about me: I study Architecture since almost 5 years at the Vienna University of Technology in Austria. Upon completing my basic studies I focused on urban design and smaller interventions on the one hand and otherwise on the field of architectural history and research. My design methods are variegated and experimental. I write, draw, paint and do field experiments. My studies of vernacular architecture and historical constructions made from natural building materials effect my design in formal and ecological respect. My previous field of applied environmental studies have led to deeper understanding of sustainable actions and therefore to a conscious way of handling materials and an integrated view on the whole project.

bridge sharing first encounter: During our field trips in and around Abattoir and Quai Demets, we realized different kind of functions, materialized themselves as buildings around the canal. It seemed to us that these isolated functions also separated people from each other. The lack of connection to the upper side of the site, the poorly defined spaces on the both sides, the bridge, polluted by dumped garbage, and the badly lit metro station create an unsecure feeling where people are unlikely to stay. The current situation creates a social fence and supports the existing physical fence. message in the cup: While the need of a physical bridge was clear, the common opinion of the people regarding a social bridge was foggy. In order to have a deeper look at the situation, we created an intervention at the canal that allowed people to communicate to each other to the other side by using wired cup phones. The experience was quite a success and the interest and collaboration of the people cleared all the existing questions and let the answer pop out by itself: A physical as well as a social bridging should be done. two in one: Our design is a proposal for bridging structures that react to the changes and people‘s behaviours in the site. Our solution constructs itself into a modular system that will be combined for different usages, not only as infrastructure but also as platforms for entertainment and public space.

To understand when and where a physical or a social bridge will be needed, a timetable has been created that shows the different functions along the canal subject to time of day and weekday. bridge as microorganism: In order to create that kind of flexibility, cranes on rails will be placed along the canal. These cranes will be seen as distributors, arranging the platforms for the different needs during the weekdays and also moving them vertically for ships to pass away. Each pair of cranes will operate in a radius of 2OO meters along the canal and will stack up to a maximum of six platforms. The whole system will operate and maintenance by the already existing transportation factory and the new port. The moving bridges and cranes will act like microorganisms around the canal, adapting and creating solutions by themselves and vitalizing its environment. timeline: After activating the canal, the system will react to the whole quarter. As Ist step a new axe between the metro station on the upper level and the canal will appear. This connection will be essential for pedestrians and bicycles. As 2nd step this axe will enlarged to the lower side of the site, removing the physical fences between the universities and Abattoir. It will activate empty spaces and will create a new entrance to Abattoir. As 3rd step a second pair of cranes will be added to extend the system. In the future the system will appear to other parts of Brussels and establish a new distinctive kind of structure in the city.

adapting, activating, resilience: These are the three main themes that has been aimed in bridge sharing. We all know adapting is crucial in the living world, from dinosaurs to the mankind, we saw many species that vanished from the earth just because they were not able to adapt themselves to the newly situations. Bridge sharing has a direct effect on human lives, therefore you can understand it as a living being, the functions along the canal as well as the lives, people, habits are constantly changing. If a bridge cannot adapt itself to the change it will stay as obsolete, pathology element that will have more harm than good to its environment. Using movable industrial elements lets the bridge adapt itself to the environment that constantly changes during the weekdays, which brings us to the second theme activating.

The bridges will work like selective points that connect or extend different functions in different days of the week, this will slowly react and activate the non-places around the canal. When the activation begins, the canal, bridge, and the newly formed places will complement with each other and this will bring a revitalizing era for its environment.

Through activating, a better quality of living around the area will be created and through adapting it will maintain this way, with this whole program the resilience will be achieved. Cities that are able to maintain high quality of life will be and will stay resilient. A resilience that compliments to the different social characteristics.

conclusion: Bridge sharing is a flexible form of connection with different perspectives that can react spontaneously to the current demands of the environment. It gives the opportunity to the user to intervene the city according to their needs. It is a new, flexible and adaptable organism that flows with the rhythm of the city.

The review of our final presentation was very positive: Dealing with the quarter as chance to develop into a flexible area, recognizing the place‘s contingency; this carefully taking into account and intervene with our bridge sharing got affirmative rating.

