This project explores a thick structural facade system for a contemporary library in downtown of Budapest. From one side it reinvents the operation, and relation to physical content, and at the same time it shifts the usage of the library towards a more city, and event oriented direction. The Facade system combines the potential of structure, circulation, visual effect, envelope, and also creates smaller interiour and exterior divisions. The major components of this thick skin are the two interweaving layers constructed out of bent contourlines and straight stiffening members. Structurally it works as a constant transition between a classical diagrid and a spacetruss condition. Due to the sophisticated control system the skins gradiently changing the porosity of the facade and controlling the amount of light for the interiour spaces.

The polarity between the building and the area is the basis for the project.Traditionally it was the plinth with which the construction figure soared from the foundation soil. The "modernity" blasted the plinth, the construction was floating over the ground, the area remained untouched. Today the plinth has its come back and the delimitation not only takes place in the cubage but also in the choice of accessibility.

crossover studio 2009. digital project by gehry technologies ➔

In the crossover studio 2009 the students used Gehry Technologies Digital Project, the most sophisticated digital design and construction modeler, to develop a Pavilion for the Sigmund FreudPark in Vienna. The goals of the studio are twofold: to produce a series of provocative and highly refined pavilion designs and to test the significance of a new technology and its implications for architectural practice. When coupled with clear design ambitions, the latest generation of parametric design tools offer today's architects possibilities of extraordinary sophistication. Architects can now better manage complex geometric configurations and more easily elicit diverse design possibilities through embedded logical statements and rule-based strategies. When approached cleverly, these strategies are open-ended, non-deterministic and can be incorporated into the

design process at multiple stages. This allows architects to synchronize independently delineated design goals with unprecedented geometric dexterity and critical quantitative feedback. It is in this spirit that the crossover studio will attempt to harness the capacities of the most advanced digital design technology for architecture. The studio was conducted by Kristy Balliet, Justin Diles, Niels Jonkhans and Robert Neumayr from the Angewandte. Gehry Technologies Paris provided the essential technical and strategic support. The studio will continue in the summer semester. The Final Review of the crossover Studio was on 22 Janaury. Guests: Chris Bosse, LAVA (Sydney), Daniel Bosia, ARUP (London), Andrew Witt, Tobias Nolte, Gehry Technologies (Paris), Tom Kovac, RMIT (Melbourne) ◘

„start without beginning“

Prinz Eisenbeton in a conversation with the two founders of the Vienna based architecture office the next ENTERprise – architects. Marie-Therese Harnoncourt and Ernst J. Fuchs about the importance of interdisciplinary cooperations, the provocation of changes and the power of words.

Where does the name of your office come from: the next ENTERprise? the next ENTERprise denotes something which never stops, something that is coming – the next. The name is derived from a certain feeling: from a thought of pioneering and discovery, with which you approach your surroundings. The name suggests something lively, flexible, an enterprise like walking through a town, strolling around. But clearly – Enterprise is also a term of our generation.

In 2004, 7 architecture students of the Studio of Wolf D. Prix at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna, weaved 4 miles of bamboo in 180 days into 2600 sqft of new geometry. The roof was planned as a community center for education of agriculture and alternative technologies. The project was executed and supported by Cesar Lopez Negrete for the Institute Tonatzin Tlalli. On Friday, 30th of October 2009, on the occasion of the 5th year anniversary of completion, a provoking international panel discussion about the sustainability of this project was organized by the Institute of Architecture (IOA) at the Centro de las Artes de San Augustin, Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico: „Sustainability vs Aesthetics?“ was the title of this conference; moderated by Cesar Lopez Negrete with the panelists Raimund Abraham, Wolf D. Prix, Charlie Pruscha, Michael Rotondi, and Roxana Montiel & Mauricio Rocha from Mexico City. ◘

Anutorn Polphong studies architecture at Studio Prix.

Would you from today’s point of view encourage students to become self-employed after their studies? No. Their education is not complete after the end of their studies. Practice teaches you how to implement ideas, you profit from the surroundings and the knowledge there which again enhances your own know-how. Our own career only led through selfemployment by chance – we were a loose group of like-minded people. Instead of working in designated areas and programs, we used the city as a field for experiments: so to speak we were builders and users at once. This approach to use public space was also interesting for other people and thus also used by them – so an informal network developed, in which projects were connected and we „stimulate“ each other.

