammable robots enable the components to intersect uniquely to produce highly affordable variation in space and formal expression.

Filaments and Fields; Studio Zaha M. Hadid
Building from previous projects in the studio which investigated the generative possibilities of datascapes, Filaments and Fields - Istanbul, Linear City explores the morphogenetic potential of context driven system mapping whilst critically examining what form a linear may take in the age of parametricism. The concept of a linear city has rich and ideologically varied history, from Miliutin’s master plan for Traktoskoi (1930), conceived as a prolongated factory, to Boutwell and Mitchell’s Continuous City (1969) which re-imagined the city a single programmatically enriched megastructure. Filaments and Fields mediates between an emergent bottom-up approach to urban planning and the heroism which underlies the proposal for a new canal connecting the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. Through this dialectic the repertoire of parametric master-planning is broadened and new typologies emerge. Filaments and Fields continues the studio’s research agenda by anticipating future architectural challenges, charting formal developments within an ever expanding solution space.

Since our transportation system is basically based on the control of speed trough different distortion degrees and transformation from minimal to direct path that changes according to the transportation type, we mainly use this system for generating our field. Of course we don‘t just use distortion and the transformation from direct to minimal path, but we also apply the catalogue, with different semiotic tools, to further articulate the circulation system. The second part is the depiction from the other presentations. Here we particularly payed attention about which relationship program has to program and how does this influences each other in terms of quality.

High Performance High Rise
High rise buildings are the key technology in the urban development of many regions in the world. They are a fixed part in modern urban architecture. With the areal accumul ation of this architectonic type arise a new factor in the typ ology of cities. If you look at it objectively the intention is to get with a high density of development on the valuable city ground a useful area as high as possible and keeping urbane facilities as compact as possible.
This intentions are leading to negative side effects in the design process. Complex technical systems and energy systems for large buildings benefit from different utilizations and delayed energy requirements.
Total energy considerations of such intelligent building complex lead to an energy-optimized living and working space.
The type ‚high rise building‘ is generally inherent energy inefficient. Because of the special form technical requirem ents are leading to a bad relation between GFA and eff ective surface and therefore to a high energy consumption concerning construction, operation and recycling. Transp ort areas and the necessary surface for technical install ations are evident for the space plan and especially in the lower floors the use of natural light is difficult. Meteorol ogical circumstances are forcing exceptional solutions in facade design and hence are influencing the appearance of the building. The building height and the associated distribution of energy and urbanization requires an increased effort of technical building equipment. To be able to provide high climate comfort all days a year and optimized energy requirements, energy production and delivery of energy must harmonize and complement each other in the total energy concept.
The ventilation of skyscrapers must be controlled because of the mostly extreme windThe relationship between useful floor area and groundarea limits the use of renewable solar energy. Large glass facades and user-specific internal loads cause raised cooling loads. The high static requirements and the use of quality materials in the facade in high rise buildings need a lot of embodied energy for construction. situation in large heights.
possibilities
This special task needs an exact and comprehensive development. With new concepts of room organisation, a well planned mixture of different types of use as well as the application of advanced technologies it is possible to compensate the bad initial situation regarding energy performance. Simulation processes must accompany the architectural design of the building from the beginning, furthermore creative solutions for technical problems are essential. The use of local and regenerative energy resources, energy storage, energy recovery, deferred consideration requirem ents and usage of renewable energy sources ensure a harmonious overall energy concept for an optimized primary energy use. Energy-efficient systems as compon ent activation and thermally activated surfaces enable a comfortable climate in summer as in winter. Reduced air volumes, intelligent adjustment control and facades allow natural ventilation systems. perspectives
During lots of years high rise buildings established a place in peoples minds as a fixed part of a metropolis. A forward looking path in urban development should be the design of excellent architecture in consideration of local cultural situations far of standard serial planning. With a sophist icated architectural concept and the use of advanced technologies in design and realization we can get urban architecture with an extraordinary energy performance.
Energy overall concepts which consider climatic boun-dary conditions, natural energy resources and user-specific contemplation lower primary energy use in high-rise buildings reduce total primary energy commitment and allow in spite of technical complexity energy opimized buildings. At total energy optimized concepts, energysystems merge with sophisticated architectural drafts. programme highrise, floor area

