Generell: urban desing: Das größte Stadterweiterungsprojekt Europas mit der Zukunftsidee eine Region zu stärken die länderübergreifend entwickelt werden soll. Reisbrettstadtplanung unter Hoheit der Europäischen Union. Als Grundlage der symbolisch, konservative Masterplan des Architekten Tovatts. Schritt_1: essentielle Modifikation des Mp.: von der Seestadt zur Kanalstadt, aus der Ebene in Richtung Hanglage. In einem direkten Vergleich, Dichte und Größe zwischen dem Masterplans Asperns und dem west Zentrum Amsterdams fällt der Unterschied zwischen urbanem und ländlichem Flair extreme ins Auge. Der Vorschlag also. Verdichten und den im Zentrum gelegenen „See“ gegen Kanalsysteme zu tauschen, diese mit direktem Wasser der Donau zu verbinden und Gewässer gegen Grünfläche umwandeln. Den Aushub der Kanäle dazu verwenden eine spannende Landschaft zu modellieren, Klammen, Schluchten und Hügel, um für das Stadterweiterungsgebiet ein starkes Image zu branden.

(soft urban renewal) in cooperation with SOHO in Ottakring (art project festival). Dimensions: Approximately 7000 inhabitants, 0.2km².
Description The complex now hosting the ‘MuseumsQuartier’ (MQ) was originally the Emperor’s horse stables built in 1725, after the First World War until 1998 it was Vienna’s fair ground. Following on a circuitous planning process, the MQ opened in 2001. Today the area consists of 3 major museums, a variety of smaller contemporary art spaces, various cultural organizations and a broad open chill out area in the courtyard. The MQ, intended as a counter weight to Vienna’s overwhelming historical monuments, meant to transport contemporary art and to be a focal point for 21st century creative issues. In terms of city planning and architecture the complex lay under constant siege of the monument protection and faced various planning problems (e.g. capping of the height of the buildings, omission of rear entrances, lack of barrier-free accesses, poor design of front door area and no open call for bids) – resulting in a baroque fortress with its piazza. While the piazza functions well as a public space, it faces daily struggles between the Facility Management, the gastronomy and, a suspiciously homogeneous, urban youth. In short the MQ shows how projects at such a scale are approached and dealt with in Austria.
Description / Reason for this choice / Background context: The Brunnenviertel is a small part of the 16th district (Ottakring), located at the west of the city center. Nowadays the former working class neighborhood holds a high share of immigrant population (40%). Until the mid-1990s the area was affected by disinvestment and had a bad reputation. As

Description / Reason for this choice / Background context Aspern is one of the biggest urban expansion areas in Europe. A new district for housing, science, art, leisure and innovative projects is planned and promoted under the slogan ‚work-life-balance’. Urban design shall be modern and flexible and at the same time based on ecological and social criteria and provide space for future inhabitants from different generations and origins to ‘realize their dreams’. The idea for the project emerged in the course of the EU-eastern enlargement in 2004, in order to create a new prestige project as a solution for the growing society. At the same time the new urban development is part of the City of Vienna’s effort to engage in the new cross-border region CENTROPE and create a visible link between Vienna and Bratislava. Significance for New Metropolitan Mainstream The projection of the new town Aspern creates a new utopian model space to imagine ideal “new ways of living” – which is powerfully filled with dominant conceptions of normativity (little bit open society.., but still closed). At the same time it expresses a strong commitment by the City of Vienna to the development of a competitive, prospering and growing metropolitan region CENTROPE in which Vienna is seen as a nodal point. And the construction of the new district is closely linked to the extension of the subway line (U2) – and vice versa. Stakeholders and their interests Beside the City of Vienna, who focuses on the masterplan and the subway extension, and apart from some families and the technological park, where the Vienna University of Technology holds the majority, it is not clear right now who the stakeholders will be altogether, because especially in the second of three building legs, starting in 2015, a lot of private investment is flowing into the project. Deals There is a crucial deal between the City of Vienna and the ASFINAG (Austrian Highway Building Company). After a new ecological law was enacted, the costs for the projected highway connection exploded (from 428 million up to more than one billion euro) – which provoked a conflict whether the completion could be guarantied until 2016. There are as well some deals made at the tertiary sector with the Vienna University of Technology. Yet, until now, the aim of these deals apparently is to promote the whole project towards new potential users. Impacts As the project is only in its planning stage, possible impacts can only be estimated theoretically. However, it could have an enormous regional and international, positive or negative impact on Vienna in the future.
After the demolition of the former dead-end station (Südbahnhof) a central through station will be constructed. The project includes new track orientation, the adjacent “BahnhofsCity” (shopping, gastronomy, hotels, parking, services, offices, entertainment) and a mayor urbanisation (housing, offices) of Austrian Rail estate (former freight terminal). The project has strategic significance in two important ways. First, being part of the nation wide programme “Bahnhofsoffensive” it aims to trigger urban development through enlargement and modernisation of railway station buildings. And second, embedded in the City of Vienna’s effort to leave behind its dead-end position from the Cold War times and play an active and competitive role as a nodal point in Central Europe, the project performs also a visual integration into the Trans-European Network (TEN. This ambition is also related to Vienna’s engagement in building up a CENTROPE region. Meanwhile the infrastructural significance remains questionable. Instead of improving the subway system (subway passes at long walking distance), an expensive cable liner (automated people mover) is planned to connect the subway station, the railway station and the new neighbourhood. And throughout the country deficitary lines are closed down.