We consciously work in processes – we start without beginning. If you really take this approach serious, you will see the moment much more focused.

The first years were also strongly characterized by interdisciplinary cooperation? We were interested to work in a discourse with people who had other backgrounds, other approaches. You always hear the same question: „What exactly is architecture?“ For us it is the sum of things, ways of thought and points of view – this approach interested us, in contrast to an approach which only references the field of architecture. From these questions the first installations developed – in cooperation with artists, simply non-architects.

chance? Does that describe your design method? We try to not think dogmatically and keep our heads clear. In our work we use a sort of collage technique. The collage enables the meeting of different media and opinions. This unpredictable encounter of things is the chance we talk about, the irritation of the usual. In this breeding ground or data field the development process happens. We often start off with a tabula rasa or a structure which does not have much in common with a building or a building site. Only through the concurrence of process steps and inputs – terms which come from the builder, the introduction of different levels of interpretation etc. – the whole merges into a building. We consciously work in processes – we start without beginning. If you really take this approach serious, you will see the moment much more focused – because there is no images at the end towards which you are steering, you let yourself be guided by the given conditions. Another strategy is working with terms: terms that enhance, lead away and alienate.

„The provocation of coincidences and the unpredictable is our strategy for the space and program production of architecture.“ This statement can be found on your homepage. How do you produce these

You produce notion through words? Yes, for example in an urban development competition for Leonding. There we raised the claim: the Harter Plateau becomes a sea. And thus the building is situated at a pier.

Through such methods we try to introduce transformative ways of thinking. This strategy is not only limited to the conceptual phase, it also affects planning and implementation. Transforming terms can be found even to the site plan of the construction – it introduces an additional atmospherical-emotional level into the „hardware“ of the built room, a concentration of different factors. Therefore we try to see the user not as a simple consumer but as an active user of architecture. The working title for the open-air stage Grafenegg for example was „Cloud Tower“. A cloud tower is an open-air thing – being exposed to clouds and weather, weathered… all this is implied in the term. From a certain moment onward the project participants, the owners and finally also the users; the musicians, the audience and visitors have only communicated via these terms. That is great, of course!

We often start off with a tabula rasa or a structure which does not have much in common with a building or a building site.

So you are using language as a strategy to involve your clients into your way of thinking. Language, too – because language sets associative thinking into motion. What do you deem more important for the ambience of a room, the eye or the ear? You can sit on an – acoustically – comparatively bad place in a concert, but by seeing well, you nevertheless hear the music. This only means that the brain puts together something new via seeing. Seeing and hearing – this is for us the emotion of atmosphere. But the sense of smell is also very powerful. If you design a swimming pool, which does not smell of chlorine, the association „swimming pool“ and the according interpretation of the room will only come by seeing it. If you have on the other hand an basement room – like for example the backstage area in Grafenegg – and it smells like a cellar there, this smell would immediately create negative associations, even repulsion - even by seeing you cannot tell that the room is underground at all. The first perception is through smell and not through seeing. Smell is something very fast. ◘

Reflection of sunlight deep into the room through the reflective lamination of the shades.

SUMMER SUN

Águas de Março is a residential project that combines the transparency of the case study houses with a second layer of adjustable exterior shading devices and cantilevered balconies that control the interior climate and serve as circulation measure. The design of the exterior façade system is inspired by the waves of the Pacific Ocean in Venice California and the song Águas de Março by Antonio Jobim.

Summer sun is blocked by the shades to prevent overheating. Winter sun is allowed into the spaces for heat gain.

The adjustable second skin is the primary design feature which negotiates the climate between the inside and the outside. This is a passive green design measure that doesn’t use any additional energy as many active design measures do. During the summer months the shades block the sun while in winter the shallower angled sun rays are welcomed through the blinds. The shades are painted orange on the one side and are laminated with a reflective finish on the opposite side. Natural air circulation is supported through the adjustable blinds. In addition to the shading device the project features sustainable design measures like adjustable natural ventilation, alternative energy generation, solar collectors for hot water generation and water preserving measures like reclaimed irrigation, native planting and pervious pavement.

