INTRO

Im Sommersemester 2019 konnte das Institut für Gebäudelehre erneut Gastprofessoren begrüßen, die diskursbestimmende Positionen innerhalb des europäischen Architekturnachwuchses einnehmen. Nach Job Floris (Monadnock), Markus Penell (Ortner & Ortner Baukunst), Kersten Geers (Office KGDVS), Andrea Zanderigo (Baukuh) und Christian Müller Inderbitzin (Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architekten) waren es nun Jaume Mayol und Irène Pérez vom mallorquinischen Büro TEd’A Arquitectes, die gemeinsam mit Andreas Lechner das dieser Dokumentation zugrundeliegende Entwurfsstudio im Masterstudium leiteten.

weitergebaut wurden. Das umsichtige und behutsame Verwenden von vorhandenen Ressourcen, der möglichst umfassende Rückgriff auf lokale Materialien, handwerkliche Verfahren und Konstruktionsweisen, die grundlegend und identitätsbildend in der Gestaltung verankert werden, sowie höchste Aufmerksamkeit auf die zeichnerische Detaillierung und erzählerische Ausarbeitung der Entwürfe, waren dabei die charakteristischen Schwerpunkte, für die auch die Bauten und Projekte von TEd’A Architekten internationale Anerkennung erfahren. Die Relevanz ihrer „kritischregionalistischen“ Position belegte das 2010 gegründete Büro des Architektenpaares mit der 2018 erschienene Ausgabe von El Croquis, der international renommiertesten Zeitschrift für Architektur und Städtebau, eindrücklich (#196II).

Bearbeitet wurde in diesem Semester das aufgelassene Kasernengelände Son Busquets in Palma de Mallorca, dessen Bestandsbauten in 15 Studierendenentwürfen zu einem zukunftsfähigen Stadtquartier mit über 800 Wohneinheiten transformiert, um- und 7

TEd’A Architekten entwickeln ihre Architektur „territorial“ – aus den Elementen, Materialien, Fügungs-, Konstruktions- und Bauweisen eines Ortes, beschränken diesen Zugang aber nicht auf Mallorca bzw. mediterrane Typologien. Mit einem Schulbau für das westschweizerische Dorf Orsonnens in der Nähe Fribourgs greifen sie in Form und Bauweise deutlich auf die traditionelle Architektur der Region zurück – „Grangécole“ bzw. Scheunenschule nennen TEd’A arquitectes ihren an vernakularer Architektur orientierten Entwurf entsprechend. Eine alpenländische Scheunenkonstruktion, die sich selbstverständlich in die umgebende Landschaft und den Dorfcharakter einfügt. Die Strenge und Einprägsamkeit ihres exponierten Schulkubus lockern sie mit Ornamenten, dunklen Holzschindeln, Kupferelementen und Beton in Richtung einer spielerischen Heiterkeit wieder auf.

TEd’A architectes verfolgen in ihrer Gestaltung die „präzise Ungenauigkeit“ handwerklicher Prozesse, die aus ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit örtlichen Stoffwechselund Materialkreisläufen ebenso herrühren, wie sie ornamentale Überschüsse und formale Vielschichtigkeit provozieren. Architektur kann das in baulicher aber auch infrastruktureller und landwirtschaftlicher Form gebundene und tradierte Wissen auch heute noch anzapfen und weiterbauen – ohne ökoromantischen Kitsch oder naiver Provinzbegeisterung. Dass die „neuen“ zugleich die „alten“ Formen sind, dass Typen und Materialien darauf warten, von uns immer wieder auf’s Neue (wieder)entdeckt, transformiert und weitergedacht zu werden, belegt vielleicht kein anderes Bauwerk so eindrucksvoll, wie das berühmte Ferienhaus Can Lis von Jörn Utzon, das er Anfang der 1970er Jahre zur Gänze aus dem sandfarbenem Marés-Stein Mallorcas auf 9

einer Felsklippe im Südosten der Insel errichtete. Hier war eine wichtige Station im Sommersemester, nicht nur aufgrund der magisch eingefangenen Präsenz der Natur und des atemberaubenden Blicks auf’s Meer, sondern auch weil alle Bestandsbauten der Entwurfsaufgabe aus diesem Marés-Stein errichtet wurden und die Eindrücklichkeit der Um- und Verwandlung dieses Material in ein architektonisches Meisterwerk an diesem Exkursionsnachmittag so offen, karg, einfach und dennoch unergründlich erfahrbar wurde – Foto links.

Natürlich ist Can Lis ist nicht nur für TEd’A Architekten und viele ihrer befreundeten mallorquinischen Architekturbüros eine zentrale Referenz, wenn es um die die Entdeckung und Wiederentdeckung lokaler Ressourcen, Techniken, Traditionen und Besonderheiten der Balearen geht. Can Lis weist darauf hin, dass es kein „Regionales“ ohne Blick von außen geben kann – immer wieder aufs Neue.

