Vacant real estate are for a various reasons not used and are a growing problem in urban and rural areas. Redundant for their actual or original function, these places do still have a high potential for short-term, flexible and adjusted usage and revitalisation. A t the same time, a clear trend of a growing mass of start-ups and innovative, creative organisations searching for affordable work-spaces and independence, is visible.

Between the available and

needed space there is however a clear discrepancy. Despite the growing vacancy, there is a shortage of access in this sphere. Based on the project Das Packhaus (Marxergasse 24/2, 1030 Wien), temporary use was not only experimented with, but also its potentials and possibilities were researched and documented.

Vacant real estate and left over spaces are unused for various reasons and become more evident in times of economic crisis. They are a rising problem for urban and rural atmosphere, however often unnoticed and ignored. in Vienna, the percentage of vacancy is estimated above European average. An exact amount is unknown, as there is no obligation to report a vacant property or plot and regulations are lacking, unlike in some other European cities.

The city, inclined to traditional values, is in need of spaces where innovative ideas can be generated and talent can ex-

pand and attracted, not in the last place to outbalance its somehow conservative image that is clearly mirrored in the public space.

Management of vacant properties is hard for real estate companies, since it isn’t economically feasible, and they aren’t used to very rapid procedures, as properties might need to be split up, which cost to much administrational work, but also because they are often not in touch with the right target groups who have demands and needs that are unfamiliar to most real estate and private owners.

in recent years, the concept of temporary use has spread in major cities: real estate owners offer buildings or space within buildings for temporary use by community projects. “Temporary� typically means a span of less than two years. This relatively short span of time puts high pressure on the organizers of the temporary use. As it is a relatively new concept, there are no well-established best practices on how to set up and execute such a project. if a set of patterns were available for contracts, operation and coordination, web presence, call for participation and the like, the time such an object can actually be used could be raised dramatically compared with the current state while cutting down on costs.

Participants in spaces for temporary use are often recruited

among young artists, artisans, technologists on the verge of entering the creative industries. With limited budget but much time and energy, such a space can spark all sorts of unexpected collaboration, and creates an atmosphere where helping each other out with everyday problems is the norm rather than the exception.

Across Europe, developers and entrepreneurial citizens adopt a comprehensive, holistic approach to development, which yields results for different stakeholders that cannot be expressed in terms of money alone. This approach to development views value creation not just in terms of proceeds or returns, but also in terms of health, safety, comfort, liveability, or even happiness.

11

Owners of vacant spaces often do not have the time, motivation or are not responsible to use their properties in an efficient way. On the other side, potential users of such spaces often do not have an access to the available / unused spaces to use for their activities. Temporary use stands high on the political agenda. Vacancy as a harmful consequence of the economy and of the urban image and temporary use as a breeding place for social developments should enrich each other. The momentum is here. Where in a crisis human talents and physical spaces are not used, temporary use can transform these two losses into capitals: cultural, social, spatial and economical.

However, the reality shows us something different: vacancy and its needed temporary use

is not yet an established reality.

We experience a growing need for new ways of working and working spaces with a collaborative aspect. The temporary feature adds an attractive, lively ‘cool factor’ to the new, transformed use of a property. Projects offer a collective benefit with a social impact, improve the neighbourhood, offering space for social activities or local entrepreneurs.

This handbook is an outcome of the first two years of Paradock’s project Das Packhaus.

At the same time, the aim is also to investigate the value being created and accumulated within the transformed and temporarily used building.

“Though co-production and coinvesting, new values and possibilities for participation are created, leading to a sustainable city. “ Buttenberg, Overmeyer, Spars (2014, p. 5) We argue that when programmed well, vacant spaces generate accumulated values (both economic, professional and social) and act as incubators of social action; community builders, strengthening the social ties between its users. The aim of this research is

14

to contribute with the gained know-how on urban vacancy and its management to the local municipality, real estate owners and the topic-interested general public.

At the same time it provide advice and tips for the local government, real estate owners and potential ‘Zwischennutzer’ (temporary user) on developing temporary use strategies for the unused urban resources.

in „Das Packhaus / Stadt-up“ Paradocks is researching the potential of unused properties and how the experience and know-how of a temporary use project can create a new basis for awareness. Vienna’s largest temporary use building “Das Packhaus” has been open since April 2014. After 8 years of standing empty and unused, the former federal Computing Centre (Bundesrechnungszentrum) in the 3rd district of Vienna, defines with its individual working

the bUilDing

spaces a new place for freelancers and creative enterprises. The 8-floor building from the 1970s has been revitalised and offers spaces for ideas, inspiration and networking. it’s a space for encounter and exchange, a place for creative work and production, where micro-economies are initiated and cooperations stimulated.