WINTER SUN

The shades guarantee privacy, but the view from the inside to the outside is undisturbed.

The shades can allow natural ventilation, but block the glare of the sunlight

sliver lecture. SLIVER lecture series within the Institute of Architecture emphasizes the enormous impact and reach that a network within a single institution can have. The many tenuous relationships that are built, designed, modified, and extinguished throughout a long journey are of particular interest. The invitations were extended to selected friends and enemies working as architects, designers, artists, curators, and critics, both near and far. They are critical agents within a broader innovative system. While the selected guests do not share a common technique, working method or genre, they all challenge convention. The resulting spectrum of work ranges from innovative buildings, detailed aliens, bloated sculptures, scripted worlds, and atmospheric islands. The focus of this series is not to explicitly distinguish between, “Who are the enemies?” and “Who are the friends?”, but rather to assert that both are critical elements within the discourse and necessary to generate productive discussions. The lecturers decisively thrust their force in opposing directions, creating dynamic and counter ideas. Provocative forces wrinkle many collars and rustle many feathers, but they unanimously solicit responses that define and create trajectories. The selected lecturers perform within the realm of the non-standard, at the extremities of their respective fields and view points. They approach their work with a religious zeal that is contagious, persuasive, and makes them critical both inside and outside networks.  Kristy Balliet

Daniel Prost studies architecture at Studio Prix since 2009.

“aspects of desire, beauty and design” What influences you as an architect? Technological beauty and its inherent strangeness. Essentially I am always in search of these aspects in the everyday objects, occurrences and aspects of our lives, the shapes, forms and tectonics associated with speed, technological innovation, communication technologies and any advancements in these realms as set against classical notions of beauty, perfection and the expected. I am intrigued by the space between the absolute in terms of aesthetic power and the outright strange in terms of enigma and what we used to call the surreal. Such influences for me could be discovered in many places from a small film sequence to a text, or an object or even an advertisement or political occurrence. It is not that any one source or influence is more important than another but rather where once we could say a landscape or a face or a painting would suffice to influence and intrigue, today it's more complex, a sort of hyper textural combination of inputs that serve to say something about the space form and architecture we inhabit and need to consider inhabiting in this period we live in. What is your network? I cherish both being within and at times without a network. My architectural network consists mainly of like minded creative individuals within and slightly beyond the field of architecture such as the entire faculty at the Angewandte as well as other architects, artists and thinkers working in New York, Los Angeles and in parts of Europe. What ties many of these individuals and sub networks together is a mutual curiosity and in some ways a nature to go against the grain. Wolf D. Prix, Zaha Hadid, and Greg Lynn are but three of a few particular souls with infinite curiosity and talent that I share a 'network' with. I also consider some visual artists and people in the art world such as Olafur Eliasson and Max Hollein and Tom Krens are also in orbits that I in-

But more or less I am not entirely committed (nor tied down) by any particular network. In actuality I believe networks are more or less necessary to skirt and survey rather than being a necessity to be within and therefore being 'always inside'. Do you still believe in the paperless office? I never believed in the paperless office per se, I did and still believe in the revolutionary and unprecedented possibilities and now full blown advent of the digital, not only in our working environments but more importantly in our creative process. My foray into the paperless studio at Columbia University in 1997 was at the time a much needed and I believe extremely successful experiment. We anticipated then what is already 'normal' today and in many ways also prepared the ground for the onslaught of digital means and methods in our discipline. Today the 'conventional' practice is more or less entirely digital, while the radical practices are in search of what I would call a hybridized state of operating somewhere between the hard core digital and the reactionary analog. Our own practice, Asymptote, is caught in this search at the moment. In some ways we have gone back in our own history with model making, installation work, technological integration etc. while maintaining a steadfast approach to the new ways in which we now work with digital tools, machines and the