“The peculiarity of the Mediterranean’s position and homogeneity of its space make it seem a world in and of itself or the center of the world. It is a sea surrounded by land or a land by a sea? The sun that rises in its skies and shines down upon it seems there for it and it alone; it seems to belong to it. The openess and transparency of the sky produce mystic states and fear of the other world. The Mediterranean has raised monuments to faith and superstition, magnanimity and vanity.” Mediterranean: A Cultural Landscape. Predrag Matvejevic Abraham and Jefudà Cresques - Catalan Atlas (1375)

Mallorca is the largest island in the Balearic Islands, which are located in the Mediterranean Sea. Mallorca has an area of 3,640.11 km2 and a population of 859,289 inhabitants. The first human settlement in Mallorca dates back to the year 2300 BC and it has been under the influence of Punic, Roman, Muslim, Catalan and Spanish civilisations. Juan de Aguirre Mallorca (18th century) Nowadays the main economic activitymap is of tourism. The island is an extremely popular holiday destination, specially in the summer season because of its wheather and natural beaches. In 2018, 16.596.194 tourists visited Mallorca, particularly from Germany and the United Kingdom.

Palma is the capital and largest city of the Balearic Islands. It is situated on the south coast of Mallorca on the Bay of Palma. Palma has an area of 208,63 km2 and a population of 409.661 inhabitants. G. Alomar. Primitive settlement and two firs city walls. Palma was founded as a Roman camp upon the remains of a Talaiotic settlement. The city was subjected to several Vandal raids during the fall of the Western Roman Empire, then reconquered by the Byzantine Empire, then colonised by the Moors (who called it Medina Mayurqa) and, in the 13th century, by James I of Aragon (who called it Ciutat de Mallorca). In 1714 as a result of the end of the War of the Spanish Succession, with the Nueva Planta decrees, the city took again Palma as the official city name. Since the advent of mass tourism in the 1950s, the city has been transformed into a tourist destination and has attracted many workers from mainland Spain. More than half of the population works in tourism, approximately 80%, therefore being the main economic portal of Palma. Tourism has affected the rapid economic and urban growth of Palma.

Son Busquets is an old military settlement located in the north part of the city of Palma. It was build between 1949 and 1954 and it was in use until 2000. During its 46 years of existence, Son Busquets has come together to bring together up to 1.200 soldiers during their most active years. Palma. Son Busquets Nowadays this enclosed area remains abandoned and for sale. It has become an space of opportunity for the city.

The enclosed space includes 110.865 m2 and a total built area of 27.743 m2 which includes several buildings that are in different conservation status. In the complex is composed of sixteen single-storey hangars arranged east-west and another 18 smaller ones, in the north-south layout as well as other isolated constructions. Facing the Valldemossa road, there are three more buildings that housed the old dwellings. In addition, there is a large amount of vegetation and trees that have grown during all years of abandonment.

MARÉS The marés sandstone has traditionally been the most representative and characteristic building stone in Mallorca, used practically exclusively as construction material for centuries. Such emblematic buildings for the island, as Bellver Castle, the Cathedral, La Lonja or the old city walls of Palma, bear witness to this. In Mallorca, the marés sandstone is quarried in the open air or in subterranean galleries. Vernacular architecture has always used the most accessible appropriate materials, and in the case of the marés, its abundance, sufficient softness, which facilitates its extraction, together with sufficient hardness to confer solidity and durability in constructions, converge. The lack of specific scientific and geological data published about the different types of mares in Mallorca, added to the recent resurgence of technical, applied and landscape interest in this stone, have made a revision of its definition, characterization and classification necessary. The main differential features that characterize marés are: 1. It’s a calcarenite. It is a sedimentary rock of a calcareous detrital nature, more or less consolidated,composed of more than 50% of calcareous elements (bioclasts, oolites, lithoclasts, etc.) pertaining tothe sand fraction, with a grain size of between 2 and 1/16 mm, agglutinated by cement. 2. Easy to work. It’s characterized by its ease of extraction, cutting and adaptability to the shapes needed for different uses. 3. Used as a construction material. Its intrinsic characteristics such as ease of cutting allow suitable pieces to be extracted, which gives place to diverse varieties and sizes appreciated for different uses. 4. It’s an abundant natural stone in Mallorca and the rest of the Balearic Islands. Its large undergroundconcentration and availability explains its systematic use in construction in the islands.

MARÉS The marés sandstone is a stone of the Balearic Islands which is extracted in blocks of 40x40x80cm and it is very useful for the execution of walls and vaults. And you can also obtain blocks of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40cm thick, always 40x80cm. Their characteristics depend on their origin which can be calcarenite (cemented sand grains with calcium from mollusks shells) or eolianite (sedimented sand) and therefore each quarry has very different properties with resistances which vary between 25 and 630Kg/cm².

