+ The task was to design a study- and research center in a commercial area, where an exhibition area, a workshop area, a cafeteria and the administration were to be integrated. The form of a praline served as inspiration. Behind an alluring cover hides the delicious core, i.e. a compact core was developed to suit all needs. This central structure is coated by a facade which serves as a protective skin and allows the thermal partition.

+ The idea of the design was a based on loose foliage, as found everywhere near trees in autumn. From this image the pavilion, located at the bank of the river Manzanares in Madrid, was developed. The intention was to revitalize the soul of the district and to create a common meeting point for the residents. wall unit

+ The area of the ‚Schindler-Award 2008’ is located in the city center of Vienna and is also the intercept point of four different districts. The weaknesses of this area are the surrounding multi-lane roads and the resulting noise pollution, as well as the metro passing through the area, the in parts diffuse surroundings, and the ground being polluted by toxins. The big strengths are the parks and the ‘Green Belt’ on the east side. In order to bolster up the advantages of the area, to compensate the weaknesses, and to create an attractive living and activity area, the ‘Green Belt’ will be continued as far as the west side. This ‘Green Belt’ is designed to offer enough room for walkways through the area, to plant vegetation, for noise protection and to allow for the access for the demanded ‘Community Center’, ‘Business’ and ‘Residential’. masterplan

The German City of Forchheim searched for a new way to use the old public swimming pool, as well as for the fallow area near the old battlement. The idea of the design was to afďŹ liate the loft-apartments in the south of the park and to erect the building in the north around the swimming pool. site plan

+ As the U.S. Forces pull out of parts of Germany, many barracks in the cities are being abandoned. The approach was to string the buildings in a parallel position like freight trains. Subsequently, laboratories or storage buildings can be connected to the single buildings. In the west of the area three pavilions present a meeting point for laborers and visitors.

concept idea
+ The planning area – the former winterdock – used to serve as a dock for shipping in Magdeburg. Characteristically for that time were the ships transporting goods for the heavy industry. On the historical photograph one can see such ships, which are pulled through the water consecutively like on a string. This picture was the inspiration to arrange the buildings in a similar archetype. In the same manner as the ships, the structure was to be continued like on a string. This form, sliding from the bank into the water, is not only a historical figure of the shipping in Magdeburg, but also connects the land with the inner harbor and furthermore links the existing buildings with the newly constructed “Living-slab” for students.
