„Community, a sociological concept, that emphasizes the closeness and familarity of human coexistence and this contrasts the social community with the increasingly anonymous mass society.“1

Introduction Based on the current topic of the revitalization of vacant spaces in the west of Leipzig, urban forms of communal living were analyzed in preparation for the B1 project on the basis of existing housing concepts of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as that of Le Corbusier‘s Unite Habitacion and that of Hermann Herzberger‘s Weesperstraat dormitory. The main theme of the project was the combination of a dense construction method in an urban context with generous, private outdoor spaces and a spatial program adapted to the needs of different residential parties. The building gap to be worked on, is located in the west of Leipzig, within a block structure of Max-Beckmannstraße, consisting of Wilhelminian residential development and post-war prefabricated buildings. Based on the heterogeneous context, the spatial program and a public use on the first floor, an experimental, new, communal housing model is to be created in an urban context.

the courtyard. The individual floors recede upwards from the courtyard side, so that wide residential terraces are created as outdoor spaces, and communication between the residents of the block development is promoted. The wide, long areas, serve as polyvalent common and private spaces, which can be designed and used according to their own needs. The building is divided into areas of social use (library, daycare center, gym, laundry room) and private use (residential units of different parties, canteen), oriented to the courtyard. In addition to the central access, which extends between the two areas, the second leads through the residential terraces.

Concept The concept is mainly aimed at optimizing communication and intensifying human relations, and is implemented through the integration of various facilities for daily needs and human requirements. The spatial program is divided into areas of private and public use and is distributed over four floors, which are based on numerous pillars on the first floor that raise the building from street level, so that there is no strict boundary between exterior and interior, private and public. The idea of the raised complex, emphasizes the passage character of the present building gap, which offers passers-by and residents, free access to

„Industry 4.0 is intended to denote the dovetailing of industrial production with state-of-theart information and communications technology. The central component and essential difference to Computer Intergrated Manufacturing (consequently called Industry 3.0) is the application of Internet technologies for communication between people, machines and products.“1

addition to the constructive elaboration of a design, the supporting structure and a building technology concept are to be developed.

Introduction This quote, which was published by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in the course of a project draft for future-oriented industrial standards, forms the basis for the content concept of the learning factory. By planning a new form of industry, demands on both the conceptual and the aesthetic are linked and implemented in the design. The site is located in the RWTH extension area Melaten, in the east of Aachen, whose urban context is characterized by modern large-scale structures. The spatial program of the production hall to be built provides for offices and seminar rooms in addition to the service rooms and the main hall. In

The main feature of the hall is the division into two subsystems and the point-symmetrical organization of the integrated cubes. Both parts of the hall form a common supply rail running along the central axis. The division into two sections is a feature of the hall‘s bipolarity and multivalent performance. Both sections each have a generous column-free usable area, and the restrained glass skin creates a maximum reference to the inspiring environment of Campus Melaten.

Introduction

Konzept

In the course of the project, a new urban district is to be developed on the site of the Lützow Barracks in the east of Aachen. Due to its previous use, the 40-hectare area lies like a foreign body in the urban space. The area is framed by different neighborhoods and traffic axes. The focus lies on the problem of urban development in the 21st century, and the implementation of an urban concept that responds to the needs of all social groups and takes up or complements the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhoods.

A new settlement called „Mira“ is to be built on the former site of the Lützow barracks, which will attempt to solve all the problems of today‘s society. The main idea is to establish a fair, humanistic and sustainable society through a cooperative and social enterprise structure, an unconditional basic income, sustainable housing, a basic democratic order and communal facilities and ventures. Mira only functions when the community is working. In order to promote this, urban planning as well as architectural measures have been taken, in addition to numerous social facilities. All residential structures have communal gardens with indoor and outdoor spaces. A green corridor symbolically connects the two residential quarters and also forms further meeting areas with numerous meeting points. The central square provides other meeting places in addition to the main administrations such as the market hall, commercial, school, gastronomic facilities etc. The most important building, the assembly hall, stands out from the general architectural language and serves as a landmark and identification.

Introduction Nikola Dobrovic is considered one of the most influential representatives of modern architecture of the then Yugoslavia. Besides the monumental General Staff in Belgrade and the planning of New Belgrade, the architect and town planner, left behind a fine work at the Adriatic Sea. Dobrovic designed numerous villas in and around Dubrovnik, especially during his productive period in the 1930s. Dobrovic also owned a small plot of land with access to the sea on the small island of Lopud below the Villa Vesna he designed 1938. He died in 1967 before he could finish his last design of a house for himself. The task was to design a project to remember Nikola Dobrovic, taking into account the changes in society, economy, politics and culture that have taken place over the past 80 years, as well as the exceptional topography, the diverse vegetation of the island and the slope of the site itself.