Over 250 individuals / 78 enterprises in various branches co-create Das Packhaus thorough the new use of the lost spatial potential.

We strive for a more open city, where citizens are given the platform not only to build and co-create the existing urban structure of their city, but also to develop and apply their talents. An open city equates an open system where new cooperations emerge (for instance municipality and citizen), where citizens are included and empowered to build their city, where the meaning of ownership shifts from having to using.

Reuse of formerly vacant buildings with a new function and programming are economically and socially sustainable. firstly, built urban resources are efficiently used, forming a breeding space for start-ups and local entrepre-

impact

neurs, secondly a collective social benefit, improving the neighbourhood, creating spaces for social activities.

The project offers a collective benefit with a social impact, improve the neighbourhood, offering space for social activities or local entrepreneurs.

The effect is a win-win-win situation for the owner: building is not losing its value (operational costs are covered) is maintained and controlled; for the city: co-creating and empowering its economic, social and cultural capital, leading to an innovative, attractive and cooperative city; and for the ‘user’ - offering platform that enables and stimulates economic growth and development of social and professional networks.

The question which we are asking ourselves is: “What kind of values have been produced within Das Packhaus?�

Value should here be understood in a broad sense, e.g. materials, economical surplus, knowledge, goods, network, innovations etc. We are not interested in listing the profits as such, but to question the accumulated values (both economic, professional and social) that is being produced within the building. Many of the users are start-ups, artists, scientists or work in the creative industries, and therefore do not have monetary surplus or profit as their main goal.

what’S the valUe?

17

Paradocks has developed a flexible and multi-functional usage of the building where various range of programming where creatives from similar fields are encouraged to network or ignite collaborations. A formation of microclusters of knowledge- and skill transfers is encouraged. in the ground floor of Das Packhaus, additional common and shared spaces are offered, which offer a possibility for discussion, networking, cooperations and presenting.

Workshops, meeting- and presentation spaces function for the house, but also provide a contact point to the outside. As a bonus, a diverse exchange between users, the local surroundings and the municipality has been initiated, including offering a cultural programme for the city.

in collaboration with Stephanie Touveneau Petersen, part of this project has been to research Das Packhaus users in order to improve the project, ‘step-back’ and reflect on the actual use of the spaces in the building, to collect experiences and insights about the use and the users. The scientific research has been done by collecting data, gathering information, interviewing, analysing and thus creating insights regarding the use and users of the project. The research questions were twofold. firstly investigating the use of spaces (office and common spaces) and exploring the value that has been created.

With relation to the use of the building, Petersen looked into the physical barriers, borders and boundaries. “... the high-rise structure of the building set certain limitations in the overall sensation and immediate impression of not only the whole project (scale and impact) but also the individual parts (use, users and atmosphere). The

This somehow creates borders that are not only physical, but also limits the social interactions, connections and informal meetings. The main staircase is controlled by the property management company and it is therefore (more or less) of limit for (creative) expression for Paradocks as well as the users.” (p.9, Petersen, 2015) Petersen used both qualitative and quantitative data in forms of 32 anonymous questionnaires and 7 in-depth interviews with the users of Das

The research gathered a number of (subjective and personal) statements from the users, crucial for further development:

“Many personal contacts (not necessarily networking) but a ‘getting out of the solitude of self-employment’”, “general sense of community”, “Amalgamation of people working in creative and/or

“Satisfied - it’s cheap and a direct communication with the Packhaus team is possible!”

The most common incentive or reason to choose Das Packhaus as a working place is the rental price (17 respondents), its location (10 respondents), other people / networking/ community (9 respondents) nice office and freedom within it (8 respondents), barrierfree and easy-to-use spaces, separated office and shared space (6 respondents), good infrastructure/all-inclusive service included in rent (5 respondents), good service by the Paradocks team 4 and 3 respondents chose their office in Das Packhaus because they liked the idea and the project.