What do you expect from a building? That it (a building as architecture and not mere building) is intrinsically understood as a wholly spatial work, not merely as style or set of procedures (as is too often the case today). That is to say that the architecture, and all that comes with that, form, light, spatiality, texture, aura, program etc. all work in concert in such a way to inspire people to see something beyond the mere physical form of the work and instead become acutely aware of an architectures cultural, poetic, and yes even metaphysical condition, particularly when it relates to an urban condition, a landscape or an atmosphere (all three important domains for an architecture to truly exist). As an architect, how do you react when people talk to you about social responsibility? It is an absolute given that the mere definition of enacting and 'performing' architecture is at its core something predicated on 'social responsibility'. I do not believe that simply making a building 'greener' or more sustainable is enough to be called socially responsible. Those aspects are obviously very important and key, however social responsibility goes further, allowing people to have pride in their built environment, to understand and appreciate something as ineffable and fleeting as beauty and dignity. To allow a city to evolve and provoke play, healthy working environments, bathing people in nature and light, understanding nuances of sound and musicality and so on are all aspects of being 'socially responsible'. The problem

today with the obsession and need for LEED buildings, governmental controls and pushing architects to 'conform' to a narrow and myopic idea of social responsibility is leaving a void in the making of actual architecturally significant works and buildings. Checking off boxes and specifying certain materials does not guarantee important and significant architectural production or cities of value and worth. What are the future of architecture and the future of architectural education? Architecture and architectural education are in a very problematic and difficult moment. In a world where the glamor lies with other disciplines such as software and information based careers, architecture has and is continuing to lose a great deal of its brain trust and talent. The profession itsself is somewhat tatered and disheveled and in need of a real and significant reconsideration and redefinition. Open Source is the order of the day and in many ways the discipline of architecture needs to reestablish its relation to such a phenomena. Arguments over style and ideological positioning, taste and economic drivers are all weighing heavily on this discipline. Schools of architecture today need to seriously consider new modes of educating, research and discovery. The schools or the future and therefore the architecture of the future, will hopefully abandon staid arguments

Architecture of the future and the schools that teach it will invariably change in the coming years to a more far reaching and less specific discipline.

about style and instead forge ahead with new and unexpected positions and ideas truly relevant to the human condition as we now know it. The relevancy will come about through the assembly of aspects as diverse as environmental response to advents and influences of artificial intelligence, robotics and the inevitable advent of technological change from the micro to the mega. Architecture of the future and the schools that teach it will invariably change in the coming years to a more far reaching and less specific discipline. Why did you call your office Asymptote? At the time I called the (then studio) and now practice Asymptote we were in a period of change when it came to practicing architecture. My heros in this discipline and new trajectory for architecture dated back to the 60's with groups like Super Studio, Archigram and UFO and later in the 70's and 80's with groups like Haus Rucker and COOP HIMMELB(L)AU and finally in the 80's with Morphosis. It became clear to me that we needed a name that was part of this lineage and something that deflected the single male heroic figure of modern and post modern architecture. I also liked very much the philosophical implications of a word like asymptote, even though mathematical in origin I discovered it in a text by Baudelaire describing the women of the 19th century Paris as -asymptote's- and realized that the word encompasses not only profound algebraic origins but also aspects of desire, beauty and design. I thought that calling a practice a term than held both quantified as well as conceptual logic was appropriate and perfect for our (at the time) highly experimental practice of the 90's and even more so today for our 21st century practice. 

eric owen moss

“ the scale of utopia” Prinz Eisenbeton in a conversation with Eric Owen Moss, founder of the L.A. based office Eric Owen Moss Architects and director of SCI-Arc, about the meaning of utopia, human experience and interlectuall chimney sticks. What do you think is the future of architecture? Well, architecture has no future except you. There are probably as many futures in architecture as there are people who are involved to make it. The one point that I would make, which I made last night, (http://www.i-o-a.at/sliver/friendand-enemies-massive-attack/ eric-owen-moss/) is that many large projects are plausible projects and I gave some examples which I think are not fantasies or utopia. The word utopian actually has a double meaning, it’s not only something which is extraordinary but something which is unlikely to happen, that’s part of the meaning. What’s plausible now is utopia which is likely to happen, it doesn’t necessarily mean everywhere and it doesn’t necessarily mean by everyone but I think there are enough problems on a huge scale that it’s worth considering, certainly for you guys and your generation. Like the Gotthardpass. The Gotthardpass has been a pain in the neck since people have been attacking from Italy to Switzerland to Austria. Hannibal probably could