the built environment and to generate internationally recognised flagships of modernity often conflicts with concerns to preserve the historic monuments (often protected by UNESCO historical heritage status), which (both) serve as as selling factors for tourists. The Brunnenviertel is a recent example, how a revaluation process of a neighbourhood is powerfully pushed forward with `creative city`, “creative class” and “diversity” features – and at the same time cushioned and legitimised by echoing constantly “there is no gentrification in Vienna because of soft urban renewal”. The projected urban expansion area `Seestadt Aspern` expresses the dedication of the city to prosper and grow physically and perform its nodal function in the cross-border region CENTROPE (comprising czech, slowakian, hungarian and austrian regions) also via the built environment. At the same time the therewithin featured ways of modern “modell-living” focus on innovative features, while being deeply rooted in conservative ways of living (white, middle-class families). The central railway station looks like a bad copy of (contested) international experiences (other central station projects or the Berlin Potsdamer Platz) and expresses the urge to get rid of historical images of inner and outer periphery and, instead, orchestrate modernity and competitiveness. Also striking is its neglect for infrastructural considerations (while being an infrastructure project) combined with a large-scale urbanisation project. After the financial crisis and consecutively heavy bank saving programmes, since 2010 the well known discourses of household consolidation is back on the political agenda and reperformed – much emphasis being put on cuts in social expenditures and limiting abuse of social welfare. In the context of upcoming local elections, the politisation of social security issues is mainly pushed forward in a nationalistic way by the right-wing party, countered by the socialdemocrats only by populistic and symbolical inclusionary actions (like pro forma plebicits on secondary issues). In this context the further cut down of socially inclusive projects, while focussing on flagship projects and a politics of international competitiveness can be expected.

Generell: Der überwiegend von türkischen und marokkanischen Einwanderern bewohnte Amsterdamer Stadtteil Slotervaart ist im Umbruch - dank couragierter Sozial- und Bildungsprogramme und der Sanierung ganzer Straßen- und Gebäudezügen. Der Bürgermeister des Stadtteils, Ahmed Marcouch zumsammen mit DRO mussten nach den wüssten Ausschreitungen, 2007 die entbrannten als Jugendlicher durch die Polizei erschossen wurde, handeln. Interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgruppen wurden gebildet und VenhoevenCS wurde beauftrag einen der sozialen Brennpunkte, Amsterdam Lelylaan, einen Infrastrukturknoten bei dem sich Bahn, Metro, Tram und Busverkehr überschneiden, neu zu überdenken.
Die durch die Hochbahn darunter liegenden dunklen, unheimlichen Bereiche wurden mehrmals Ziel von Übergriffen junger Amsterdamer. Vor allem diese Bereiche sollten durch die architektonische Eingriffe mehr soziale Kontrolle verliehen werden. Auch vermehrt sollten Dienstleistungsbetriebe und Einzelhandel angesiedelt werden deren Eigentümer migrantischen Hintergrund haben. Von uns wurde verschiedenen Konzepte erarbeitete wie die Architektur auf die Problematik reagiert und konstruktive Vorschläge liefern kann. Im folgenden: Präsentationsimages aus der Studie:

Generell: Hoek van Holland zu Deutsch „das Eck Hollands“ ist der westlichste Punkt der Niederlande und Stadtteil Rotterdams. Es ist eine kleine Ortschafft die dennoch ihre Wichtigkeit erlangt, denn sie liegt an der Mündung des Nieuwe Waterweg, eine Wasserstraße die Rotterdam und die Nordsee verbindet. In der Ortschaft kann man die „Zichtflats“ fast von jedem Punkt aus erkennen denn die drei 40meter hohen Gebäude überragen alles weitere in der flachen Landschaft. Um den, durch Abzug und Überalterung gekennzeichnete Population der Gebäude, neues Leben einzuhauchen wurde verschieden Strategien entwickelt um dieses Gebiet wie auch die Bauwerke für eine jüngeres Publikum interessanter zu machen.

Model1: extended urban morphology RENDER: testing the area, pedestrian view
Zuerst zum Areal: Nördlich der Zichtflats verläuft eine Landschaftspark der sich zungenartig zwischen die Zichtflats durch leckt aber durch die geparkten Autos unterbrochen wird. Die Parkplätze die rund um die Wohnungen situiert sind beanspruchen überdurchschnittlich viel Platz. Weiteres fehlt es an Versorgungseinrichtungen für Pensionisten und an Nahversorgern, dass es den Bewohnern vor allem den Älteren schwer macht in den Zichtflats zu leben. Zu Letzt sein noch die Witterungseinflüsse genannt denn die Nordsee treibt starken Wind an Land. Das ergab der erste Schritt unserer Analyse. Danach wurde das Gebiet städtebaulich getestet. 4 Konzepte wurden angedacht und getestet. Ausbreiten der bestehenden Zichtflats, verdichten, akupunktieren und ein hybrides bzw. kompaktes Modell. Alle 4 Konzepte wurden auf verschiedenen Ebenen getestet und der Woningbouwvereniging und den Bewohnern in „mitdenk Workshops“ präsentiert und diskutiert. Das gewählte und zur weiteren Bearbeitung gewählte Modell ist eine Mischung aus Ausbreiten und Verdichten.

MASTERPLAN OMA
Generell: Aufbauend auf den entworfenen Masterplan den das Rotterdamer Büro O.M.A. für das Gebiet „Stadionplein“ in Amsterdam Oudzuid entworfen hatte wurde VenhoevenCS beauftragt die Nachnutzung rund um das Gebiet des Stadions inklusiv der 2 Monumente neu zu überdenken denn der Vorschlag des Rotterdamer Büros war für Dienst Ruimtelijke Ordening nicht befriedigend. Die Monumente die 1920 zusammen mit dem Olympiastadion erbaut wurden stehen unter Denkmalschutz und bedürfen einer sanften aber dennoch progressiven Erneuerung. Das Gebiet wurde auf den folgenden Ebene getestet: urban, verdichten oder landschaftlich, vernetzten. Die Entscheidung fiel auf eine Variante bei der hinter den Monumenten elegante, schlanke Bürogebäude platziert wurden die von der Straße aus gut sichtbar erscheinen und die 2 Monumente betonen und in neues Licht rücken. Verstärkt wurde das Ganze mit einer Medienfassade die das Stadterneuerungsgebiet besonders betonen sollen. Das nördliche der 2 historischen Gebäude wurde zum Vorplatz hin geöffnet und der darunter liegende Keller freigelegt um den 100 Jahre alten, klassischen Modernismus (genau genommen Amsterdam Schule) wieder neues Leben einzuhauchen und eine extra, öffentliche Ebene einzuziehen. Damit wird auch die im inneren liegende Rampe freigelegt die die Fassade besonders betont und der Allgemeinheit zugänglich gemacht. Das südliche Gebäude wurde aufgestockt und sanft revitalisiert. Für Nachnutzungsvorschläge wurden 2 Konzepte erarbeitet: Kulturelle Einrichtung bzw. Dienstleister.