Overall the Brussels Master Class had a positive experience for myself. Working with international teams, learning from their way of dealing with the architectural problems and city planning was a very effective way of studying. Especially the lectures from the different professionals brought this experience to another level. I would recommend this program to any master student that needs a little push to shape their way of architectural and social thinking.

living climate & comfort: Good thermal insulation properties of the building envelope are essential conditions to achieve a healthy living climate throughout the year. Through the particularly warm inside surfaces of the external components of timber frame constructions, a pleasant living climate is achieved in the cold season at lower ambient air temperatures.

Also in summer the large thermal resistance by highly thermally insulated components slows down the heat flux from the warm outside to the cooler inside, thereby preventing overheating of the rooms. The stiffening hemp concrete blocks, made up of a mixture of loam and hydrated lime, function as heat and sound insulation at the same time and complement the properties of the timber positive.

The internal leaf is made up of insulating light loam bricks and hemp loam mortar. It‘s plastered on the inside with naturally coloured Tadelakt, an indeed waterproof, but still breathable plaster made up of loam, lime and ash. the aggregates hemp hurds provide a thermal conductivity of up to 0.1 W/mK. The high specific heat capacity of the construction achieves a particularly good summer heat protection, because temperature fluctuations are kept low in the interior.

Next to the thermal comfort is also visual comfort to be stressed achieved by soft, natural colours and materials and bright surroundings. The noise and sound-absorbing surfaces and the space organisation provide acoustic comfort.

climate protection: By use of grown natural fibres as building materials no additional CO2 is released into the atmosphere. The extraction of the most components used in timber frame construction takes place without energy-intensive further processing and the construction of building can be done with a minimum of machinery within a short construction period. During the lifetime the building functions as a carbon storage.

Another advantage of timber frame construction: The building can be used flexibly and rebuilt without significant expense. a reuse of the system associated building materials is possible without large energy expenditure through the deconstruction and the disassembly of the building components. A thermal utilization can be carried out as last link in the process chain.

The building is up to 8O% barrier-free and 33% of the land area is unsealed. By adds such as a cistern for rainwater collection, E-filling stations for E-cars & E-bicycles as well as enough bicycle parking space the ecological acting of inhabitants will be supported.

economic efficiency: Glulam as well as solid wood from white fir is to get easily in Feldkirch.

There is large commercial timberland. Usefulness-hemp is cultivated in Austria and more and more used as insulation (e.g. Naporo). Loam, lime and limestone are also local products. Thus the building has a very good eco-balance with cost-effective and environment-friendly building materials from Vorarlberg.

Of particular significance for the efficiency is prefabrication of building elements especially the timber frame components. Through factory prefabrication of wall, ceiling and roof panels the shell construction can be build up in a very short time starting from ground base plate.

It needs just one day to be built up a wind- and waterproof timber frame construction. Then further extension works can be realized within a dry and weather-independent environment. The resulting economic advantage for the private building owner is a short time of double funding of rent and construction. It can be further noted that short times of prefinancing, fast marketability of the building and safe production deadlines may be attractive for investors.

We should also mention the mostly dry construction method, which reduces the risk of building physical damage at the beginning of usage due to construction moisture. longevity: Hemp-concrete is up to seven times stronger, weighs less than half and is three times more flexible than standard concrete. Generally hemp-concrete blocks are conserved for ages as well as not vulnerable through its natural permeability and physical properties in combination with lime. Construction timber from white fir is particularly suitable for outdoor area.

The dry construction method ensures good ventilation and drying.

Walls made of hemp-concrete also act as a natural moisture regulator. Surplus moisture can diffuse through the wall and thereby it prevents that moisture accumulates and mould can form.

Natural impregnating agents as beeswax can solve the problem of durability of tensile strength.

Brand safety can be achieved by adding flame retardants.

The building is thought as dwelling as well as a public institution, this makes it very easy to change the uses. The lightweight construction allows simple reconstructions and the processed materials are also almost completely recyclable. The demolition would be low-cost and comparatively eco-friendly. An optimized building envelope minimizes the user energy demand (heating + cooling) and final energy demand (electricity + ventilation + lighting) and regulates the follow-up costs of the building.

rooted?