have done much better although he might have been in a different area. To make something like that, is not a naive adulation of technical prowess nor is it adulation of the images of technique, which has been a big part of the history of architecture for a long time. So you get to be a radical architect because you have pipes and ducts or currently you bend the roof in a knot of supercilious ways to claim your being contingent to the sun, the wind and the stars. There are really human issues, big social, political, economic and environmental issues that can be dealt with at a very ambitious scale and in a very intelligent way, although this complicates the role of the architect in that process. It will be interesting to see with the larger projects if they are all in China, of which I’m not so sure. This is not to say that the Chinese discussion is the only kind of discussion, it has its problems too, because of course if you argue then you are ipso facto against the people and against the state and therefore you can’t argue. I think some of these projects have

to be discussed and they have to be debated, and they ought to be discussed and debated in the context where the objective is to get it done, not where the objective is to have a debate. When I go over to China the discussion brings up the fact of too much authority, and their response is that in America all you guys want to do is debate everything. There is probably some truth from both sides. The point is that we require a different kind of sophistication on the part of the architect to talk about issues in a way which would be aligned with social questions, political questions, environmental questions and the long time aspirations of big numbers of people. If you look at this thing, I was just watching the CNN report about how the Missisippi river flooding is causing a mess again, over and over and over. I mentioned last night the Yellow river which is sometimes referred to as China’s sorrow because it creates so many problems for millions of people over hundreds of years. So to take those problems into account, for instance that proposal in

South Korea. On one level you could say it’s really nuts, or really extreme and yet it was part of a discussion among reasonable characters. Whether they do it or not, to make this enormous water way is interesting for a number of reasons, in terms of energy, economy and recreation even in terms of the very definition of what a city could be. The idea that we haven’t defined everything, I think there are so often discussions in American and European cities because so much of the cities are built up, that what’s left, whether it’s unusual or not as an object, what’s left is to simply fill in the pieces. There are very different kinds of arguments, for example we won a competition in Los Angeles not long ago, there was one in L.A, one in New York and one in Chicago which

all had to do with future cities. The discussion for instance of the sizes of the land or the dimensions of land that are at stake when you build something, because certain sizes of land in Manhattan for example pose an argument for a certain type of solution. If the dimension of a building change it changes the way of thinking. Buildings could be enormous in size and include all sorts of programmatic components that typically belong to single buildings or mixed-use buildings. Very big scale buildings that could produce their own energy for example, so I think those kinds of things are possible and this is something to look forward to. What those things would look like is a different question and an important question and there will always be a poetic or personal component to architecture and the ambitions in architecture to do these large human social service projects. I think that we have grown up enough and matured in a way where this is certainly a significant piece of the future. When you talk about those big buildings, how do you think

The idea of human experience being scaled to the size of humans doesn’t necessarily follow.

the social responsibility of the architect is in terms of its relationship to human scale? Well, I have no idea what you mean by human scale, I think this is a little bit like the subject I was talking about last night when somebody teaches you a word and then you repeat it. I tell you what you do, you get on a beach in Los Angeles, the beach by the Pacific ocean, and walk along the beach. The size of the thing is colossal, there is no limit to it, the ocean is infinite, the sky is infinite, the beach is huge. Why should everything be the scale of people walking around. I don’t think it frightens anyone, or intimidates anyone. The idea of human experience being scaled to the size of humans doesn’t necessarily follow. There may be specific situations where people are more or less comfortable in bigger groups or smaller groups. If you go to a football game in Rio there is a 130,000 people, is that human scale? So there are probably different kinds of experiences that might be available in buildings where there are very large spaces and smaller spaces but the existential experience of a human being living on earth looking at the sky, is part of being alive and I can’t argue that either in a natural setting or a built setting that we should retreat from that. It’s fascinating and wonderful and it’s invigorating so I don’t see any reason for being reluctant. I mean if you make something that is a labyrinth or utterly confusing - I remember years ago there was a discussion at Harvard on a project by Paul Rudolph which was a mental health centre in downtown Boston. Rudolph is an unusual guy, I don’t know if you know his work, he used to be the dean of Yale a number of years ago. You walk up a very odd staircase of which each part is different and over the stair are these incandescent lights on arms that look like hammers, this was the discussion with a psychiatrist analysing the building. Then you walk into the building which is a big hall way and if your not careful you walk right outside the building and down the other side. If you didn’t have mental health problems when you started you probably would by the time you went through the building. Not withstanding it’s a kind of fascinating building as an object, but there is probably a better way to get somebody into mental health care. Nobody is arguing for that kind of trepidation and difficulty for people to get in and out of buildings. In terms of the mere size of buildings, if you took this building and took the Hilton and shoved it up against the next building and the next building what that would mean in terms of the city and the people going in and out and so on. There are types of buildings which are plausible and one of the things which is going on now is that people are spending a lot of time sort of twisting and folding and bending and stretching buildings, some of which are more clever and some less clever, which I think is the end of one era and the beginning of another era. The more it’s done, the more vacuous it gets, because when nobody folded anything, nobody bent anything or twisted anything, of course Patrik comes out and he says this is differentiation.