A wide door leads you through a hidden pine tree garden, where you rest for a while. But the warm sunrays falling on your head, are telling you to take the mysterious stairway, hidden in the wall. Reaching the last step, you are surrounded by wild but calm plants, dancing on a plot full of different stages. You are lifting your glance again. Taking one of the paths, you pass different terraces, wall bricks, an eucalyptus tree, date palm s and a white building, embedded in the topography of the coastline.

Concept Axonometric projection 1:100

In preparation for the project, numerous designs by Dobrovic were visited and analyzed in Belgrade as well as around Dubrovnik. Based on the for him, at that time modern views and strategies of mediterranean building, the individual projects should be developed. The narrow plot on the slope to the sea, is located directly below the Villa Vesna, which was completed in 1938 by Nikola Dobrovic and today surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation has fallen into oblivion. In order to activate this work and draw attention to Dobrovic‘s legacy, it is supplemented with the new design of a studio. This takes Dobrovic‘s style and strategies and reinterprets them in a contemporary way. Characteristic of both elements is their adaptation to the receding topography, which leads to the sea via stairs and green terraces. Both the exterior and the interior layout of Villa Vesna and

the studio adapt to the protrusions, creating interesting spatial constellations that interact playfully with the exterior space. The studio, which can welcome two artists at the same time, offers a perfect addition with the view of the island of Lopud and direct access to the sea. Villa Vesna will also be connected to the studio by a corridor, both above and below ground, and will serve as a place to stay for the temporary resident users of the studio. Together with the mapped plants of the site and the outdoor furniture designed by Dobrovic, a coherent and harmonious arrangement should be created which fits into the peaceful image of the island of Lopud.

The studio can be accessed in two ways, as there is the private access that leads directly from the property to the studio, and the public access through the walking path that runs above the atelier. Still in the garden of the villa, a new staircase is added to the existing staircase of the property, and below the footpath, it opens the pine courtyard of the studio, from where it is possible to enter the gallery with a restroom and temporary kitchen counter. The staircase leads to the lower groundfloor level and opens up the large common space of the studio with a panoramic view of the sea. From here, on both sides, there are niches that can be used individually by the artists. The external topography is incorporated at the head of the interior space by another gallery, through which visitors can view the exhibited works. The public accesses the site through the entrance from the walking path to the garden and is led to the interior of the studio through scenic staircases. In order to make a direct reference to Dobrovic‘s well-known panoramic roof terraces, the roof of the studio is also accessible from the plot itself but also on the same level from the walking path, thus offering visitors an amazing view on Lopud.

Napoli & it´s Monastery The city of Naples has a long and eventful history. The face of the city has changed greatly in the course of over 2500 years of history. The former Greek settlement was founded around 500 BC, as Neapolis - New Town. The city as we find it today is the result of constant growth and countless restructurings caused by foreign domination. From the late Middle Ages until the 18th century, the city was one of the largest cities in Europe. The original structure of the Greek and then Roman settlement can still be seen in the layout of the streets in the historic center of the city. The historical center is divided from west to east by three main axes running parallel, between which elongated residential blocks - the insulae - are spanned. Inside this superordinate structure, the streetscape is divided into innumerable small alleys, which connect the individual side streets with one another. But even the main access roads, are in many places no more than 4m wide, and yet the life of the city‘s inhabitants takes place mainly outside. Like ants, residents, tourists, scooters and small cars scurry through the narrow streets. In many places, small squares open up and provide a view of one of the countless churches. One searches in vain for green spaces and places of rest in this stony world. Within this tight urban fabric, lie quiet oases of large monastery complexes isolated by high walls from the bustle of the city. Although many of them have already been converted and opened to the surrounding area and the gro-

wing tourism, some remain unused and forgotten in the cityscape. One of the largest and most important complexes is the cloister of Santa Chiara, which was given a new look mainly due to the reconstruction after the Second World War. Old spatial structures, now no longer used, have already been converted for museum use. The area between the cloister wall and the wall to the city today forms an unused buffer zone that offers sufficient potential for conversion. In addition, the excavation of a Roman thermal bath was uncovered in this area and now requires the attention of new programming.