STUDIO HADID VIENNA 2012
Biennale exhibition/ Common Ground: Applied Arts Vienna
For the last years the studio‘s agenda has been to investigate into the field of Parametricism. New ways of digitally generating intensive and extensive qualities and establishing intricate relationships within architectural systems and subsystems were explored, in order to form complex and coherent spatial arrangements. Most recently the semiological capacities of parametrically generated architectural forms were investigated. Within this scope of Parametricism, this year‘s research focused especially on shell structures and their manifolf potentials, calling for the research and development of innovative spatial models for sport venues and their related auxiliary program for the Olympic Park Rio de Janeiro 2016. Following up this research agenda, students have developed systematic catalogues of urban and architectural prototypes with regard to their semiological readability, in respect to the urban, spatial, programmatic or social parameters deducted from the specific program. The design of these proto- architectural elements is based on the through research of different shell structures and their formal, spatial, technological and structural properties and their multiple potentials for parametric differentiation.

Parametric semiology/ shells; Studio Zaha M. Hadid
The aim is the exploration of the potential that shells as a tesselated whole might offer, by keeping the structurally optimized and efficient characteristics of the catenary system as well as the charachteristics of the pneumatic system. Our particular focus is based on the semiological aspect of the project. In order to be able to deal with an area like the olympic village, a range of tools have been developed enabling to multilevel the system through the change of rigidity of the shell, the achievement of in- and decrease of directionality given by the way the shell is constrained on the floor as well as the creation of particular borders by switching between point and line constraints.
Both, catenary and pneumatic systems, due to its characteristics and form, are used for a different progarm type. Since the catenary system can be tessellated without having any intersections, we used that system for generating the field. While the pneumatic system, due to its curvature that is percieved as inviting, is mainly used for generating the stadiums of the olympic village. The interior spaces of the stadiums, always generated with the pneumatic system, use the repelling behavior influencing the space next to it depending from which medium is used for the inflation, enabling to read the hierarchical degree that the space next to each other might have.
For the field of the village, the fragmentation degree of the catenary shells are an indicator for semi- public space. At the same time the merge with the ground is a signifier for public space. This gradually happens while coming close to the stadiums.

From the beginning of the semester we have been analyzing different form-finding techniques, focusing our attention to two main systems: pneumatic and catenary. The construction of a series of physical and digital models gave us the opportunity to understand the structural principles of both pneumatic balloon and catenary chain. Furthermore, this analysis led us to explore the architectural potentials embedded on those two form-finding techniques. For Olympic and Paralympic Games Rio 2016 masterplan, we propose to articulate the project complexity through a series of structural variables (pressure/gravity,constraints, surface creases,etc. ), that characterize the semiotic perception of the space in both urban and architectural scale.

Designed for places like Venice, that might disappear in near future, this project uses the flood and the increase of the water level just like any other common ground.
The volume and weight has been calculated in order to not sink into the water. Lots of tubes are installed at the bottom of foundations. After the flood the house will sink down at the same height as usually. The environmental influence will not have any impact with everydays life.

Fragmentation
fragmentation in nature is commonly perceived as an indicator for defaulted, decomposed medium which seldomely is ideally used as an habitat.
This phenomena caused by environmantal forces such as heat, absence of liquid, might architectually been used for generating different spatial qualities such as isoleted (private) spaces, connected (shared) in relation to the degree of fragmentation.
Cracks might provide the needed illumination conditions. The thickness of the medium changes according to exterior forces such as wind, affecting the surfaces which architecturally might be the facades.
Light material will be removed from the ground, taking seat in other concave places, pretty much generating spaces which aquire collective meaning...