of a lot of that stuff, and when you do that you find yourself in a very uncomfortable position, people don’t like to be in uncomfortable positions. They prefer to have patterns and predictability, regularity and stability and things like that. This is a human instinct and when you get rid of that, you’re asking you and whoever joins to live in a perpetual never world where you are looking at ideas and working with ideas but you are prepared consistently to reject them and turn them over and speculate. In any critical and intellectual way you have some of that quality as a part of your life in order to move the discussion forward, and in a more personal way to move your own personal discussion forward. Otherwise it’s a replica. In that sense education is like teaching the Russian army, straight ahead. The idea of marching in a row, predictable and systematic, without thinking let’s get the cavalry or let’s get the infantry or let’s get the drone, what are the options. Thinking about ways to understand what architecture could be. I also have to say that even if you accept that as a premise, this critical intellectual disposition, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it always yields to a certain kind of result, that it’s breaking through somehow. It just means that your mind has to be attuned to listen for what you haven’t heard yet, as oppose to listening for what you’ve heard. Thom asked a question, which if I heard it right seemed to be, ‘there is a hell of a lot of stuff out here, how can we focus that and how can we use it?’. I would say life is personal for one architect at a time, and I think my job is to open it up in a discussion like that and your job is to figure out how or if or when to close it down.

We have had our disagreement, nothing personal, I like Patrik, but I think that it is really a kind of disingenuous argument for something that makes a variety of forms, to say when it does this we put one apartment and when it does this we put three apartments and when it does this it’s small and people like small, or when it does this then people like big, oh I’m a ‘democrat’. Which in my opinion is not entirely to say that there isn’t something democratic in a way, that people live differently, but that has more to do with a software capacity than it does with serious study. By the way if you roll the clock back 50 or 60 years the same argument was made in reverse, i.e. make something which is completely neutral and then let people do whatever they wanted as opposed to making it very definitive and obligating people. I mean the Louvre used to be somebody’s house, it didn’t change the building. So the convertibility of space is also an issue. Anyway, as I say some of these kinds of intellectual chimney sticks are intriguing, but I think they may be beside the point in terms of where architecture might go and in terms of belonging to the committee that might see the world becoming different and getting better. So ‘zipadedoda’ towers may not do that. Where does SCI-Arc go to? What’s the future of architectural education? You say that we are the future of architecture, but where does it go if bending and twisting is leading into a vacuum? Don’t get me wrong, there are probably ways of associating some of those kinds of gestures with other kinds of content and other kinds of social and political moods relating to the content. This allows you to do things now which you couldn’t do before because of design and engineering and construction capabilities, it’s only to say it’s not entirely a toy story, and software is the key to the toy story. Architectural education is always, the danger of education in general is, and this is peculiar because if I know something and I teach you and you learn it then you are already in a continuum, in a discussion, where rules and methods are being handed out to you, and I think a certain amount of that is probably essential and necessary. It's like learning mathematics or something, you have to teach a kid this means to add this means to subtract etc. There are probably basic tools that you need to know, but I think for unusual people, maybe not everyone, whatever is taught and learned is incorporated so that it becomes a skill and you can say this is me, this is what I do. I think ultimately in a personal life as well as in an architectural life, if you really want to find out who me is, you probably have to get rid

There is still local and discrete ways of looking at the world, everything hasn’t yet slid together.