Project development In developing a concept, the main focus was on the thematic linking of the three individual zones of the project area. These are not only located on remote sides of the monastery, but also topographically at different heights. Initially, the 3D model of the monastery complex served as a basis and support, later the physical working model. The unused area, between the monastery facade and wall should be activated by additions of volumes and made attractive for the public. Through their stepping and the resulting variance in height, the volumes should fit into the topography and adapt it. Programmatically, an offer was to be created that would not only appeal to passers-by in the historical town, but also to students and peop-

le from the immediate vicinity. Uses such as studios and co-working spaces, student apartments, cafeteria, bar, cafe, exhibition and seminar areas should offer a sequence of interesting and different possibilities. Linked with spaces in between, open spaces, such as green areas as places of retreat or paved piazze, should enhance the respective uses. The design understands the area to be planned as a programmatic and creative whole. The concept of use established at the beginning of the design serves as a basis, which places the neighborhood and above all the students from the many universities in the vicinity at the center.

Fig. 8; 9: Photos Model

The until now closed inner area between the monastery and its old outer wall will be opened in the east and in the south. The area to the east, along the busy Via Santa Chiara, will have a space for events and a café that will become a bar in the evenings and will serve as a public sign. In the southern area, there is a residential building for students, a cafeteria and a learning space, which are arranged around a large courtyard that will serve as a meeting place for the neighborhood. To the west of the site are the excavations of a Roman baths, which will be enclosed in a garden area that will act as a retreat and quiet zone for the neighborhood. At the end of the eastern part is the ruin of a former pope school. This is to be converted into a cultural center with spaces for art, dance and leisure. As a design constant, the guided development in the form of a wooden arcade runs through the entire ensemble.

Former Carpentry Detail Two single-story structures will be inserted into the approximately six-meter narrow area of the former carpenter‘s workshop, which extends to the east of the complex between the monastery and its outer wall. These contain a cafe bar and a flexibly usable space for workshops. The volumes will be arranged to create a sequence of alternating open and closed spaces. The stone courtyards each receive a landscaped area and are designed as extensions of the public space.

This is the site of the four-story student residence, as well as a refectory and studio for study and work. Constructed in sand-colored masonry, the volumes blend into the surrounding building structure tufa. The residential building receives apartments of different sizes for one, two or three students and has a common floor with a large living-dining area and a terrace.

To the west of the complex stretches an elongated garden that rises from the lowest point in the south to the north. The wooden arcade leads the visitor first along the monastery, then around the excavations of the Roman baths and then back along the monastery to the building of the former Pabst School. The area of the excavations gets a glass roof, in this area the arcade widens. Here there is an information center, a coffee shop and sanitary facilities.

The building to be created should be a place in the environment of each individual where this search can take place. It should not turn away from it, close and function self-sufficiently, but act with it, show itself, present, invite. A place that unites and promotes the culture, history and knowledge of a society. A building for the city should take place, a center of university learning in the middle of an existing urban structure, which should support, promote and advance the previous acquisition and exchange of knowledge. The transformation of the learning process, the use of other learning materials, must be the subject of the design of such a place. The replacement of the books by the digital, is to be considered accordingly as criterion. The Internet makes the information we

be united under one roof. Rituals, customs and habits will take place alongside the process of learning. A, as metaphorically translated room of the living room, will be a space of coming together, of exchange about experienced, learned, recognized, seen. It will also be a place where people can retreat between breaks from university events, devote themselves to an activity of their own choice. Different possibilities of gastronomic service such as, canteen, bar, caffe or smaller kitchens for selfservice should be made available. Self-speaking spaces such as workshops and laboratories, equipped with different tools serve the students of specific learning paths. Ateliers and studios, universal spaces of self-design, can be adapted to one‘s needs for a longer period of time. Thus, there should be the possibility of renting rooms of this type. By forming the development through, tunnels, bridges, galleries, stairs, passages, the architecture should be made tangible. Views and insights promote the exchange of different individuals. The offer of different spaces, offers users the freedom to choose which environment they need at the given moment. In between, however, the freedom is suspended, and one is enticed to try new things, to discover the knowledge of other fields of knowledge and possibly apply it to one‘s own, by opening up and encountering different spaces. The origin of learning, raw nature itself, cannot be ignored. The living, green, luminous should surround the space created and help shape it. Seasons, the changing environment, takes man back to his origins and puts him in a different relation to what is present.

