ACADEMIC PROJECTS
LUTHERSTADT WITTENBERG UFERPARK
TEAM: Ulrike Boehm | Cyrus Zahiri | Katja Benfer | Rita Leal | Martina Costanzo
CLIENT: City of Lutherstadt Wittenberg
For the Garden Show 2027, the city of Lutherstadt Wittenberg announced the international competition. The project involves the design of gardens, walks and open lawns around the historic center harmoniously developed into sub-areas, each with its own individuality. In the Uferpark, the park on the riverside, a sturdy tree line protects from traffic routes. Access is via the tunnel and ends in a square to the east. The observation tower is complemented by a pavilion; both are designed as a wooden structure. To the south the trail system develops in hierarchy increasingly towards Elba.
The Großer Anger appears in captivating calm. The trails are attractively laid out through meadows with small breaks and connected to the city center at an emphasized starting point. In the Kleingarten, the existing empty spaces are filled by gardens, an attractive green play and an experimental field leads from the east to the new pavilion, which coherently opens towards the pond with a grand gesture and yet leaves sufficient visual spaces at the edges for visual continuation. The pavilion is also designed in wood with facade cladding and a sawtooth roof shape, the same structural system of all the other pavilions.

INDIPARK BERLIN
TUTORS: Prof. Arch. Ulrike Böhm | Anna Vogels | Camille Regimbart The expression ‘new urban tourism’ describes a new type of tourism: suburbs are becoming increasingly important as spatial reference points. In Berlin, the number of visitors increased by 58 per cent from 2010 to 2018. Here, visitors are concentrated in the three inner districts of Mitte, Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg and Charlottenburg. Most of the tourists who visit Berlin annually decide to visit only for a weekend. Their age ranges from 20-50 years. Many of them practise ‘cultural tourism’. That is why their routes never miss a visit to places like the Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas and the Judisches Museum.
Then there are the Klassisches Tourists that follow the main tourist routes, so they are attracted by Berlin’s night life, special events, food and shopping. But in Berlin, places have been identified that have the potential to become new points of attraction for ‘new urban tours’, including Lichtenberg, southeast Berlin neighborhood. The project aims to answer the following question: How can existing heritage be used and empowered through the creation of new urban tourism? Indipark Berlin intends to answer this question by giving importance to all cultural activities, historical and infrastructure traces in the project area.

PALAZZO CARACCIOLO D’ARENA RESTAURATION
IN COLLABORATION WITH: Vincenzo Pagano | Ludovica Pinto | Yola Faith
TUTORS: Prof. Arch. Renata Picone | Luigi Veronese | Luigi Cappelli
The palace was built in the 15th century and it had many different restoration’s interventions that modified its asset; the most significative changes were made in the 18th century when the royal Napolitan family, Caracciolo D’Arena, bought the palace which was embellished with Rococò decorations in the main facade and the construction of the staircases, that is supposed to be designed by Ferdinando Sanfelice. The palace had a lot of accretions and some consolidation interventions after the second world war, the most significative one in the staircase.
Today the building is in a state of degradation. Project intent is to return the original beauty to the building thinking about consolidation and restoration of the original image making the interventions distinguishable. The two concrete pillars sustaining as oppressing the arches of the staircase are erased through reinforcing all the vaulted structures of the middle floors with carbon fibers. The facade, presenting detachment of the plaster and the colour, is repristinated in its “paraste” layer both in the reconstitution of the plaster leaving slightly visible the sign of time, registering its history.

EXTENSION SECESSION WIEN
TUTORS: Prof. Arch. Ferruccio Izzo | Alberto Calderoni | Marianna Ascolese | Vanna Cestarello | Lorenzo Giordano The project involves the expansion of the Vienna Secession Palace, built between 1897 and 1898 by Joseph Maria Olbrich. Olbrich’s idea derives from a drawing by Gustav Klimt, which included a cubic construction surmounted by a pediment similar to that of a temple. Olbrich elaborated the plan starting from a simple square on which the volume develops, composed of smooth and almost unadorned walls in which doors and windows are inserted, which open with sharp and decisive cuts without frames or moldings.
The extension project was desired by “Friends of the Secession” Association. The connection to the Secession is made from the basement, reserved for service and archive spaces, and then branches off into two different buildings: the first, lower, elevates itself as an exhibition space, simplifying the forms of the Secession building; the second, higher, contains administrative and laboratory functions, can be crossed by its transparent skin and stands between the Secession building and the large academy complex, to which the Secession in history gave its back.