BRICKS AND CERAMIC TILES MANUFACTURERS To apply the traditional thought of “what do we have, and what can we do with the things we have”, we would like to work with local resources, in order to reduce the CO2 emissions and at the same time to reinforce the local craftsmen net. Since the Neolithic age, ceramics have been part of the mallorcan history and its invention was an important and revolutionary change that improved the quality of life of our ancestors. Our ancient cultures (Talayotic, Roman and Islamic) left their imprint on the evolution of ceramics in the Balearic Islands by introducing new shapes that have survived until the present. In Mallorca there are several bricks and ceramic tiles manufacturers. Mainly in Vilafranca and Felanitx. Some of them use biomass mortar kilns to fire the pieces. Soler is a ceramic tile manufacturer in Felanitx that still work with an strong sense of craftsmanship, making and glazing the tiles one by one. In Vilafranca is where you can find Can Mascaró a brick factory. Ceramic has been a tradicional local material during centuries in Mallorca.

HYDRAULIC TILE MANUFACTURER Huguet Rajoles Hidrauliques SL has emerged out of the company founded in Campos in 1933 by Gabriel Huguet Vanrell. Right from the beginnning the company manufactured the hydraulic tiles typical of that time. Floor and decorative cast tiles and Marbline (marble dust slab) products such as kitchen tops and sinks, stairs, and others. Hydraulic cement tiles appeared in Catalonia in the 1850s. They are mostly known throughout the world as encaustic cement tiles. They took the name from the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;encausticâ&#x20AC;? which is used for metal enameling that uses a type of lost wax procedure. They have this name because of the intricate patterns and designs that mimic the encaustic enameling process. Hydraulic cement tiles are not fired, there is no glaze layer on the surface of the tile. They derive their durability from the combination of finely dehydrated ground Portland cement layer and the more coarse layer of sand and cement. The pigment layer is hydraulically pressed into the surface and becomes a part of the tile. Cement tiles are made by hand, one at a time, using mineral pigments, cement, a mold, and an hydraulic press. The metal mold is handmade following specific design drawings. The pigment composition is a mixture of high quality white porland cement, marble powder, fine sand and natural mineral colour pigments. Cement tiles being handmade are expected to have slight imperfection, which give them character.

OTHER LOCAL CRAFTSMEN All around the island we still can find an important net of craftsmen that still know how to work using and updating the traditional techniques. We will find small carpenters ateliers all along Mallorca. Also craftsmen working with clay in Felanitx and pottery mainly in Pòrtol. Craftsmen that work with textiles, it’s very popular the roba de llengües, in Pollença, Santa Maria or Lloseta. Craftsmen working with blown glass technique in Algadia and Campanet. Craftsmen doing llatra with palmetto plant in the east of the island. An strong list of shoemakers around Inca working with leather. Tradition always work from common sense. And, all around the world, tradition has a wide range of solutions, depending on the conditions and resources of each place. Tradition works by repetition. Identity comes rom the latin work “idem”, “the same”, “repeated”. The identity of a place is created by repetition. That’s how tradition and craftsmen work: repeating and perfecting. Try to work in continuity with tradition. Try to prefer evolution to revolution. Traditional architecture is a matter of resources: what do I have? and what can I do with the things I have. Traditional architecture is not a matter of buildings, but a matter of ecosystems. Traditional architecture consists in a completely efficient respons using local resources.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dialogue in architecture is most felt in the scale of the detail. Dialogue is in essence about the moment when two - or more - elements meet. One could also say: the moment when two or more time periods - old and new for example - come together. It is this moment that is somehow celebrated and have reci procal affinity likewise to the successive texts of palimpsest that need each other.â&#x20AC;&#x153;

â&#x20AC;&#x17E;It is not about creating a palimpsestuous aesthetic but to recognize its philosophy: a sensitive attitude towards dealing with the past, present and future. The palimpsest is about a delicate layering of the different stages of being through time: both as material and immaterial.â&#x20AC;&#x153;

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gesture of not touching also creates a sort of delay and therefore emphasizes the notion of time. The gap which in fact is immaterial, establishes layers. It allows for things to breath and creates a gesture of making something loose from something else.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x17E;...one can read a palimpsest on various scale levels. The one that is considerably important is the scale of the detail. In fact, on this level everything comes together. Regarding materiality, detailing is fundamental in order to experience spaces. Materials can speak, bear traces, indicate changes in time and trigger our memory.â&#x20AC;&#x153;

â&#x20AC;&#x17E;Architecture is a kind of corporal time machine where the past, the present, and the future are related architecturally through memory.â&#x20AC;&#x153;