Some quotes to the incentives of Das Packhaus:

“accessibilit y, synergy, visabil-

USe of anD contRibUtion to the common SpaceS

26 ity.”, “Location, costs, resourses.”, “I liked the idea, I had friends who already used it, it was +/- cheap”, “Affordable, all-inclusive operating expenses, freedom to design your room”, “location, social, price”, “Being with people, interesting project, money reasons”,“Price, Idea, location”, “Silent, good place to work and concentrate, meet like-minded people who

work in similar fields”, “Price, amalgamation of people working in creative and / or social fields, common and social space”, “Cheap office/ needed place to concentrate / good location” One of the outcomes we thrived for we spontaneous cooperations between the users, an exchange of not only goods but also skills within the building. Our interviews and research proves it with a number of various examples. for instance a designer producing luxry leather accesories collaborating on a children book with another user from her floor. Another user has “cooperated with other users outside her own field for small projects that she can not make herself as

peRceptionS of tempoRaRy USe

27 for example technical support for a homepage, photography or a drawing job.” (Petersen, p. 37). There are also a number of implicit cooperations in the house. for a lot of the users innovation is essential to their business and are on a constant search for new ideas, new thinking patterns and inspirations. Just the “simple fact of being around creative and different people is a source for inspiration, whether it is through informal chit chat in the hallways or casual encounters in the groundfloor.” Other users describe cooperations as ‘indirect‘, for instance through an informal format of feedback to/from other users.

All users in the building have a sharing part in the ground floor, using it for meetings, presentations, film-screenings, exhibitions, workshops and so on. The ground floor of the building thus functions as an add on for the studios, but also acts as and represents an extension of the public space.

Social gatherings/ Meetings in meeting rooms / Meetings

28 in common space / Work / After work activities / Coffee / Workshop / Leisure/ Activities in Movement space / Bike kitchen / Other Out of 52 respondents, 15 said they use the common spaces for having a coffee, 8 for social gatherings, 11 for meetings, 6 visit the bike kitchen, 3 use it for work, 3 for leisure, 3 for the workshop, 2 for the movement space and 1 for after hour activities.

The selected statements to the use of the common spaces in the groundfloor of Das Packhaus:

“i thought we would use it more often and do things there”, “packhaus users events and perhaps workshops”, “Meeting place”, “mu-

sic, gatherings, presentations, relax area”, “i expected more a active life downstairs”, “Community networking”, “a general place to socialize/meet with clients” On the other hand, most of the users expressed their way of contribution to the ground floor of Das Packhaus mostly by simpy ‘being there‘ and using the spaces. However a large number has expressed no contribution but not knowing how to, or not feeling welcome to do so. The issue of the usage of the groundfloor is further described under the handbook-point ‘failure‘ on page ...

“we’re going to organise com-

29 munity events “Not there”, much/nothing” , “have not yet”, “Still have to discover that floor”, “We had one event there. Else there was no contribution from my side” An interesting observation has been made regarding the perception of temporary use by the users of Das Packhaus.

Most of them expressed a positive attitude towards the temporariness of the project.

“change is a chance for innovation - no change, no chance”.

inspired by Bourdieu’s notion of different capitals, namely social, cultural and economical, this study has investigated what kind of different profits has been produced within DAS PACKHAUS. Based on the interviews with its users, DAS PACKHAUS is seen as a knowledge-producing entity, where knowledge, materials, resources, skills are shared and exchanged. Besides, the temporary side of the project is seen both positively and negatively when it comes to creating values. On one hand temporality enhance expansion due to its fluctuation and flexibility, on the other hand it correlates with improvised infrastructural solutions, time limitations, hesitation to invest in spaces or insecurity.

conclUSion & RecommenDationS

30

Vacancy is apparent but a good system to hand spaces over lacks. it is time investment and involves a great deal of insecurity that are not simply spirited off by a ‘Prekarium’. it will take time to gain trust, reduce fear and fight it with strong and positive examples of temporary use. Penalties from local government seem to work counterproductive, yet remunerations in the form of for instance tax advantage might have positive effects. Paradocks estimates a system of Social Corporate Responsibility valuable in regard to real estate owners and vacancy.

With this handbook we hope to stimulate more people to use vacant buildings and plots and try to show how a

31

high potential of temporary use can be reached. We strive to get temporary use off the grey area and set examples of how a project could be organized. first of all to encourage others to be interested in temporary use but also to fight fear and prejudices from the side of house owners, real estate as well as the municipality.

Reuse of formerly vacant buildings with a new function and programming are economically and socially sustainable. firstly, built urban resources are efficiently used, forming a breeding space for start-ups and local entrepreneurs, secondly a collective benefit with a social impact, activating the neighbourhood, creating spaces for so-

cial activities. The effect is a win-win-win situation for the owner: building is not losing its value (operational costs are covered) is maintained and controlled; for the city: co-creating and empowering its economic, social and cultural capital, leading to an innovative, attractive and cooperative city; and for the ‘user’ - offering platform that enables and stimulates economic growth and development of social and professional networks.