What do you expect from a building? There are a lot of ways to answer that in the context of this discussion. If I were consistent with what I’m saying, I think what I would expect from an extraordinary building would be to come to understand something that I hadn’t understood before, or to see a possibility that I hadn’t anticipated. This is why I’m making an argument that you have to anticipate what you cannot anticipate, you have to find ways of looking and thinking and understanding. I remember when we were working on the Gasometer, whether we got fired or whether we quit is another discussion, but this is a simple point, the floor had a meaning in terms of the pressurisation of the gas that was originally in the building. What immediately struck me was that a surface like that on the floor had to be specifically like this, to look at pieces of buildings or the operation of buildings in unconventional ways might give you opportunities to see other kinds of meaning, purposes, uses and points of view. I have always thought in the deepest sense that architecture if it’s not

only about the culture, it can actually prop up the culture and sustain the culture, so there is something in it which is not only an investigation. You can make something that carries with it a kind of convention or imagination or energy that pulls people along with it, like the pied piper. Not necessarily to the river, but it gives you a kind of vantage point or mechanism or energy to go forward. It’s a positive force, it lifts you up and includes you, not only it analyses you and takes you apart but it puts you back together, so it’s a support of the culture, it sustains the culture. You were also talking about cities, comparing how cities grew through different patterns and the fragility that results. Considering the theme of architecture evolving with culture, what do you think about bringing different aspects of culture in through architecture, is that a big influence for people? Well that drawing is a funny drawing, it’s a composite drawing we made and it has to do with much older, a little bit newer and very new. They could as I said all take place at the same time, it could also be a section, it doesn’t have to be a plan. I just talked about it experimentally what those living conditions represent, about how you learn and how you know and how you really think you know and how at the end it becomes what I call redundant. Whereas the initiative is more experimental. How that would work with different cultures and the involvement of different cultures? I don’t know, because there are social issues and you can see it when I showed that slide about the big march in L.A. In principle I think is part of a discussion of large projects in the integration of different sociological points of view and different cultures, there isn’t any reason why that shouldn’t happen but there is a lot of history that argues that it is very difficult to do. I think that’s something everybody has to work on while it’s not so simple. I wouldn’t be naïve about it but I wouldn’t rule it out either. I know there is a group of people, most of them with grey hair who get on the plane and fly all over the world and think everything is globalized, but when you land most of the people aren’t doing that actually. We should keep in mind that just because your flying around everywhere it doesn’t mean the world has also reached that point. There is still local and discrete ways of looking at the world, everything hasn’t yet slid together. I’m not sure if Facebook and Twitter and all of those , although I think they help in some ways, break down all the social distinctions that allow you to make a city that is part St. Petersburg, part Istanbul, part Beijing and part Washington D.C, I’m not sure how you could do that but it might be worth looking at that. 

featured architect. LAAC Architects/Stiefel Kramer Architecture. LAAC Architects, formerly known as atearchitecture, was founded in 2010 by Kathrin Aste and Frank Ludin. Recent realized projects include the widely published and multiply awarded mountain-top viewing platform “Top of Tyrol”. They’ve won the 2nd price in the competition for the ski-jump Holmenkollen in Oslo, another ski jump is under construction in Astana, Kazakhstan. Stiefel Kramer Architecture was founded in 2003 by Hannes Stiefel and Thomas Kramer. Among other prizes and awards they’ve won the 2nd prize in the competition for Kunsthaus Graz and received the patronizing award of the city of Vienna in 2007. Hannes Stiefel lectures and teaches internationally, he recently held the position of the McHale Fellow at the University at Buffalo, NY.

