New Dimensions Introduction
For more than ten years meanwhile, BASEhabitat has been advocating a humanitarian and sustainable approach within the ďŹ eld of architecture and has compiled a remarkable portfolio over the years. The past two years were especially eventful and important on our way; BASEhabitat has, for instance, been an oďŹƒcial member of UNESCO Chair Earthen Architecture since 2014. The BASEhabitat International Summer School 2014 was a big success and united people from all over the world with their heart beating for earthen and bamboo architecture. A large step towards more capacity to act could be taken in 2015 with the funding and employment of a BASEhabitat-own construction manager. The many large and small mutual successes of BASEhabitat have prompted the University of Art and Design Linz to commission the design of its own BASEhabitat master study program. Work on the concept began in July 2015 and the start of the master program is planned for autumn 2017.

Through persistent work in the three core areas of Education, Projects and Network we want to further stand up for more awareness of sustainability and humanism in architecture. We would not have been able to master many steps without all the companions and promoters who have supported us monetarily or ideally. We would like to especially thank the Pancivis Foundation Liechtenstein. Most of the projects presented in this annual report were ďŹ rst made possible by their support. We wish you much pleasure in looking back upon the last two years and also hope to be able to build upon your support in the future!

Since the beginning, the mediation of practical knowledge in dealing with sustainable building materials has been an integral component of BASEhabitat’s work—material science, (experimental) techniques and precise construction methods are taught in a practically relevant manner in various workshops and an international Summer School. At these occasions, experts from the most diverse specialist ďŹ elds inspired a young generation and encouraged them to go out as multipliers and to pass this enthusiasm on. The goals are the networking as well as continuous transfer and further development of knowledge concerning sustainable architecture.

BASEhabitat International Summer School on modern earthen architecture and bamboo construction
Humanitarian architecture and the practical handling of natural building materials are topics that concern architects worldwide. As a reply to numerous inquiries from abroad, BASEhabitat has decided to accelerate international education. The idea of the Summer School was already born several years ago. In 2010, the ďŹ rst test run took place in Gmunden; the format was decisively advanced in 2014 with a large International Summer School on modern earthen architecture and bamboo construction.

100 participants from 34 countries came together in Altmßnster, Upper Austria in order to learn more about rammed earth, adobe, straw and earthen construction, as well as bamboo construction. Several theoretical modules addressing sustainable architecture with all its challenges were additionally oered. An excursion led to the most well-known contemporary earthen constructions in Vorarlberg and in Switzerland. The Summer School provided many opportunities for exchanges of knowledge and experience. What has emerged from this two-week workshop is a global network on sustainable construction in which the participants still stand today in active contact with each other—advising, inspiring and helping one another. Due to this great success, the Summer School is to be continued biennially in the future.

Special thanks go out to our sponsors and supporters! dOKA provided us with formwork material for the rammed earth workshop. The EdEr brickworks have been generously supplying us with material donations for years. The Glatzhofer Company from Eferding made the timber construction for the cob pavilion available to us at a reasonable price. We thank Lagerhaus Altmünster for offering us a discount on purchases during the Summer School. The Municipality of Altmünster loaned us a compressor and helped with sand and gravel deliveries. Pancivis Foundation Liechtenstein kept us financially grounded so that we could dare such a big event. Thanks for many scholarships for participants from far away. Schachinger Logistics lent us mobility during the Summer School through their company vehicles and provided a storage space for our bamboo poles and other building materials. The farmer Johann Secklehner supplied us with his compulsory mixer and tractor. The Zebau Company from Gmunden generously lent us construction machines and tools. The AgrarBildungsZentrums Salzkammergut team of Director Barbara Mayr, Doris Derflinger and Reinhardt Nickl was an important support. The thought of sustainability is palpable in and around the building.