Stadt-up is a part of Paradocks’ think-tank and shines light on different persons, initiatives, groups or projects every wednesday by giving them the floor.

An unorthodox view or approach and a clear focus on a better city are enough to hold the stage. Moreover, projects should be in the starting phase stage and of course be unique.

Questions will guide the interview and so present the project.

Stadt-up is an international format and gives the opportunity for the public to learn about projects or persons working in the field of temporary use.

p: what is your link to temp orary use?

ASV: As an architect and urbanist, i use it as a planning tool. in the context of the office where i work, we often opt for temporary use within planning processes for public spaces or buildings to inform and engage the inhabitants of neighbourhoods involved, show possibilities of a specific area, initiate claims... while the process is ongoing. As a part of the 'We kopen samen den Oudaan' collective, a different story. When the city of Antwerp in 2015 decided to sell off a landmark building protected as heritage within the city centre of Antwerp, the collective launched a call to cooperatively buy the Oudaan. Temporary use as an eventual result was something we decided wasn't really of use to us, as we had to buy the building (because of the bidding procedure), plus we wanted to (as) permanently (as possible) get the building off the commercial market, as to secure working area for social and creative industries that are now being pushed out of the increasingly commercialised city centre. Temporary use while renovating the building was discussed as an option. Again in the context of creating engagement and setting up a community.

anne-Sofie verheyen | wkSDo | antwerp

43 p: when did you first encounter temporary use?

ASV: Maybe earlier but unaware, but the first time actually aware of it as an architect student in Leuven. in the first master year, the students take it upon themselves to organise activities for the other architecture students and bring them together (kind of like a fraternity but different in organisation). The organisation, ran by different students every year, is called Existenz. The activities span lectures, workshops, bar nights, parties,... throughout the year. One week of the year, an abandoned building within the city of Leuven is opened for an entire dense week of activities. The building is previously 'pimped' by the students. Competition between the years is very high, so it's really a kind of honor thing to do as extended a temporary renovation as possible. The entire program is mainly self-sufficient, profits from parties and such being used to buy materials for the renovations, as well as receiving some funding from the university and commercial building product firms. (as there is also a quarterly magazine in which they can put adds). it has been running for years.

The building we occupied was to be torn down within weeks of our 'Existenz week'.

p: what is temporary use for you?

ASV: it can show the possibilities of a site or start a conversation and bring together stake holders. i most often come across it as something that is there whilst awaiting ownership or full claim as a final result. i would like to know more about how it functions when this is not the case or uncertain. As a student it played a very valuable role in our education. + the buildings used where often owned by the university, and destined to be torn down, so the added value was more in the activities going on in the building and the bringing together of students then in added real estate value. Although i do remember one year the temporary use of a specific building showcasing the buildings features and possibilities to the extent the chair and some professors of the department of architecture

“[temporary use] can show the possibilities of a site or start a conversation and bring together stake holders.�

that visited actually considering moving the department there. i think a dossier for this was made, but in the end for reasons i don't quite remember it didn't happen. Looking at it from the perspective as a 'city maker' now, i feel it is then often seen as problematic with regards to capturing profit for the parties initiating it, and not just for the owner of the building. Thinking about it now, i feel like i never quite dived in enough to form a definition for myself or straightforward opinion about it. p: what kind of profit is created?

ASV: i'm interpreting profit here as actual financial profit, not as 'value': Within planning processes: engagement and positive view throughout the process reduces time lost in complications and it helps the project succeed in independent initiatives: short term, i quess a business could be run. Long term, not sure. depending on how and what, money could be raised during events to fund longer-term investments? i lot of the gains are in terms of 'value' i think. The difficulty is of course how to capture this so you can use it again. p: what is needed in your opinion?

ASV: As someone using it as a

planning tool within a service context: better knowledge of the toolbox and understanding of pitfalls plus creativity. As someone putting time and effort into temporary use: clear commitments with the owner from the start in terms of sharing in the added value. Maybe some kind of information platform for peer-te-peer learning. initiatives starting with the best of intentions seem to face over time the same difficulties plus with temporary use already being somewhat claimed by and incorporated in economic value creation.... i heard a lecture by Enrico Gualini where he stated to be critical to temporary use was capitalised upon.