are looking for more readily available, giving time a new meaning. It enables people to get several pieces of information at the same time in the shortest possible time, which raises expectations of themselves and the quest for more. So there is a striving for a place of learning for the generation to whom everything is open nowadays. A world without borders, full of possibilities and opportunities. Caught still between the medial, and the tangible, assessable world of the book. Despite the dependence of man on the presence of a medium of the web, we still enjoy the presence of a space where you are surrounded by shelves full of books, under a ceiling floating far above you. There is an upheaval taking place that will play a major role in architecture. The changing learning paths are to be supported by a place that is not only defined as a place of learning, but also, on the one hand, as a place of encounter, of publicity, of presence and, on the other hand, as a place of retreat, of concentration. Consider the idea of the learning center, as a theater, as a stage with different scenes. Different actors first work on different topics, learn new things, link them with what they already know and exchange the results in groups, which is finally taken to an audience, where the knowledge can be further processed and used in a new way. A scene, stage, gallery, hall, exhibition space, offers the users to present what they have researched and learned to the public, thus removing the boundary between inside and outside, private and public. On the one hand, an individual or a group can transport the knowledge to the outside, on the other hand, the possibility of the public, the city flowing into the interior of the space, into the institution of the university itself, arises here. Thus, what is newly discovered can help shape the environment and become a reality. Large open spaces can otherwise also become places of urban culture, through recreational events through the cinema, theater, exhibitions, concerts, which could arouse the curiosity of all people. Daily life processes, should

DESCRIPTION A building is planned as a „learning center“ in the immediate vicinity of the current university library. The site is located in the campus image at a prominent location, close to the historic main building of the RWTH from 1885.

Fig. 11: Visualization Templergraben

Fig. 12: 1st floor

The building site is located in the eastern area of the Templergraben, close to the historic city center. In the row with the Reiff Museum (the Faculty of Architecture), the main building and the Super building, it is of great importance in terms of urban development. Currently, the site is partially built on in the north-west and north-east with the buildings of the university library. In the southern part of the site, at the intersection of Templergraben and Wüllnerstraße, there is a lawn with trees. In the presented design, the structure of the two existing buildings on the site was retained, expanded and converted. The aim of the project was to visually link the old substance with the new and to create a new address for RWTH‘s students. The concept is based on the new volume, which includes large-scale, flexible spaces and encloses or docks with the existing building. In the fixed structure of the existing building, fixed functions such as workshops, computer rooms, smaller study rooms, catering, sanitary facilities, etc. are located, while lecture halls, studios, study and reading rooms can be found in the new cube. Thus, a development from small to large takes place. In the first floor zone, the new building jumps back a few meters from the edge of the facade of the upper floors and, reinforced by the open glass membrane, invites people into the interior. Through the continued flooring from the outside to the inside and the ramps that bridge the height difference, the first floor is to be understood as an open space that can serve as a shortcut. The first floor zone is mainly used for functions such as workshops and catering, which can be supplied directly from here. Through the existing cores and three newly added staircases, the upper floors and the basement can be accessed, where, in addition to the spacious bicycle garage, a gymnasium and technical rooms are located. On the upper floors, several large structures poke through the open floors. For example, the reading rooms and lecture halls have greater room height and can be accessed from several floors. These

rooms form enclosed oases in the open learning landscape. On the upper floor, landscaped roof terraces alternate with library spaces, providing retreat space. The cube is closed off with a shed roof, so that the courtyard on the inside brings light into the spacious floors. The various floors project into the courtyard and thus communicate across the floors. The double facade encloses the building and offers a buffer zone that frames the floors. This also serves as an exchange area for the rooms and additional access between the ground level areas.

„Porous like this rock is the architecture. Construction and action merge into courtyards, arcades and staircases. In everything, one preserves the leeway that enables it to become the scene of new unforeseen constellations. One avoids the definitive, the marked. No situation appears as it is, conceived for ever, no figure asserts its „so and not otherwise“1.

