MAKERHOUSE team assignment I w 2014 I 2015 I s 2014 2 I 3. Ma Aachen, Germany Workspace byI for students Univ.-Prof. Dipl.Ing Peter Russell www.makerhouse.rwth-aachen.de
RWTH Aachen is the largest technical university in Germany. Nevertheless, only 3000 students of 40 400 get a workspace. The solution is makerhouse. It provides students the oppurtunity to build their own sustainable „work cube“ in any given urban context. A CNC milling machine can produce all the parts of a makerhouse. With a simple manual and few people, the house can be assembled with basic tools in a short time. It works with a simple modular-based structure: milled plywood frames. The basic makerhouse is built out of 17 frames, offering workspaces for eight students. The structure can be equiped with additional elements depending on the specific urban requirements. The sky is the limit!

LOW-COST HOUSING master thesis I summer 2015 4. Ma Havana, Cuba Family housing Univ.-Prof. Dipl.Ing Peter Russell
Currently Latin America and the Carribean are marked by an extremely high social inequality, seen as half of the population is qualified as poor and a fifth of it as extremely poor. This is especially evident in the bad conditions that the population is forced to call „home“. Another negative factor contributing to the poor quality of the built environment are the extreme weather conditions in form of hurricanes and floodings. The main idea of this project is the development of sustainable and cost-efficient housing which provides shelter from the elements and is based on simple DIY construction principles. Each housing unit consists of two used 20‘ shipping containers surrounded by a lightweight bamboo construction.

ROOFTOP LABS individual assignment I winter 2013 I 2014 1. Ma Aachen, Germany Laboratory Univ.-Prof. Dipl.Ing Peter Russell
The project consists in the raising of the attic level of the IBAC-building in Aachen by one storey and the creation of new laboratory work spaces. The prominent roof represents and embodies the technical expertise of the research facility. It offers a solution that meets the technical and scientific requirements of the RWTH University. The faรงade of the vertical extension is fully glazed and uses U-shaped window elements with integrated transparent insulation (clear channel glass). The complexity of the project is mostly due to the special workplace regulations for laboratories; the laws of fire protection; and the limiting factor of the supporting structure of the existing building.

AUDITORIUM team assignment I summer 2011 4. Ba Aachen, Germany Public building Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. H. Schneider
The number of students which enroll the RWTH-University increases steadily year by year, which consequently leads to a shortage of educational facilities and auditoria in particular. In order to meet the constantly rising needs for more space, the university suggests that provisional constructions should be created as part of the campus extension in Melaten. The project at hand consists of a main grand auditorium with 400 places as well as three smaller auditoria with a 100 places each. In addition, auxiliary facilities like foyers and technical rooms for the ventilation, the mechanical, and the electrical systems are integrated into the design.

PAVILLON team assignment I winter 2010 3. Ba Aachen, Germany Mixed use Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. H. Schneider
The idea of the project is the creation of a multi-purpose space which will serve commercial and exhibition purposes. The 180 square metres offer an open floor plan without the use of separating elements like wall pannels and doors. The purpose of this exercise is the use of wood for the supporting structure as well as for the pre-fabrication of the facade elements. Two sides of the building consist of opaque ventilated facade elements which stiffen the structure against wind forces. The openable windows are elegantly integrated into the structural grid whilst adding an interesting motive to the otherwise simple and linear facade.

REFUGEE HOUSING bachelor thesis I summer 2012 6. Ba Cologne, Germany Social Housing Univ.-Prof. Ir. Wim van den Bergh
Migration is a global phenomenon which has become particularly evident in the past years. There is not a single country which hasn’t been marked by immigrational and emmigrational flows across its borders as well as within the limits of the country itself. With approx. 7.3 million migrants Germany ranks at 3rd place after the USA and Russia. The aim of this project is the creation and design of refugee housing within the inner city limits of Cologne. A central element of the functional programme is the integration of multi-purpose and cooking areas which can be used by the occupants in order to create social bonds within an environment which is new and unknown to them.

AT THE BORDER team assignment Iwinter 2011 U I 2012 5. Ba Aachen, Germany Urban housing project Dipl.-Ing. Prof. Rolf Westerheide
The purpose of the integrated project “City & Landscape” is the urban integration of ideas and measures for the development of the area at the germano-dutch border in Aachen. Entitled “A new neighborhood between neighbours”, it is an urban design which is marked by an adequate integration into the built context and the creation of clearly defined public spaces and green areas . It is a project born by the necessity for housing development as part of the future extension of the university campus which includes the option for a new tram line connecting the two towns. This is also seen as an opportunity to reunite the two neighbouring towns of Aachen (DE) and Vaals (NL) in a homogenous urban tissue.