A design for the House of History in Vienna: Under the approach history roots our design considers not only history but also contemporary events. The new museum is not only an exhibition space. It should rather act as informative platform and meeting point and creates free education and open space. The entire landscape design of the square is ideal for longer stopping and gathering. To take up the history of the Heldenplatz we create new perspectives on the historic inventory from a walkable roofscape. The design breaks up the symmetrical organisation of the Heldenplatz and fits into the environment through a transparent and unobtrusive design.

The strength of this design is the willingness to further development of the site and the society to create a place of openness for prospective actions. It works as a counterpart to the massive classical and significant Hofburg and symbolizes the path to democracy. The glass facade reflects parts of the existing; in the symmetry axis of the balcony of the New Castle, our structure is interrupted by the Forum. Instead of frontality and dictatorial past the voice of the people comes to the foreground with a seating area in the form of an amphitheatre. The slight difference in level of the seating area directs the flow of visitors of the Heldenplatz automatically into the new structure. The seating steps run flat into the surrounding grass field through that the Forum is reachable from all directions. Our design is inspired by the natural structure of a tree in creative and constructive way. Just like a tree, rooted in the earth, the largest part of the exhibition is in the underground. The main construction is a bright thicket of branching timber columns within a wooden skeleton composite construction.

future scenarios a - vienna, transdanubia, donaustadt

architectural designs

danuPOLIS location: Donaustadt is geographically the largest district of Vienna and has I65 OOO inhabitants.

However, the district is located northeast of the Danube and is thus clearly separated from Vienna.

Donaustadt may be a separate town elsewhere if not for the lack of a town centre. It is both an open city landscape, dominated by agriculture, forest landscape, single family structures and social as well as experimental residential buildings. On the other hand, the skyline of the Uno City is not to be disregarded. Statistics assume that Vienna‘s population will grow in the next I5 years by 25O OOO inhabitants. This happens, where space is available and compression is still possible. This is especially relevant in Donaustadt. The creation of a new town centre for the district is a necessary urban project, which is elaborated in this work.

existance I:IO OOO [m]

danuPOLIS OI.2OI4

Similarly the 26th tram line no longer runs through the square Chernetzplatz, the rails and green buffers are removed and the new building site is equipped with two new office complexes. In the immediate vicinity of the tax office and police, the magistrate gets its new address. The new created urban place is designed with fixed 8m high sunshades; a fountain is planned in the road axis. The surrounding of Chernetzplatz becomes the new economy district.

Since the extension of UI metro the first floor of the depot is no longer needed. In place of it we plan apartment as well as office buildings. The tram depot at the ground level is still in use.

Storage rooms, which are no longer needed are converted into car-to-go and city bike parking spaces. The Japanese theme of the bordering KirschblĂźtenpark flows into our concept.

Within a radius of 64Om around the intersection WagramerstraĂ&#x;e and DonaustadtstraĂ&#x;e a shared space is created with a clear demarcation of material from the rest of the road network. Sidewalks, bike paths and lanes give way to a homogeneous traffic meeting place for all road users.

The green-centre of the road is widened and about 4Ocm buried on the lines of Wadis. On the one hand the new green space is used by tram and on the other hand it creates a pedestrian promenade up to the Danube. CO2 binding plates in a light and a dark shade are selected for the pavement. Departing from the centre the number of dark plates increases. Seating, street lighting, bus stops and information boards are designed in the same style for the entire shared space.

A monolithic building complex consisting of 3 parts creates a new architectural highlight in Kagran.

The functions are a m[useum] Ost, a Theater danuPOLIS and a community centre. The International School of Vienna gets a new, more representative, displaced entrance with a forecourt instead of their private car park. The icerink and the horticultural museum as well as the metro and tram stop are clearly in contact with the new interventions through the shared space. The school garden is increased and becomes a public city park. The plaza design wins new value through high exhibition and street art screens and new town green and seating. The sausage stands are shifted and new designed. Cherry blossom trees and the umbrellas of Chernetzplatz indicate the environment.

architectural designs

The housing estates in the south remain only partially. In particular, the buildings bordering on the intersection give way to mixed building structures of shopping, living and working. Facing the shared space, we situate room for shops and services along a I4 meter high facade. In direction of the single family district, the complex contains terraced apartments.