Generell: Mit geliehenen Strategien, mitunter der visuellen Anthropologie, versucht Eyes on|of Tarlabasi die Wahrnehmung der Bewohner über ihr Viertel, ihr Tarlabasi, festzuhalten. Essentiell ist der bottom- up Ansatz bei dem die Bewohner, die ‚Eyes OF‘ zu Fotografen werden und ihr tägliches Leben (sozial wie physisch) per Fotokamera festhalten. Die Fotointerviews, Freestyle Interviews und Observationen sind per Videokamera festgehalten und analysiert worden. Das Gegenstück dazu bildet ‚Eyes ON‘ Tarlabasi bei dem die Bewohner der umliegenden Viertel befragt wurden:“was sie denn über Tarlabasi denken“, um der extremen Stigmatisierung des Bezirkes etwas näher zu kommen. Mittels Videokamera wurden diese Interviews und Eindrücke dokumentiert und editiert. Das Ganze ist als eine synchrone Interviewdokumentation & als SHORT (Kurzfilm) aufbereitet und wurde das erste Mal bei SOHO in Ottakring 2010 präsentiert.

Generell: Das Thema des Kunst und Kulturfestivals „SOHO in Ottakring 2010“ lautete: „KICKE THE HABIT/ pfeif drauf! Ventil Rassismus- das einen passenden Rahmen für unsere visuelle urbane Recherche aus Istanbul bot. Der Ausstellungsort, die Hubergasse 9 in 1160 erschien uns wie geschaffen. Einer der wichtigsten Faktoren, das der Raum im Erdgeschoß liegt und den Bewohnern Ottakrings, Kindern und Erwachsenen, wie den Besuchern des Festivals leichten Einblick und Zugang in unsere Arbeite bereitet wurde erfüllt. Das zu renovierenden Haus, das zu der Zeit bis auf eine Partei leer stand, konnte auf jedem Stockwerk verschiedene Künstler, Ausstellungen und Aktionen beherbergen. Der Charme der Räume blieb erhalten und wir konnten unsere 3 Zimmer Wohnung plus Vorraum, Küche und Innenhof entsprechend animieren. Ein harter Beton- Ziegelmix in Raum1 rahmte die Videoinstallation und tauchte diese in ein urbanes Flair. Raum2, dekoriert mit alten, gelben Tapeten und morschen, dunkelbraunen Schiffboden eignete sich fließend für ‚Eyes OF‘ und den Blick der Menschen aus Tarlabasi’s auf ihr Viertel. Raum#3 stand uns zur Verfügung für „das Sensitive Auge“ das wir während des Festivals mit 100 Kindern und Jugendlichen aus Ottakring gestalteten. Dieses Projekt versucht die unglaubliche, kulturelle Vielfalt der jungen Bewohner Ottakrings zu durchleuchten und zu displayen.