Fig. 1: Collage_Naples then & now

The coastal metropolis of Naples is one of the liveliest cities in Europe. The metropolitan region brings together over 4 million inhabitants who move in, around and through the city every day. This fact manifests itself most clearly in the city‘s historic center, the most densely populated core area of any city in Europe. Visitors who drift through the city‘s narrow streets are flooded with stimuli, because everywhere there is something to see, hear and smell. What seems overwhelming, disorderly and wild to a stranger is everyday life for the Neapolitans. To understand how this city works, you have to look at the urban structure that has evolved over thousands of years and how its inhabitants use it. We have been living in Naples since September 2020, studying there at the university as Erasmus students and taking part in the lively life in the narrow streets of the city. In the course of the M1 project, which we completed at the University Federico II with Professor Ferruccio Izzo, we have already studied the architectural heritage of the historic center in detail. Through its architectural density and the overlapping layers of time from its history, which already spans thousands of years, the city offers one the opportunity to learn from it on different levels of observation. Naples can be seen as a good example of an „open city“ according to Richard Sennett‘s definition. The building structure, organized on a grid network of narrow street canyons preserved from Roman times, has hardly changed in its basic forms. The first floor zone, which is also the oldest layer of the urban fabric, is largely made up of what is probably the most archaic archetype of human dwelling, the so-called „bassi“, onerooms. These mostly very small plots of land are used in a variety of ways and form the basis for the diversity of uses and the supply framework of the city. Nowhere else in large European cities are there still so many microenterprises as in Naples. And if there is not enough space inside, the street space is occupied. In this way, a culture has emerged that makes the city‘s public spaces its own as a matter of course. Everywhere, in the alleys, on the squares and in the courtyards, „third places“ can be found that enrich the lives of the city‘s inhabitants. The architect and journalist Günther Hartmann once put it this way in the 172nd issue of the magazine „ÖkologiePolitik“: „The small-scale spatial structure provides for a small-scale economy, characterized by local cycles and a fine-grained system of personal relationships, division of labor and income. This „lane economy,“ as well as the manifold overlays of different uses, generate the much-vaunted liveliness of the city.“ 2

Fig. 6: Sketch_occupation acient wall

Fig. 3: Section_sourrounding area Fig 5: Photography, Ancient wall, Napoli In this „openness of the system“ lies the great quality of the city, which is favored by the urban structure and the mentality of the inhabitants. But Naples also presents structural and social problems. These include overcrowding, unemployment, poverty, an aging population, infrastructure congestion and a backlog of modernization. While Naples has a central function in the regional context and is a center of attraction for young people from the surrounding economically disadvantaged areas, it is often at a disadvantage in a national and European comparison with economically stronger metropolises such as Milan or Turin. Among other things, this leads to many welleducated people migrating to economically more attractive locations. This is contrasted by the great sympathy that the city‘s residents feel for their homeland. With its location on the Gulf, its mild climate and its rich architectural heritage, the city has many location factors that other metropolises can only envy. We believe that it is possible to promote a positive development with regard to the aforementioned problems by means of urban planning. For this reason, we have decided to make Naples the subject of our master‘s thesis. With our project, we would like to show perspectives on how a brownfield site close to the city center can become a future-oriented, integrative urban building block that respects its history, but also enables new developments and complements the surrounding neighborhoods in a meaningful way. The site to be revitalized is located in the immediate vicinity of Naples‘ main railway station and covers an area of approximately 70 hectares. An important characteristic of the site is its structural and spatial inventory. This is to be preserved to the greatest possible extent. There are already examples on the site of how the former logistics buildings can be converted into spaces for culture, gastronomy and education. This process is to be continued, with the aim of promoting the development of a creative location. As Richard Sennet describes in his book „Open City,“ Naples possesses urban, structural, and social qualities that have been largely lost in many major European cities today. We want to identify these qualities and investigate to what extent they can be integrated into our design. The main question we want to answer with our work is...

How can we develop the potential of the site in such a way that a quarter is created that is sustainable, creates jobs and living space, has a high quality of life, connects the adjacent areas and shows new perspectives in the center area?

Manifest

As Master students in the 4th semester, we came to Naples a year ago to study and to get to know the city, its inhabitants and their way of life. The incredible complexity, the enormous density and pulsating liveliness fascinated us from the beginning. But also the peculiarity of the inhabitants defines the city. Their openness, their adaptability and their way of playing the public space like a theater. After having studied in Naples for two semesters and having had the opportunity to study the city extensively, we decided to make it the subject of our master‘s thesis. We chose the site of the former freight station on the outskirts of the city center as the setting. The area borders on the historic industrial zone of Naples, which is currently undergoing a transformation process. Plans of the city administration foresee a predominantly infrastructural use of the land in the future. We are convinced that the site has too great a potential and too important a position in the urban context to be used only for one purpose. Especially in the context of the renewal of the eastern part of the city center, it can play a mediating role due to its boundary status. The intention of our design is to show perspectives how these potentials can be better used. The goal is to design a neighborhood that represents a future-oriented, integrative urban building block that respects its history, but also initiates new developments and complements the surrounding neighborhoods in a meaningful way. Based on the analysis of the existing urban structure and the planned developments for East Naples, we aim to develop a master plan that draws an alternative future scenario for the site. In doing so, the area is to become a place of identification for the city‘s residents. Our idea is to work with the existing industrial heritage. Through the conversion of the existing buildings, a creative millieu is to be created. Space for associations, educational institutions, business start-ups and leisure facilities is to be created and sensibly supplemented by new typologies. The adjacent structurally weak neighborhoods are to benefit from the developments on the site. In the end, a dense, mixed neighborhood is to beSourrounding createdarea that is unique in the urban context, but takes on the characteristics of the city and functions in interaction with it. analysis