Hands-On Earthen Architecture 1 15 to 17 January 2015 University of Art and Design Linz Austria
In experimental and creative units, clay could be experienced first-hand and hands-on. The physical properties of the construction material of clay and its usability in various mixtures was tested; the main emphases were placed on adobe techniques and plastering. The workshop, led by Gian Franco Noriega from team amàco, proved to be a crucial basis for a team of students who subsequently travelled to India and could directly apply the acquired knowledge there during construction practice. amàco is a training and research project that intensively deals with diverse building materials for sustainable construction. The exchange between researchers, instructors, engineers and students, between art and construction, stands at the center of amàco’s working method. We are happy about the good collaboration and the beginning of a wonderful friendship.

Regularly we receive project inquiries from around the world. We examine the most interesting of them more closely and, depending on the possibility, start cooperation. In addition to the completion of the project in India, PHOOLNA teachers’ flats in India, which has been ceremoniously opened in August 2015 and nominated for the Terra Award, we designed the CHINKO headquarters in the Central African Republic in 2014 and are starting in 2016 with a design in the Yungas region of Bolivia. We are continuing our work in India through the project SUNDERPUR housing. After years of mainly international building activity, we began with the AllQuartier* project, the first larger research project for Austria, in 2015. All of these projects make a continuous advancement of our work possible. Particularly important for us is the exchange with visionaries who develop joint projects with us, with craftspeople and experts from all sectors who enrich us with their knowledge and, most notably, with the users whose opinions and feedback, from the inquiry process to completion, are extremely valuable.

CHINKO Headquarters March 2014 to March 2015 Chinko Nature Park Central African Republic
We took the big challenge to design a trainingand administration centre for a young nature park in a really remote area. The Central African Republic is regarded as very poor economically, but possesses a unique wealth of untouched landscapes. One of them is the Chinko-Mbari Basin in the east of the country. The ngo Chinko Project has set its sights on not only protecting this valuable ecosystem, but also on creating jobs and training possibilities for the local population—a resource-saving and sustainable project in all respects is to be created. At the beginning of 2014, the ngo Chinko Project commissioned the bASehabitat Studio with the preparation of a master plan and a concrete design for a headquarters building in the nature park. The ngo was able to secure funding for the building in the same year and the implementation was promptly begun. Unfortunately, the conditions on site proved to be very diďŹƒcult. As a consequence, the actual realization varied tremendously from the original design concept.

PHOOLNA Teachers’ Flats October 2012 to August 2015 Sunderpur Bihar, India
30 students from the University of Art and Design Linz had been on site since 2013 in the course of several building practices in order to support the local workers during the construction of the apartments. We are especially proud that we succeeded in providing 15 unskilled laborers with training in a skilled trade that opens professional perspectives up for them. A master plan for the small village of Sunderpur had already been created by the students from Linz in the Summer Semester of 2012. The key objectives were to push the independent economic development of the leprosy village, to strengthen education and to improve the precarious housing situation of the populace. Around 300 children live in the village, all of whom attend the school there and are hoping for a better future. The prerequisites, however, are difficult—it is nearly impossible to find good teachers who want to teach and live in the poor, remote village. Therefore, as an initial measure, the construction of teachers’ flats was begun.

Self-produced adobe bricks (unfired bricks) and bamboo were the dominant building materials. The moisture and temperature regulating properties of loam are vitally important in the prevailing climate. 15 unskilled laborers from the village and around 30 students from the University of Art and Design Linz built the apartments in several stages. Together with the ngo Little Flower and the village administration of Sunderpur, all of the challenges could be mastered and the project successfully completed. In the summer of 2015 the first teachers were already able to move in. Not only did the project receive coverage in the local press, it was also chosen among the best projects in the “Cooperative Housing” category for the first Terra Award in 2016. A particular success of the project is the training of the local workers. Young people without (vocational) training acquired a lot of knowledge over the three-year construction period—knowledge that currently gives them the possibility to find work outside the village.

The community can now produce adobe bricks autonomously and also treat the locally growing bamboo so that it is usable for building purposes. This is an important step towards financial independence.

The building practice of the Linz students was prepared and followed up in the scope of several courses at the University of Art and Design Linz. In a comprehensive process the students were able to closely follow the steps from the original idea to the concrete implementation and learn to deal with the (apparent) contradictions between theory and practice, between plan and reality. Each and every person who spent several weeks in India returned full of enthusiasm and with an altered view of the (their own) world. Spending five weeks in a foreign culture, experiencing everyday life first-hand, overcoming one’s own limits on the construction site—these are only a few of the challenges met by the participants. All of the participants are rightly proud and excited about what could be created together.