Not entirely sure i understood completely right but he hinted it was starting to be used as a 'function' (for example at Tempelhofer feld in Berlin) by developers to create a kind of 'image' for the site. you could apply to do your own temporary use, within the bigger scheme envisioned by the project developer. p: first word that comes to your mind hearing ‘Real estate‘: ASV: A-tower in Antwerp (an office tower is Antwerp that is currently being temporary used. The building is owned by project developer Matexi. They

anne-Sofie verheyen | wkSDo | antwerp

45 decided to, while waiting for building permits for expensive appartments to come through, give room to temporary use. The program is quite a bit contested, the temporary use was chosen by asking for applications of collectives in a kind of formal procedure and concerns have been raised about the project developer using this 'hip function' and 'giving to the city' to boost their public image while cashing on the added value and visibility the temporary use is creating. Not that win-win situations would be a problem, but this wins seemed out of balance. On the other hand the place was super popular over the summer, you could enjoy the view over the city from the club on the 22th floor and a lot of interesting thing were happening there.) aboUt ‘we kopen samen den oudaan’ collective, is comprising a number of young professionals and engaged citizens, launched a call to cooperatively buy the Oudaan, a landmark building within the city centre of Antwerp.

The Oudaan building was designed by Renaat Braem within a very utopic plan for the redevelopment of the civic core of

46 Antwerp after WWii, and is protected as modernistic heritage.

Recently the city decided sell the building off to the highest bidder within a closed bidding procedure.

The collective does not see this as an endpoint. As evidenced by the publicity and support

anne-Sofie verheyen | wkSDo | antwerp

The collective saw the sale as on opportunity to revive the utopian plans of the architect and to open not only the building but the entire centrally located site back up to the public. At the same time it presented a prime occasion to ignite a debate on the subject of these kinds of closed procedures and the classical development strategies they support. The collective went on to develop an alternative model with the help of a growing network of experts and stake-holders, aspiring to keep conventional real estate development from turning this into the next high-profit project. This model assured a competitive offer on the building. The city however chose to follow through on the original procedure and sold the building to the highest bidder on September 6th 2016, for 2.5 times the original asking price. The future of the building is as of yet unclear.

‘We Kopen Samen den Oudaan’ got throughout the process, from the public as well as the different relevant fields and academia, the issues raised are very relevant. The challenge to search for more public forms of development uncovers some fundamental and structural questions, making the subject of investigation broader than just this specific building.

LP: i have been involved in many projects to reuse vacant buildings: in 2004, with a group of architects, theatre and dance professionals, we began to work on turning an abandoned factors building into a cultural centre. in 2006 with another group of architects, artists and journalists, we launched the KÉK - Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre in an abandoned warehouse. We used the building for 2 years. in 2006-07, when editing the magazine Die Planung, we worked in impex, and art initiative that received two floors in a building before demolition, above a club. in 2008, with KÉK, we managed a 6,000 m2 office building for 8 months, until its planned demolition in December 2008. After we left the building, the crisis hit the project and the building was never demolished. in 2012, with KÉK we began to elaborate a structured mechanism for community initiatives and citizen projects and social enterprises to access publicly and privately owned spaces.

We ran the Lakatlan program for 4 years, during which we helped many small initiatives to access spaces: we created 10 permanent and 25 temporary spaces. in 2013, with Eutropian, we began working on creating a simi-

“... many public administrations are completely unaware of the opportunities of temporary use and don’t engage in the process of connecting initiatives with available spaces. “ p: what are currently - according to you - the biggest challenges?

LP: in most cities creating streamlined mechanisms for temporary use depends largely on the support of the public sector as property owner, mediator, guarantor, regulator or stimulator - with lacking capacities, sensibilities and insights, as well as missing trust and experiences of publiccivic cooperation, many public administrations are completely unaware of the opportunities of temporary use and don't engage in the process of connecting initiatives with available spaces. p: what kind of profit / value is created by temporary use, according to you?

levente polyák | eUtRopian | budapest / Rome

48 LP: Temporary use creates profit at the owner's side (maintenance and reduction of costs, increasing value of the building), values at the users' side (affordable and accessible space, unique spatial conditions, synergies, visibility) and benefits at the local community's side (new services, more visitors, improved local economy). p: in your opinion, how does temp use look in 2050?

LP: Like now, very diverse sometimes exploited by real estate agencies and instrumentalised by municipalities, in other cases it opens opportunities for small initiatives and creates values for local communities. And most often it's a combination of all this. Perhaps accelerated by more integrated apps and digital platforms but also potentially hindered by the complete financialisation of urban real estate stocks. aboUt: eutropian is a planning, policy and research organisation helping urban regeneration processes.

p: what is your link to temporary use of urban resources?