Landhausplatz Innsbruck, Austria Dynamic Stage and Place of Contemplation Point of departure for the project was a large but shabby public square in the centre of the city of Innsbruck. It was dominated by the Tyrolean provincial governmental building from the national socialist period and by a large scale memorial that seemed to be a fascist monument too – which in fact and in spite of its visual appearance is a freedom monument that shall commemorate the resistance. The goal of our intervention was to compensate for existing misconceptions and to create a contemporary urban place that negotiates between the various contradictory constraints of the site and enables – and catalyzes – a new mélange of urban activities characterized by a wide range of diversity. The realized project consists of a 9.000 square meter concrete floor sculpture. It serves as a base for four memorials, for a large-size event-space, for fountains, trees, seatingaccommodation and it contains the entrances to and the supply units for the subterranean garage. It provides infrastructure for many imaginable events on the square.

Competition: 2008/2009, 1st prize Construction: 2010.03–2011.04 Conceived in cooperation with artist Christopher Grüner Team: Thomas Feuerstein, Peter Griebel, Marc Ihle, Teresa Stillebacher Client: Province of Tyrol Structural Engineer: Dipl.-Ing. Alfred R. Brunnsteiner Lighting concept: Halotech

vestigating spatial phenomena in rural and urban Sub-Saharan Africa. A series of lectures and talks introduces students to the spatial diversity and cultural vibrancy of the contemporary African condition, followed by research-based workshops which focus on the status and potential of a specific region. Between the winterterm 2011 and the summerterm 2014, we will be focusing on the village of Guabuliga / Ghana, the city of Kisangani / DR Congo, the capital Bamako / Mali, and the megacity Lagos / Nigeria. Each lab centres on a specific question and clear mission and culminates in a field trip through which rural growth patterns, urban prototypes, imaginary art spaces, and relational physical interventions are produced. The outcome of each lab will be presented in different formats and contexts, both on the African continent and in Europe. Having started in October 2011, [a]FA Ghana investigates the settlement pattern of Guabuliga, a remote village located in the tree savannah of Northern Ghana. Based on the existing typology of nucleated and dispersed compound structures, potential growth patterns will be designed and future parameters will be defined, which also allow for the imbedding of a new typology of larger-scale (communal) units and the definition of a correlating path network. Guabuliga is growing visibly and arbitrarily, and is in need of holistic concepts and site-specific strategies that would embrace its current transition towards a less traditional, less informal environment. In opposition to other villages and towns in the region, the vernacular physiognomy of Guabuliga up until now has hardly been infected by pragmatic conventions of faceless densification or grid-based sprawl. Chief Salifu Mahama Tampurie has invited the [a]FA lab to project other scenarios with a view towards an ecological future for his village. Parallel to this “real” task, students are encouraged to work on individual (narrative) mappings. Different layers which constitute the characteristics of the village such as nature, agriculture, culture, consumption and commerce – are taken as thematic starting points to carefully perceive, read, and capture relevant fragments

of the village. Adequate mapping techniques and critical modes of representation will be discussed and elaborated. The program starts in Vienna and continues in Ghana for a threeweek fieldwork phase that takes place in February 2012. [a]FA Ghana participants are Joana Petkova, Joseph Hofmarcher, Jürgen Strohmayer, Stefanie Theuretzbacher, Christian Car, and Theresa Theretzbacher.

[a]FA is directed by Baerbel Mueller, an Assistant Professor at the IoA. From 2002 to 2011, she has been teaching at Studio Prix, where she has been in charge of special projects such as the student realization, Techo en Mexico. She is also a practising architect (nav_s baerbel mueller) who describes her work as “navigations in the field of architecture within diverse cultural contexts”, currently focusing on projects in Ghana and the DR Congo. [a]FA Ghana will be taught in collaboration with guests such as the architects Bernard Sommer and Joe Osae-Addo, the engineer Frank B. Kumah, the anthropologist Andrea Rieger-Jandl, and the artists Nikolaus Gansterer and Bernard Akoi-Jackson.

Esther Stocker. Repairing Geometry In my paintings and installations I am not searching for perfection, I am searching for mistakes. The starting point of my artwork is often a regular geometrical system, regular lines or the grid – then I repair it. Its damage is its exactness, this needs to be repaired by damaging it. By slightly changing the form, this can be an absent form, displacement or a shift. What fascinates me the most are formal paradoxes, the logic of contradiction. That a structure can be ordered and disordered at the same time. That the exactness of geometry sometimes becomes vague.