The building practice of the Linz students was prepared and followed up in the scope of several courses at the University of Art and Design Linz. In a comprehensive process the students were able to closely follow the steps from the original idea to the concrete implementation and learn to deal with the (apparent) contradictions between theory and practice, between plan and reality. Each and every person who spent several weeks in India returned full of enthusiasm and with an altered view of the (their own) world. Spending five weeks in a foreign culture, experiencing everyday life first-hand, overcoming one’s own limits on the construction site—these are only a few of the challenges met by the participants. All of the participants are rightly proud and excited about what could be created together.

AllQuartier* Affordably well-housed November 2015, continuing Linz, Austria
In the scope of a new project, BASEhabitat has been concentrating on the possibility of creating costeffective, sustainable living space in Austria since the fall of 2015. The urgent need for inexpensive living space for all population groups, intensified by the discussion on sensible accommodation for asylum seekers, has motivated bASehabitat to search for human and ecological solutions to a pressing problem. In the course of the AllQuartier* project, work has been done on developing an affordable and sustainable living module system. The goal is affordable and, at the same time, good spaces—for the residents and for society as a whole. It is a matter of economics and saving at the right places, neither at the expense of the quality of life, nor at the costs of future generations or the world (environment).

A model cluster, consisting of two base units of 54 m2 each and an access part, can be stacked on three to four levels and consequently forms the base element. By adding these base modules, small and large complexes with 150 or more apartments can be organized. When laying out the model cluster, major importance is attached to the creation of semi-public open spaces. AllQuartier* consists 90 % of solid spruce wood. The shell construction module conforms to the completed expansion stage and the wood remains visible, experienceable and perceptible in all parts. The overall compact outer shell offers ideal preconditions for low energy consumption. Façades and windows guarantee good energy indexes.

Utilization neutrality and openness arise through simple room layouts and the approximately samesized rooms that are less determined in a functional sense. The units facilitate the transformation and change of needs, family constellations and ways of culture and living. The prefabricated room units can initially be deployed as emergency accommodation. They can also be set up again after several years as whole units or in parts at another location.

SuNdErPur Housing October 2015, continuing Sunderpur Bihar, India
In autumn of 2015 we began a further project in the same village we have been working in for three years already. The aim is to improve the housing situation of the residents. Everyone involved can enormously profit from the long collaboration, and encounters at eye level are made possible. bASehabitat has already been active in the leprosy village of Sunderpur since 2012. As most of the residential buildings on site are in a bad condition and the extremely tight-measured living spaces show serious deficiencies in the sanitary infrastructure, the issue of housing construction became a direct focus of attention. During an investigation in October 2015, bASehabitat decided together with the village residents to develop a model solution for creating new living space that foresees various apartment types to accommodate families of three to ten persons. The houses are to allow for flexible room arrangements so that the building can adapt to the changing needs of a family. Since good experiences with adobe (unfired bricks) have already been made in the village, this technique is to also be applied in housing. The design proposes a two-row development with three two-story units each that will be occupied by a large family or by two medium-sized households. Inner courtyards and verandas afford private outdoor spaces. Two widely projecting roofs offer protection from driving rain and overheating.

Construction is to commence in February 2016; a team of six students from the University of Art and Design Linz and two external female interns will erect the first buildings until July, actively supported by local laborers from the village. This is the first project involving the bASehabitat construction manager. bASehabitat also assumes the costs for the local laborers and building material for HoUSIng Sunderpur. Thanks to the Karl Zünd Foundation which guarantees that the work of bASehabitat will continue to gain in terms of quality by generously funding the construction manager position from 2016–2021.