RM: We are looking for a temporary place or context of inspiration, new use and new ways of interaction in a context that we thought we knew already very well. We are looking for a place which can have a symbolical function for people and can function as a place of (shared) identity. And also because it’s temporarily we don’t need to think about more complicated issues that we should actually maybe think a bit more about. When we’re older. We tried to think about placemaking in this way in the context of OurHouse2015 and now for Lähiofest2017.

DB: We did a project, that turned out to be temporary, indeed! it was full of genuine professional and personal curiousness and ambition for interdisciplinary and crossectoral collaboration, motivated by love for the city, community and a belief that we can make a positive change if we help transform a vacant unused public property into a meaningful place, where people will be able to encouter difference, responsibility and togetherness. p: when did you first encounter temporary use?

Then, in the second season, i already had a different full-time, paid job, that wasn’t so flexible. So i went to work for some 8 (or more hours) and from there i went directly to the urban garden to meet the community, to work on the project. it was quite tiring.

p: what positively surprised you?

within your project related to temporary use?

DB: That it ended prematurely.

We didn’t think about the project as a “temporary use”.

We hoped it will develop, grow and engage even more people.

We realised only later, that the partner (owner of the premises) never saw us as long-term partners, and that they not sure if consciously or unconsciously exploited our volunteer power, goodwill and good atmosphere that we created around the place, for the marketing purposes, to build their public image.

The internal conflicts about who and how should manage and direct the project or even how the place should look like lead to cancellation of collaboration contract.

DB: That the project actually happened, despite all the circumstances and difficulties., that some of the goals were met and it was publicly a success. it was an experiment and now it serves as a case study – we hope others can learn from what happended, what was good and what went wrong.

DB: Temporary use can experiment in a way which is impossible for a „standard“ urban develoment projects, they are a testing ground, a place where you can set the rules differently than everywhere else – it generates innovative ideas and methods that can be applied, multiplied, marketed. Temporary use is done by people who seek for realising their visions „right now“ and at the same time act as magnets for more people of that kind - so the value they create i think could be framed as networking access to free creativity and experimentation, which only happens under

specific circumstance, this value could maybe be called „creative momentum“. Temporary use also generates new kinds of partnerships, new connections – on the organizational level (connecting institutions, organizatios, initiatives...), Professional level, as they often make professionals of various disciplines meet and collaborate, but also, very importantly, on a human level, bringing together people of diverse backgrounds, needs and skills to be part of a shared challenge – i would call this value „togetherness“. Temporary urban projects can unveil a previously unseen potential and value of a place, regenerate and refurbish it, turn it into destination with other than marketing means – and by doing this they rise its market value, eg making it possible to rent for a higher price. p: first thing that comes to your mind hearing, connected to temporary use: ‘local government’ DB: „you have our support, but we cannot give you any money and we cannot guarantee anything.

Do we still need utopia? in order to get anywhere in life, you have to imagine it first!

Under the motto ‘space seeks ideas’, we searched for projects that are in need of space to develop their business in the best possible work atmosphere. Most of them recently took the step towards becoming self-employed and therewith wish to create their own economy. Projects differ from a Diy industrial design team, to new life clothes initiatives, books4life, renewable energy initiatives as well as upcycling glass production, the production of electrical bikes, an app re-using trash and a PhD group researching common goods. However, the decisive point for us was the interest in being involved in a shared equipment and shared skills system. Over the website, interested persons had to fill in a little questionnaire about which equipment and skills they would need and could share. We were amazed by the divers answers. interestingly enough for the users as well, this was the crucial point in saying yes to being part of the project.

To us the circular economy is not only about re-using products, up-cycling products and sustainability. We see potential in sharing goods, spaces and talent and put an equal focus on material and immaterial goods. The use of the house itself but as well the arrangement of spaces, the furniture and choice of projects all refer to the circular economy and an understanding and awareness of resources. in the building and specifically on the ground floor collaborations can take place, talents and tools can be shared and businesses can flourish according to the shared economy principle. in this way knowledge as well is seen as a product that might not lose value quickly but gains additional value by sharing.

Vacant real estate and left over spaces are unused for various reasons (outdated, unattractive architecture, excess of office buildings, monofunctional areas, etc.) and become more evident in times of economical crisis.

They are a growing cause for lost capital, often unnoticed and ignored. Redundant for the initial or anticipated function and management, these spaces are still of great potential for short term, flexible and adjusted use and business approach.

