Durch meine frühe Konfrontation mit digitalen Darstellungsmöglichkeiten an der HTL und Universität bemerkte ich früh die immensen Vorteile solcher Technologien. Sie ermöglichen es dem Menschen komplexe Ideen und Gedanken zu kommunizieren sowie darzustellen, was sie zu Hauptwerkzeugen der Architekturbranche der Zukunft machen wird. Sie ermöglicht und fördert klar die Skalierung und Effizienz von Arbeitsvorgängen was jedoch wiederum dazu verleitet, mit Komplexität und Umfang von Projekten über das Ziel hinaus zu schießen. Die Essenz von Projekten wird verfehlt, während gewonnene Effizienz und erhöhter Aufwand sich aufheben.
Eine Problematik auf die ich unlängst durch meine eigenen Projekte gestoßen bin.
„How Big things get done“, ein Buch von Bent Flyvbjerg, Professor in Oxford für Ökonomie und Projektmanagement sowie Ersteller der größten Datenbank zu Megaprojekten zeigt jedoch, dass Projekte vor allem in ihrer Umsetzungsphase die zuvor gesteckten Ziele verfehlen.
Der Autor liefert folglich auch einen Lösungsansatz, welcher sich mit Hilfe von Elementen der Digitalen Architektur anwenden ließe.
Ein Themenkombination welche mich begeistert und eine, die ich gerne mit Ihnen besprechen und wissenschaftlich eingrenzen würde.
Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass sich ein gemeinsamer Nenner finden lässt und ich meine Seminararbeit in „Digitaler Architektur“ verfassen werde.
My name is Alexander Feigl (22).
Originally from Bregenz, I study architecture at the Technical University of Vienna. In 2021 I graduated at the HTL Rankweil with my diploma thesis in statics and building technology.
I successfully passed my fourth semester this summer while completing all but one exam of the bachelor.
In this Portfolio, I have selected some projects that reflect my experience on my way to my bachelors degree so far.
I give my best to be a pushing force on projects I work on and to put my background in engineering to good use, while widening my horizon on creative ways of architecture.
As a firm believer in doing things differently, I adapted a seasonal-workflow.
Since the start of my studies at the TU, the Winter semester tends to be the most productive time of the year, creating large Windows in summer to reflect, travel and work in architectural practices.
This is my attempt to push my academical career further, in order to spend my sixth semester in „deep work“ on my final Studio only, while working part time.

„A radical project to densify a settlement while creating cultural-, workingand living space.“
Utilizing Vienna‘s strong winds to cool and preserve courtyards, which had already acted as the cooling core to combat summer overheating. The design preserves all trees, which define the added volume while forming landscape around and over it to gift the courtyards an organic topography.
The Project was choosen by the institute of Städtebau und Landschaftsarchitektur for its exhibition.

„08:57“ defies conventional residential design with a brutalist touch (safe fortress). Trapezoidal rooms face east and west, capturing sunrise and sunset. The top floors house a youth hostel and a retirement home, fostering interaction through shared spaces and a rooftop landscape. Standard floors accommodate families (bond), linking living areas and public space to the ground-level landscape featuring a library, cafe/bar, and hostel reception.

STEIN-REICH
A project for strolling, meeting, and exhibition spaces beneath the MAK garden.
Through carving out and piling up above, a labyrinth like structure is created which develops in to a cavelike volume descending, as an abstract spiral towards a man made riverbed (Wienfluss), with three exhibition plates lit by three monumental shafts. The design is inspired by the Carrara quarries.
The Project was choosen by the institute of Raumgestaltung for publication.

Project of the diploma thesis (HTL)
Detailplanung im Maßstab 1:20
Situated in Wolfurt, Vorarlberg in cooperation with Hefel Wohnbau two fellow students and me planed a housing project, acompanied by three individual thesis (written part).
Due to my specialization in construction technology, I was primarily responsible for the detailed solutions of the project. Thanks to an internal architectural competition, I also played a key role in the visual design.

Hochbau 1.
A project built from reused components of a former ÖBB hall.
The rectangular gable-roofed structure was reinterpreted by dividing and rearranging pre existing arches at different heights, forming a grid of three interwoven dome-like meshes that support the spectator stands and carry a roof made out of reused woodan planks.
In 2023 I had the honor to work for CUKROWICZ NACHBAUR.
My tasks were „LV“ and „Detailplanung“ for „Zentrum Haselstauden“ in Dornbirn Vorarlberg which is currently under construction.
I am extreme thankful for their patience and ambition in supporting me on my first internship in an architectural practice.