A smooth transition to the existing structures is the result.

The surrounding developments call for the opening and integration of the shopping mall Donauzentrum in the new city structure. The complex gets dismantled along the internal axes of motion which become shared space. The utilization is mixed with office and residential buildings. In the East, a new urban space, the Donauplatz square becomes the new market place of danuPOLIS. The housing is compressed horizontally by mixed construction of office and residential buildings. Existing buildings are thermally rehabilitated- roofs are planted.

The magistrate needs its own building and separates from VHS (adult education centre). The VHS expands to the entire complex as well as to the AI-building. Both buildings are thermally rehabilitated. The square Schrรถdingerplatz itself becomes attractive by sitting steps and new landscape design. A new library is replacing the existing car park in the south. It emerges an educational district. danuPOLIS OI.2OI4

explanation of the planning phases: In order to develop a future scenario for Donaustadt, we have formulated certain assumptions for future developments of urban life in Vienna. The time period is divided into three development phases, which are assigned to construction stages.

architectural designs

phase I will be executed in the near future. We make the assumption that, because of the rapidly increasing population, residential space will be limited, leading to the necessity of horizontal and vertical compaction of existing structures. Additionally, new laws pertaining to structural requirements of buildings arise continuously and furthermore, climate protection is at the forefront of political-social development. Hence, a large part of existing urban landscape must be repurposed. With the growing population, new climate change laws and rising oil prices, public transport will be further expanded, remodeled and adapted to the latest technology, while private transport decreases. Various parking lots, parking garages and depots will become superfluous leading to the possibility of new adaptations. Furthermore, the need for educational facilities and office space is growing. phase 2 includes the adjustments of the existing infrastructure to the newly adapted conditions. We find ourselves in a future scenario that requires little private transport and makes multi-lane roads superfluous. Rather, it is of the interest of urban development to give the street space to the public in form of an attractive community space, in which a functioning new city centre can be established.

The restructuring also includes a shift, or enlargement of the town green. Public transport is adapted to the changing axes of motion and unused rail networks are degraded. These developments create new open spaces and building sites. On the one hand they are used for new residential and office buildings, but mostly for non-profit, cultural buildings and public urban space to create effective formative hotspots. phase 3 includes the restructuring and integration of existing urban landscape in the scenario as required, due to the surrounding developments. The developed concept is a district center of Donaustadt, which allows a stable growth to the periphery without drawing focus from the new core.

This is how Donaustadt would convert idle urban landscape to a centered, orderly space that can hold the future state requirements. The project conclusion is deliberately left open ended, since we do not consider urban development as a finite project.

traditional living structures historical loam villages of chahu: In February 2OI5 a group of students, professors and members of the Institute of History of Art, Building Archaeology and Restoration from TU Vienna travelled to the south of Iran. Together with students from all over Iran and the Iranian Cultural group Ivan we made a research about the traditional constructions on Qeshm Island.

In Chahu Shargi and Gharbi, what means East and West Chahu, we have done site measurements.

Our research shows fundamental principles of how the people build and live here. It’s a shame that the palm gardens and huge courtyards are no longer important for the date cultivation. Migration to larger cities of the younger people had led to the loss of knowledge of their own culture. Nobody take care of the palm gardens anymore and the palms are dying. An open green space, which was meeting point and part of the social structure for all inhabitants of the village vanishes into thin air.

At the same time, the old people are too tired to work anymore and the young don’t know how to construct in a traditional way. Therefore you find a lot of new concrete brick structures added to the historical structures. New houses have small courtyards without space for date palms. Also the wind towers are replaced through air conditioning systems at every corner. The origin summer room is often changed into a storage. Nevertheless a lot of the old village structure survived and there are some persons, like the mayor, who try to reawaken the interest in their cultural heritage.

palm garden house palm gardens of chahu gharbi: It takes about IO minutes to walk from the village to the palm gardens and the quite few structures around. People don’t live here anymore but in the past it was a very important place to the villagers. They used to spend their summers in the shades of the palms.