Via an open call and for a period of (initially) 2 years, different individuals and initiatives have been invited to collectively design 4200m2 of empty space. The interior spaces of 9 floors have been altered according to the needs and preferences of each future user. Only some added new material, yet most took great advantage of the industrial look of the concrete and steal construction, hidden behind layers of carpet and wallpaper. All 65 studios have been adapted, on a minimal budget into unique individual working spaces. Together with a 650m2 multifunctional community ground floor, they form a contemporary example of collaborative architecture with a strong focus on reutilisation. The once empty, forgotten urban resource has been efficiently transformed into a new breeding place for creative entrepreneurs, of which all citizens can profit from.

There are never better learning moments than doing mistakes. We did them a lot, and are grateful for every single of them. fail again, fail better!

One of them has been the concept of using the ground floor. initially thought to use for the users, we realized it wasn’t as efficient as we imagined. We created vacancy in vacancy. if you want people to use the the common spaces, you also need to invest, offer talks, network and so on. Do not expect that people communicate or “socialize” on their own. you need to offer more than just the space.

Sometimes we talk in jargons.

Use words which sound or are important. Words which are understood only by a segment of people with a specific knowledge (for instance from the field of urban development). We believe it’s important to communicate with a common language - hence to ‘commonicate‘. Urban development has to do with all of us. We should be able to discuss and explain our ideas about the city to our neighbours, friends or colleagues.

Let’s participate in the discussion, let’s commonicate!

The ground floor of Das Packhaus is arranged according to the shared space principe and functions an an add on for the offices. The ground floor is also understood as extension of the public space.

To share equipment and skills, we reserved the entire ground floor of the building, comprising of 650m2. This space, the heart of our project, is where we see the highest potential and cooperate activity and synergies should take place.

All users in the house have a sharing part in this floor.

They pay for the least needed space they would privately use for their business and are allowed, if not requested, to utilize the ground floor for presentations, film-screenings or exhibitions, as meeting or factory space, to organize workshops and so on.

E-mails, newsletters, posters, telephone calls. But foremostly personal face-to-face contact. Lots of it. We learned people don’t read e-mails. So we printed them and hang them in elevators and in the common corridors in every floor. Communication improved. But the most efficient was to talk in person, quickest to call by phone.

Das Packhaus was not even fully used yet, and we got an e-mail from our neighbour with a window view to our inner courtyard whether she could have access to it to grow some vegetables. Since the beginning we cooperate with her and she comes to water and pick her tomatoes, spinach, basil. Give access to people who want to do something for the common good, or want to contribute positively to the liveliness of your spaces!

The terrace is an extended canteen. An outdoor meeting space. A place to relax, to have a break from the daily office routines. it’s open not only to the users of Das Packhaus, but also to the public.

in this vacant building we found an experiment field for various projects. Apart from our own research and the users within it also functions as an application field for universities. The future Lab of the Technical University of Vienna, the faculty for communication of the University of Vienna and the institute for Nonprofit Management of the University of economics will take the building as a case study of their research.

Openings or open houses are of course a fun thing to do but for us it has been a method to showcase the project and therefore the possibilities of temporary use. Deliberately we didn’t choose to (only) seek the academic discourse to advocate temporary use, rather we searched to set up an actual example that could convince many. On our openings and open houses (we had 4 in total), we created large public events where the community ground floor was open but where also the rest of the building; the co-created spaces of all (65-84) users have been opened to see the atmosphere, the motivated entrepreneurs that started business and profited from the former unused spaces.

On this informal low threshold manner we could not only explain many citizens to which the concept temporary use had been unknown or negatively loaded what we had been doing but they could see themselves the effects of using unused resources!

Collaborations have been a great way to learn from other experiences and share our own. Existing collaboration with organizations working with temporary use in Amsterdam (renowned Urban Resort) or various surrounding countries (e.g. Kék in Budapest, Pod Pyramidou in Bratislava) had been existing and other ties were made at various travels. We joined the idea Camp (EU Program) in Stockholm; where at least 6 projects were concerned with vacancy, we became ‘ambassadors of Vienna’ at events in Het Pakhuis Amsterdam; where we got to know other organizers and projects but also travelled to Salzburg and Linz to see our colleagues. in various set ups we spoke about matters that concerned us all: ‘dealing with local government’, ‘creating co-ownership for users’, ‘convincing real estate and seeking models to apply temporary use’ or ‘financing a building’. These collaborators in time became our network of advisers that have great knowledge in a field yet so unknown.

The bike kitchen is located on the ground floor of Das Packhaus and has its own entrance and connection to the street.