area of the site is wedged between the railroad tracks and a freeway feeder road, and development must occur in a manner that provides for quiet contained interior areas. The fourth zone is the newly created park, located on the border with the industrial area to the east. This zone, which is in the process of transformation, should be responded to with a soft boundary. The park should act as a link and provide much needed green space to the surrounding neighborhoods. Along the northern boundary, a noise barrier must be created by the development. To the south, the regional railroad tracks are to be built over and connections to adjacent areas are to be created. The area is characterized in the inner-city context by its unique spatial effect. Compared to the narrow alleys of the city center, one feels an extreme spaciousness here. This results from the former infrastructural use of the site with its low existing buildings and the great length of the visual axes resulting from the linearity of the railway tracks. In addition to the preservation of the building fabric, this characteristic should not be lost in the design. Along these axes, a coherent network of public open spaces with different amenity qualities is to be spun. In this way, a neighborhood is to be created that respects its historical background, responds to the demands of the times and exploits the potential of the site. masterplan

At the beginning of the design, there was the creation of a concept of use and the distribution of these uses on the site. Due to the large length and relatively small width, it was decided to divide the area into different zones. The design is thus divided into four areas, with different use profiles. The first area, at the entrance of the neighborhood in the west, due to its character as a place of movement and lively activity, requires a robust concept of use that fits into the rhythm of the place. Accordingly, it is conceived as a 24hour quarter that includes commercial uses, hospitality, offices, and recreational facilities. The manner of development is intended to create an open boundary and develop a welcoming gesture. The second sector is dominated by the existing buildings of the former freight station. Through conversion and addition of new storeys, spaces are to be created here in which a creative milieu can develop. Working, studying and living are to take place here in the immediate vicinity. The third area is a residential quarter with commercial and public uses in the first floor zone. This is intended to respond to the city‘s need for residential space and at the same time create density. This

its western tip. Here, the topics of conversion, connection, integration of new volumes and dedication of the open spaces play an important role. Floor plans, sections and perspectives show how the existing buildings and the new ones relate to each other and what new urban situations are created. The area depicted is a very lively zone, characterized by the rhythm of the different times of the day and the related movement of people. The automobile traffic entering the neighborhood from the west is collected by a newly created parking garage in order to avoid high traffic volumes in the areas located deeper in the area. On the roof of the parking garage there is a large sports field, which can be accessed via a free-standing stair tower. This is located on the newly created square of the station of the „Circum Vesuviana“, which is located on the southern boundary. The new volume, is accessible from the square and the lower street level. Adjacent to the station is another volume, which includes commercial units on the first floor offices on the first floor and residential on the floors above.It programmatically connects to the existing neighboring building. North of the main access road, there is a two-story existing building that is being gutted and topped up. From now on, it will be used for gastronomic purposes. The second floor will be used for sports and cultural activities. Together with the new tower buildings and the extension of the train station at the entrance to the area, the existing building forms a public space that is lively at all times of the day and especially in the evening hours.

hipment station, the handling of the northern border to the tracks of the main station and the integration of new residential typologies, in this complex context. The question in the foreground was how a residential use is possible in this context and what potentials are hidden in this situation, which appears to be unfavorable. In a first step, it was necessary for this to break away from the current use of the station, as a logistics location, and to examine its potential for possible conversions. In the process, it became clear that the open spatial plan of the halls, in combination with the generous room height, could contain diverse functions. In addition, there is the enormous spatial quality of the interior area, which is not used today and in our conception as a partially shaded, semi-public space, further expands the possibilities. A broad spectrum of potential uses was then developed, ranging from coworking space, workshops and laboratories to recreational facilities and restaurants. Floor plans, sections and perspectives show how these uses could spatially manifest at the site. This is contrasted with two long residential blocks with freestanding stair towers and arcade access, which show a small-scale structure of residential units. The floor plan shows an upper floor consisting of one-bedroom apartments and common areas. To respond to the noise of the railway tracks, there are conservatories in front on the north side. The transoms leave a wide green strip to the boundary of the tracks. The site should be enlivened by the permanent residents and users of the station.