But beside the pleasant temperature the main reason for them to spend their summer here was because every family had its own date farm and they took care of it. In the season when the dates were ripe, the whole family came to help. They brought water from the village and stayed in the palm garden structures.

The village people had created their houses, where usually every house had 2 rooms and around 7 to 8 people stayed there. They cooked outside by making a round hole for the fire with 3 stones around it and made a structure to hold the pot up. The earth to build the houses was basically from the soil of the garden and they mixed it with hay from their farms and stones that were brought with camels from the mountain. All of the houses are made of 3 materials: Earth, hay and stones.

A big problem in this area was and still is the frequency of the earthquakes, because of the active plate underneath.

Nowadays, because nobody is taking care of the farms, the palms are dying and the farms for hay don’t even exist anymore. In the whole village, only one person is left which knows how to build that kind of house but he is too old to work.

house under construction This house in Chuhu Shargi was at the moment under construction and because of that it was inhabited. The very small sabat structure showed that its residents weren’t very wealthy people.

The wind tower was located in the oldest part of the house, but also under construction. For better circulation of the wind, there were small windows in the lower side of the wall inside this room.

The bathroom and the restroom were part of the old structures and located on the other side of the courtyard, divided from the living structures. Same as in the other visited houses, through new added parts they were all connected together. The new structures are made of new materials. In the east, they are building a new part of house. It is a pure concrete stone structure.

We had a chance to interview the grandson of the owners of the house Ali. Ali was a 2O year old student, studying in Azad University. The house was old and nobody was living there anymore, but before there were living 5 people, 4 of which were male and 1 female. The people of this house were all fishermen.

The people in this house lived here for 5O years. He didn‘t know exactly who built the house, but he said that definitely were the people from the village. The most important room in the house was the living room with the wind tower. In summer they spent most of their time in the summer room with the wind tower.

For building this house they used mud, hay, local stones, sandal wood and date palm leaves from the ceiling, but only the doors were new from metal. Almost all the materials were from the village, only the wood was brought from India. Through the years new rooms were added to the house. For keeping the house undamaged, they used to cover the walls with cement and chips or bricks and hay. In summer the house stayed cool, because they had a wind tower. Right now the wind tower didn’t function and it was under reconstruction.

The representative of the village was Ali Rehimi. The main source of income in the village was fishing.

They had electricity in the village and for water supplies they used tanks. Each house had a separate sewage system. In the village there was an elementary and primary school, a physician, but for shopping they had to go to other cities like Dulab or Ramkan and there are 2 mosques in the village.

traditional courtyard house This house, located in Chahu Gharbi, was different from the other houses we had seen. It is around 6O years old. The courtyard is surrounded by a high wall to protect the privacy. Also an additional wall in the western side of the entrance is build to shield the view of the private inside from the outsiders.

This structure is especially important for the women, because inside the house they don‘t wear the chador.

The oldest part of the house is the bar in the north, where the entire family had lived until the east part was built, when a child of the family had married. Traditionally the living structures were located in the northern side of the yard with the doors directed to the south side. They were facing the sun because of ventilation and hygiene (to kill bacteria by heat).

In the past there were only 2 rooms: a summer room and a winter room. The wind tower was located in the summer room. There were always people in the village who in summer didn‘t go to the palm gardens and they used these summer rooms. The toilet and the bathroom were located apart from the living rooms. But through the added structures, they are now all connected to the living structures. In the southern side there are smaller structures used as stables and compounds for the animals. The water reservoir is located in the west side near the entrance. The position is different to the other houses we had seen, we guess because of the accessabilty in the huge yard.

One of the reasons that the village people had big yards was to collect rain water with a special channel system. They use it as drink water. However the main reason for having a big yard in this and other villages on Qeshm Island was the need for space for their date palms. At one side of the courtyard they still put locks on the floor with palm leaves on top of it to make sleeping places for the summer nights. They make the structure detached from the ground for natural ventilation and for protection against snakes and scorpions.

