HABERSAATH REJUVENATED 17 IS THIS HOUSING OR CAN IT BE DISPOSED OF?

TOKYO-TOWNHOUSE SOLID FRAGMENTS The vertical axis is crucial in the development of housing concepts in densely populated cities, contrasting with the desire for conventional single-family homes.

This concept seeks to reconcile these opposing demands by proposing a multistory townhouse that accommodates three families within a compact urban footprint, effectively addressing land scarcity while preserving the fundamental qualities of individual living spaces.

WS 2020 // 2021 ERSTES SEMSTER – VORHANG AUF STUDIO ELKE REICHEL ADREIZEHN

The initial conceptual approach in this project was to explore architectural impressions based on factors such as volume and materiality. Aiming for a fragmented and unsteady spatial impression, several models were constructed and eventually one of them was turned into an architectural concept, determining its scale and assigning it to a suitable place and purpose.

TOKYO-TOWNHOUSE

Bernhard Fiedler

Site Map 1:150 Located in Tsukijima, Tokyo, we set out to connect the ever-growing need for housing space in densely populated urban areas like Tokyo with the general open-mindedness and fondness of the Japanese people for new forms of living. Just like the model, the building appears to be on the verge of collapsing.

However, it makes use of displacements in the upper stories by adding additional outdoor space while being stabilized and circulated by a central core.

ROOFTOP CAPSULES ELEVATED METABOLISM

Similar to the Tokyo-Townhouse, this concept aims to respond to the ever-urgent need to deal with land scarcity and densification of urban areas by envisioning narrow spatial situations as space efficient housing options.

Atmospheric model photography

ROOFTOP CAPSULES

Bernhard Fiedler

The capsules form has been developed as a consequence of a number of model studies, in which the feeling of oppressiveness and confinedness was to be created by redesigning a five meter long part of a corridor. The person inside the corridor is supposed to obtain an oppressive and frightening sensation due to spatial constraints and the many different ways in and out of the corridor. Following this, I considered how this narrowness could be thought of as a strength rather than a weak point.

ROOFTOP CAPSULES The capsules' modular nature, inspired

by Kisho Kurokawa's Nakagin Capsule Tower, allows for easy scaling and adaptation to different building types.

By reimagining rooftops as potential dwelling spaces, the Rooftop Capsules leverage unused vertical space, effectively increasing housing density without expanding the urban footprint.

Adjustable partition walls on each floor further add to the adaptability of the entities and elaborate installation walls provide the technical means for these adaptations.

Additionally, rendered by the 90 degree shift of the entities, each of them receives an ample exterior space in the form of the roof of the entity below and is circulated by an exterior circulation making use of these terraces.

HABERSAATH REJUVENATED IS THIS HOUSING OR CAN IT BE DISPOSED OF?

‘The world has long since been constructed’ is a modern German proverb, highlighting the pressing need for more sustainable and efficient approaches to managing existing structures. It underscores the importance of rethinking our reliance on demolition, which not only contradicts sustainability objectives but also disregards critical social considerations. Demolition erases the cultural and historical significance of buildings, overlooks the needs and voices of their current inhabitants, and fails to recognize the inherent value embedded in existing architectural resources.

HABERSAATH REJUVENATED

Bernhard Fiedler

The case of Habersaathstraße 42-48, a prefabricated apartment block in central Berlin, puts this dogma to the test. The owner intends to evict the last remaining residents from the building only to demolish and replace it with luxury apartments. Years of neglect have left the building in disrepair, making residents feel increasingly unwelcome in their own homes.

Therefore, emphasizing the vital role of cultural heritage and communal identity, this concept explores how reconstruction can take precedence over new construction when ecological arguments fail to catch the owner's attention.