Detail C shows the neighborhood square at the end of the

station halls in the center of the area and marks the beginning of the residential area that connects to the east. To complement the public uses that will be integrated into the old warehouses, a new structure was positioned on the square. This contains a large flexible event space on its first floor. And captures the horizontal movement of the warehouses. Together with the body of the spiral access tower, the event hall forms an outdoor space enclosed on three sides. In addition, a second level is given to the space on the roof of the structure, which provides a view over the surrounding area. The open space sees itself as a place to arrive and linger, but also as a stage for public life. On this stage different activities take place, in the northern of the two hall bodies, a fitness studio was established which should provide the users of the area with balance, the sporting activities should extend into the outdoor space. In the southern hall, a stationary market structure is to be set up to attract visitors and provide a culinary offer during lunchtime. Over the flat halls, the sun will fall on the square until late in the evening and will be absorbed by the curved body of the cultural café. In the southern wing of the building, a bar is to be installed, opening onto the square and inviting visitors to enjoy an aperetif. Lush vegetation sprouts in the square and continues in the trackbed of the former train station. This semi-shaded trackbed oasis serves as an alternative place to stay during the hot summer months and couples with the old covered track in the center, at the beginning of which a large seating tribune leads to the exhibition area further up.

Fig. 40: Isonometry illustrates the spatial constellation of the new school center, which adjoins the residential area in the east and marks the transition of the area into the large park. In order to realize this, the tracks of the „Circum Vesuviana“ which have cut off the area in the east from the rest of the city so far, are to be built over. The new center will be organized around the former railroad sheds, and by covering the tracks, the southeastern part of the site will be connected to a large area of wasteland that stretches between the freeway access road and the industrial area. To compensate for the difference in elevation, the park will rise from east to west across the entire site until it reaches the level of the school center. From here, the park flows into the area. The school center consists of a two-grade elementary school, a four-grade kindergarten and event and sports halls located in the old locomotive sheds. The shed buildings are well suited for their new uses due to the large spans of their construction. On the north side runs the road that connects the area to the transport network in the industrial zone.The structures of the kindergarten and the school will be arranged in relation to the engine sheds in such a way as to create a contained schoolyard. This is to become an exciting play and learning landscape through small sports fields and areas with different floor coverings. The locomotive sheds serve as a noise barrier. Other relics of the previous use will remain and provide clues to the history. The center is intended to create a safe place to learn and play for the children of the new residential area, as well as for the young residents in the „Gianturanalysis co“ neighborhood to the east.

The basic idea of the design was to develop a sustainable construction. This does not only mean the materiality, but also the use. The idea was to create a beer garden whose size and structure could be easily changed, thus allowing for various uses. It can be enlarged or reduced in size depending on capacity, concerts can be held or soccer matches can be broadcast. As required by the brief, the beer garden can be easily dismantled in the fall, but it is also possible to use it year-round by adding some elements. This would also allow a mulled wine stand in winter. Flexibility and diversity: The theme of flexibility plays an important role in the design. As already explained in the first section, the beer garden can be changed in just a few steps. There is a fixed segment consisting of a bar with storage areas behind it. On one side of the beer garden there is an area that can be freely used with beer bars and tables. This part is not covered and can be left completely free. On the other side of the segment there are several frames, which can be supplemented depending on the load. These

frames have rollers, which run in a rail for stabilization. No anchoring to the ground is necessary. The frames also have pre-drilled holes that make it easy to change their additional functions. Convertible: The mobile wooden frames allow for a variety of use scenarios. scenarios of use. For example, a small area can be left open for an exhibition. can remain open for an exhibition, for example. It is possible to work with a light can be used as a roof, which can be moved with the frame. can be moved. Also can be reacted so well to the Aachen weather.

Scenario 1: A sunny day is expected. So the frames can be rolled out from their storage position and awnings can be stretched between them. If rain is predicted in the evening, the whole system can simply be rolled back to its original position next to the fixed segment.

Scenario 2: A concert is to be held in the beer garden, but rain is forecast and it is supposed to cool down during the evening. In this case, wall and roof elements made of OSB panels can be installed in the rails provided for this purpose at the side of the frames. Or, alternatively, frames with polysterol corrugated sheets screwed in front of them can be installed.