These cooperations tremendously enriched our work. Partner for sustainable wastewater disposal – University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. Sunderpur, with its more than 1,000 inhabitants, does not have a functioning wastewater disposal system. The overfilled cesspits are a time bomb. Therefore, it was important to plan the issue of wastewater disposal as well. We were able to gain Dipl.-Ing. Dr.nat.techn. Günter Langergraber from the Institute of Sanitary Engineering and Water Pollution Control at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna as a partner. Together with two students he developed several variants for wastewater disposal. The main element is the separation of the wastewater into gray and black water (various types of wastewater and wastewater from toilets)—an important prerequisite for efficient cleansing. Our partner in questions concerning seismology is the Vienna University of Technology. The earthquake in Nepal in April 2015 could also be clearly felt in Sunderpur and decisively showed the necessity of quakeproof construction. We were able to win over Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Kamyar Tavoussi from the Department of Architectural Sciences, Structural Design and Timber Engineering at the Vienna University of Technology as an expert in this field. He provided important information to the students during the design process.

Over the years BASEhabitat could gather a lot of knowledge and experience, know-how that we want to share with others. On the other hand our work is being enriched by the support from others. That is why the exchange in international networks like the UNESCO Chair Earthen Architecture is important to us, as well as the long-lasting cooperation with our partners. In the second half of the 2015 one focus of our work lay in the processing and publication of our recent projects, at the same time, a travel guide for earthen architecture in Central Europe was compiled. This documentation will appear as brochures and also be available as downloads on our website. In addition, our website will also be available in Spanish in 2016. In this way we are coming closer to our goal of providing interested people all over the world with our know-how in an easily accessible manner. We are happy about each and every person who contributes to our work and shares our passion. A great part of our work ďŹ rst becomes possible through our network of promoters, friends and those who accompany us on our path. Thanks very much!

BASEhabitat Publication Series It is our desire to critically reect upon our projects and to not only examine the building itself, but also the origination process. We are interested in the questions of organization, cooperation, training successes, eďŹƒciency, costs, acceptance and functionality of the buildings.
Travel Guide Earthen Architecture In order to show that earthen construction has a tradition as well as a future in Central Europe, we have put together a travel guide that contains interesting projects of historic and contemporary earthen architecture. Those interested can plan their routes through Europe with the help of the travel guide and an interactive online map.
We have taken the time to process the current bASehabitat projects and to publish them as a publication series. All of the brochures will be published in June 2016 and also be available to download from our website.

Finance BASEhabitat and the “ever-precious money” 2014|2015
The financing of bASehabitat cannot be illustrated simply or according to common patterns because the sources and forms of support and funding are too different. On one hand, there are the big sponsors with various promotional conditions and goals; next to them are the many smaller supporters, material donators and those who participate through voluntary collaboration. Then there are the ngos that reimburse the expenses, governmental and civil society organizations that cofinance projects, or interns who take over the smaller and larger tasks in an idealistic mission. Belonging to this group as well are, above all, our students, who sometimes personally bear the costs, including the flights, for repeated work stays lasting weeks. In turn, our university pays for the two permanent employees of the management team, and partially for freelancers who perform clearly defined tasks. Moreover, the university makes the work infrastructure and the spaces available, provides legal advice and accounting services and takes over the bigger part of education. The core task of bASehabitat can hardly be exemplified by numbers alone. Those refer to the development of the designs and the work at the building sites. Instructors (professors and assistants) and students have never been remunerated for their efforts in this regard. Up to today these contributions have been made voluntarily and we still haven’t found a form to monetarily evaluate them.

bASehabitat is a project studio within the Department of Architecture at the University of Art and Design Linz. Professor Roland Gnaiger founded bASehabitat together with students in 2004. It has since implemented numerous projects in the field of humanitarian architecture worldwide. Approaches based around sufficiency and the maxim of “helping people to help themselves” are based on the following: social and cultural integration, environmentally friendly construction, the use of local resources, and the aesthetic demands of the architectural design as requirements for sustainable and self-determined development. In addition to construction projects on the ground, workshops are regularly held on working with loam and bamboo as construction materials. There is also a summer school that takes place every two years with active, international participation. bASehabitat has been a member of the UneSco Chair Earthen Architecture since 2014. To live up to the increasing worldwide interest in bASehabitat’s work and the need for projects in the area of humanitarian architecture, the University of Art and Design Linz has decided to establish a postgraduate bASehabitat master’s degree.