An interview with the brother of the governor. Thank you very much! „What is the meaning of Chahu?” „Chahu consists of two words: Chah which means well and Hoo which means water in old language. So, Chahu means the wells of water.” „Which village are we visiting today?” „Today we are going to visit East Chahu, which is located between the mountain and the sea. Currently the population is 12OO. In West Chahu they are living 6OO people.” „Where these two villages from the beginning separated?” „As long as I remember it was always separated. They are mountains is in-between the villages. Back in the old days they lived on the mountains because of safety reasons and it was easier for them. And at that time the lived in the same tribe, but later got separated in two villages.” „Do these two villages belong together?” „No, we have different mayor, but the people are relatives, so we always go between the two villages. But the entire infrastructure is different.” „How is the village modified?” „So the village has been modified during different time of period, but now the village contains two different typologies: houses that are located in the palm gardens and the ones that are located in the village.” „What kind of houses can we see in this village?” „In the village itself there are two different kinds of houses: small structure house and big open houses. Some of them are smaller and closed and others are open and big. Because of the culture here every house has a room that is very private and it’s only for the members of the family and other people can’t go inside the room.

But the other rooms are semi private so other people can enter.” „How are the houses arranged?” „The old house always remains the same and there are new parts added to it. The new structures are usually addition so they don’t destroy the old one. They are building new part according to what they want to use it for. For example now they have bathroom in a different system so we build a new one. And now the village is starting to become famous for the tourists, they are starting to add rooms around the courtyard so that they are able to house the tourists. And also it depends on the job we do. For example if someone is a doctor or an engineer, they modify the house according to their need. Previously it was mostly focused for the farming purposes and for the fisherman.”

„What about now?” „They are still a lot of people who are fisherman, but they are starting to convert to tourist hobs, because now it’s becoming famous.” „What are the reasons that the village is changing?” „One of the reasons of the change of the air fabric here is that the families are more tending toward being circular and they start to live separately from the parents and the other family members. So now they are building smaller houses and that is why the fabric is breaking into smaller pieces.” „How is the village changed from before?” „Because of the new technological advancement, now a lot of people are adapting to the new building futures, so the old architecture is vanishing.

Now we don’t have to build the houses like they did in the past. For example the rooms don’t have to be cold and also it doesn’t have to have open space. In the old fabric you may see that the houses were small and the gardens were big. Because previously we used this space a lot for farming or palm growing trees and we also had our own farm animals in the house. But now the use is more the less, so the house has become bigger and gardens smaller.” „What is the reason they are building the houses in a linear form?” „The reason that they are building the houses linear is because of the economic reason. Because this way they can share the sharing wall that is caring the load and it’s also cheaper for them to build it like that.” „How is the mosque located in the city?” „Usually according to the public density, in a populated are they put the mosque in the center so everyone has right access to it easily. Now they are two mosques in the village but in the future we want to have one more.” „Where do you get the electricity from?” „The entire island gets the electricity from Bandar Abas, which is on the other site of the shore. It comes through the electric polls in this site and they are all connected on the same grid.”

„What about water? Do you have your own system or there is a public system?” „Now we are not connected in any outside source. In this village we had our own wells and even some of the other villages came here and collected the water from here. But currently we are using the desalinating machines to make the water drinkable. We use the sea water to desalinate and drink.” „The other village had only a primary school. What about this village?” „We don’t have a high school but we have primary & secondary school. This village is a bit more advanced than the other.”

„And what is about a doctor or a physician?” „We have a doctor who is always here but it’s a small facility. If we need a proper medical care we go to the other village which is 5km distance.” „How many tourists are coming here yearly?“ „Because of the Geopark ‘Chahkooh’, which is one of the most famous parks in Quesm Island, there are a lot of tourists. And this village is on the way, so approximately every day at least 100 people are passing. There are also foreigners and Iranian.” „Is there a restaurant or a guesthouse?” „Some of the villages around here have restaurants, but there aren’t any guest houses.” „What if people want to spend the night around here?” „If there is space all of the people are willing to allow a person to stay over. There is no specific place dedicated for this purpose and there is also a shortage for that now.” „How can people know if they can stay here?” „Now there is no proper system for that. They can just ask the people in the villages or the people at the Geopark.”