Once a week cycling enthousiasts meet - no matter if it’s raining, snowing or sweatyhot - to repair and improve their bikes. A must-have social gathering, an important part of the building!

This is a part of our ‘new ways of working‘ concept for Das Packhaus. Offer a possibility to stay move, stretch, sweat.

To do something physical, not to fall in the trap of the office room. We value our health, and have therefore created a space to work on it!

With Das Packhaus, Paradocks aims to offer an inclusive package that does not neglect the contemporary needs of entrepreneurs. in the context oft he new work (new ways of working) we offer a healthy climate in which healthy food and various kinds of movement are offered. Physically our users have multiple options where they could work. Apart from their own private spaces, there are meeting spaces, a garden, the cafe and common space.

We continually make analyses about the needs of our users. in time we opened up for popups, where designers could showcase their products or exhibited their art. We aim to develop this further and now took on the approach in which we seek for certain vacant spaces (that meet the need of users in general).

There is a clear and apparent trend towards self-employment, a growing amount of startups and innovative businesses on the search for profitable selfmade jobs and economies. Vienna is no exception but should invest in its fertile grounds to let new businesses flourish. Between available and desired space for startups is a clear discrepancy. Despite rising vacancy rates, there is a lack of accessible spaces for businesses.

How will we call our building? i think we went thought a dozen of different ideas, from Marcks to MG24. We called itDas Packhaus.

‘Das Packhaus’ is translated from the Dutch ‘pakhuis’ and refers an urban building storing various goods. in Das Packhaus we aim to bring together different projects and people in the former office building in the Marxergasse 24, within the concept of circular economies. in addition, it fits to our name ‘bridging potential’ and our symbol of a Dutch bridge that, is historically found next to the ‘pakhuis’.

Plan a lunch with the users and the neighbourhood. Promote it. Cook something you love. Put some tables and benches outside. But before you do that, check who the owner of the space is and ask kindly for a permission to use it temporarily. invite the owner(s) to the lunch. People will come, meet, talk and will come again!

Jociuté’s photoexhibition description: „You are walking in Vienna’s 3rd district, reaching Marxergasse and you see an office building that stands out from old, renovated beauty around it. It stands here still, in its moss green colour, and you wonder if it’s alive. Yes, it’s breathing. In the 1970’s, this building was designed as a usual office space for workers.

Today, after years of stillness, it wakes up for different people and their work. Same rooms are still here and schemes repeat themselves floor to floor, yet their insides loses their uniformity. You feel like stranger here, entering intimate spaces of work, which sometimes feels more like home, yet you are kindly welcomed by the people

“The Packhaus Portraits” photography exhibition is an outcome from collaboration with Paradocks and Marija Jociuté. it’s a collection of insights to the working spaces of the Packhaus-users during the first years of the building’s existance, 2014-2015. The result is a collection of over 100 portrait of people and spaces of Das Packhaus.

working here and now you can have a glance into their working day. For a few moments you can quietly observe them doing things they care about, or listen to a story about a project they are engaged in, about a colleague who is not here at the moment, or even help to fix a bicycle chain. Walking from one space to another, you can sense, every room has a different temper. The monotony of the ordinary office is replaced by spaces which are tuned to their temporary occupiers.

The work goes on, and you need to go now, but stop for a coffee in the ground floor before you leave, maybe you meet a familiar face.“ marija jociuté (1988) was born in Lithuania, after graduation at the Vilnius Academy of arts, she came to Vienna.

She works with different media and projects, currently engaged in analogue photography.

Paradocks is a new type of real estate management agency, that is matchmaking ideas and spaces, users and owners, specialized in vacant, difficult to rent out properties. We offer our services to the owner (public and private property) and the user (an individual or a company seeking spaces for their professional activities, for instance selfemployed, startups, creative professionals).

We are urban entrepreneurs, activating and connecting formerly inaccessible supply and invisible demand. We approach vacancy as a chance, not as a problem. Our services are applicable on various scales, from a vacant ground floor to the whole building, from urban to rural context, from a national to an international scope.

Paradocks actively questions, treats and designs temporary use of spaces. We dock demand to supply, free spaces to people and knowledge about temporary use to the wider public.

We are an international thinktank for temporary use, which handles the topic in a multidimensional way, combining practice with theory. We research the discourse of temporary use and vacancy, clears out its prejudice and fears, discards the label of occupation and above most inspires others to support and initiate temporary use. We enable a field of experimentation for a social development, design and test new economic, cooperative and spatial models. www.paradocks.at