EXHIBITION by the youngstars
Generell: Zusammen mit 3 Schulen in 1160 Wien, 4 Klassen und über 100 Kindern wurde das Projekt „das sensitive Auge“ gestartet. An Bord die Kooperative Mittelschule der Brüßlgasse, öffentliche Volksschule Gaulachergasse und öffentliche Volksschule Grundsteingasse. Unser Projekt ‚Das Sensitive Auge’, gibt der Öffentlichkeit und uns die Chance, subjektive Eindrücke festzuhalten und diese zu teilen und zu argumentieren. In Schulklassen mit einem Migrationsanteil bis zu 100% vermischt die eigene wie die fremde, österreichische, Kultur und vice versa. Das war unsere Recherchefrage bzw. Ansatzpunkt aus dieser wir rausfinden wollten:“ was bedeutet Österreich für euch und wie erkennt ihr die eigene und andere Kulturen im öffentlichen Raum?“ Während dem Projekt bekamen die Kinds und Jugendlichen Einwegkameras und mittels verschiedener Aufträge sollten sie ihre Umgebung festhalten. Beim Einprägen blieb es aber nicht. Wichtig war das Argumentieren der gemachten Bilder, der Austausch zwischen den unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen und das Bewusstwerden der eigenen, sehr persönlichen Wahrnehmung vor allem unter einander in den Klassen. Die Resultate wurden bei SOHO in Ottakring ausgestellt und die Kids freuten sich, zusammen mit ihren Eltern, ihre erste eigene Vernissage zu besuchen.
Projekt Beschreibung Titel: …der zerstörerische Weg einer werdenden „Weltstadt“… ::WIDE & CLOSE:: Projekt: Fotodocumentation-urban renewal area Shanghai- Location_ Hongkou District- LinpingLu 333 /SipingLU Jahr: 2007
Die Fotoarbeit untersucht die unterschiedlichen Ebenen der Verdrängung, Zerstörung und anschließenden urbanen Verdichtung des Viertels Hongkou. Symbolisch steht der chinesische Karakter chāi [gespr. tschai]. Das Zeichen bedeutet „etwas abreisen“ und in ganz China werden Gebäude, deren Abriss beschlossene Sache ist, mit diesem Charakter symbolisch markiert. Das zweite, plastische, Symbol ist das Modell der Stadterweiterung. Die farbigen Festkörper bestehen bereits, die transparenten sind in Planung bzw. in der Ausführung. Die weiteren Bilder zeigen das Gebiet und den Kampf der verbliebenen Bewohner. Fenster und Türen, der demolierten Wohnhäuser, werden verwendet um sich ein Territorium abzustecken. Krebsartige Geschwüre wachsen an den verbliebenen Fassaden und Dächern empor. Ein Kampf um Raum der den Bewohnern gerade erst genommen wurde und den sie sich zurück erobern. Romantisierend verdeckt die frisch gewaschene Wäsche die Gegenwehr der Bürger gegen die Verdrängung. Wer darf bleiben- Wer muss weichen. High Speed Urbanismus: Shanghai, China im 21ten Jahrhundert.

Titel: NO LoGo Projekt: Interior Design, Ausstattung eines Bekleidungsladens in einer Shanghaier Shopping Street- Huai Hai Lu Jahr: 2007 Universität: College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University- Shanghai, China
Generell: Popmusik, Autos, Lichter, Gerüche, Geräusche, Menschen, Menschen und noch mehr Menschen das zeichnet die Huai Hai Lu aus. Eine Shopping Street nach Shanghaier Maßstäben. Modernisiert, Westernisiert, wiederholt „high speed Urbanisierung in China“. Die Aufgabenstellung des College of Architecture war es das Interior eines 100M2 Fashion- Shops zu entwerfen. Die Aufgabe die ich mir stellte war folgende:“ wie bekommt man die Passanten in den Shop? Wie erregt ein kleiner Laden Aufmerksamkeit in einer so Licht und Sound überfluteten Straße?“ Das Konzept das ich mir zu Recht bastelte war folgendes: No Logo, Naomi Klein´s Manifest gegen die Globalisierung, gemischt mit low tech art aus Berlin von F. Eyl und G. Green (Aperture). Dezente Geräusche, aparte Lichter die über Sensoren den Bewegungsablauf vorbei schreitender Passanten „capturen“ und diesen an die Shop- Fassade projizieren. Dabei sehen sich die vorbei strömenden Besucher der Huai Hai Lu in Echt- Zeit oder in Slow- Motion, vergrößert oder verkleinert im Schaufenster. Der Gehsteig wird zur Spielfläch, Understatement zum Eyecatcher, das Schaufenster zum Catwalk und die Passanten zu Kunden. Die Idee genau das Gegenteil zu tun um sich Aufmerksamkeit zu veschaffen, frei nach dem Slogan:“ the opposit may also be true.“