Symmetry: The pavilion is built in the back green area of the Carman Hof. At the axis, which leads centrally through the fixed part of the pavilion, the covered interior is reflected to the open exterior. Due to the three-sided superstructure, the bar is oriented on three sides, allowing the pavilion to communicate with its surroundings on all sides.

Site selection: Site selection is already dictated by the brief, but the design allows for other locations and various orientations on the project site.

Transformation: Since the pavilion is intended to be used year-round, it can also be transformed using can be closed with the help of OSB panels and corrugated sheeting. the interior can be heated in winter, or the corrugated sheet can protect the interior the interior can be protected against rain all year round

Materials: -Sun sail: Polyester fabric with PU coating and UV protection. -Wall and roof elements: OSB board, polysterol corrugated sheeting -trusses/supports: spruce from regional production

Reuse: Only plug-in and screwed connections are used, so that and screw connections, so that it is possible to assembly at a different location is possible, without the use of new components. Pre-drilled allow for a high degree of variance variance, which adapts to the location.

All materials are fastened with plug-in and screw connections to allow easy dismantling. Great importance was attached to a circular construction. Fig. 3: Vizualization

Location The design-build studios at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences / Peter Behrens School of Arts in Düsseldorf and RWTH Aachen University have long experimented with innovative learning methods that integrate practical teaching as a concept into the mostly theoretical academic curriculum. As part of their studies, bachelor‘s and master‘s students learn to implement their ideas 1:1 and move from theory to practice. In the current assignment, students from the German HSD/ Peter Behrens School of Arts (Social Impact Studio), RWTH Aachen University (Chair of Building Science) and the Guinean university ISAU - Institut Supérieur d‘Architecture et d‘Urbanisme are jointly developing and building a prototype elementary school in West Africa. Guinea is one of the last countries in the world which is hardly developed in terms of infrastructure and economy. The school site is located far from urban civilization in the Faranah region in the village of Santiguyah. The mud hut village with its 300 inhabitants has no electricity and water comes from a public well. The school project was initiated by the Guinean Ministry of Education MEN-A and the German governmental development cooperation within the framework of the program „Guinea II Basic Education Program“. The aim of the program was to provide continuous access to quality education for a larger part of the Guinean population. After almost a year of design and execution planning, the first four-month construction phase began in January 2019, with completion planned in 2020. Due to the pandemic, the construction was completed in 2022. Around 100 students from Germany and

and the villagers. The design includes a primary school campus for 250 students with two classroom buildings consisting of 6 classrooms, 2 toilet blocks with water points, a director‘s house, and a soccer field, school garden, and housing for the teachers. Improvements to the local standard school building type was tested through spatial innovations, the installation of a passive ventilation system with a thermal double roof, and the use of local materials. Due to the tropical weather conditions prevalent in Guinea, natural cooling of the building was of great importance to the design. Therefore, a sustainable passive ventilation system was developed using the interaction of solar radiation and shading.

Guinea as well as young tradesmen have been involved. Throughout, there has been an intensive learning and construction process with the local villagers. Furthermore, a close cooperation with the local vocational school „Centre de Formation Professionnelle“ was agreed upon.

Our group was divided into subgroups, which were assigned to different tasks on the construction site. Together with helpers from the Guinean village and students from Düsseldorf, our groups task was dedicated to the roof construction. In order to construct the brick-built vaults as precisely as possible, we first built wooden formwork on which the vault could later be built. For this purpose, the stones were also produced on site in previous construction phases and cut to size by another group during the bricklaying process.

Due to the Corona Pandemic all colleges had to leave the primary school construction site suddenly in midMarch, the school was being completed in a great process by the construction manager, local craftsmen

The disused underpass at the Petersstraße/ Kurhausstraße intersection in Aachen is to be turned into a city hall in a student self-construction project: A place for smaller events and exhibitions that is open to a broad public. The annual exhibition of the architecture faculty was planned as a first event will kick off the project in 2021. What is now a difficult location has become festive. It received lighting, a light roof and furniture at the bottom of the stairs that can be a counter, lectern and other things. The walls can be wallpapered, the steps had been reshaped into larger steps and can also serve to display objects. The construction is largely movable and also light, so as not to obscure the stores behind. Through its visible presence in the urban space, the roof is intended to draw attention to the commitment that is currently being given to the district.
