The and its metabolism 15. Kalhöfer – Korschildgen: Fahrt ins Grüne, Remscheid (1997). The clients – both journalists – wished to add another study to their timber-framed house. Gerhard Kalhöfer and Stefan Korschildgen designed a mobile and light-weight extension on tracks which can be pushed sideways into the garden in summer to free up the patio for other uses.
17. Kalhöfer – Korschildgen: ZwischenRäumen, terraced houses for Salzburg (2002). The architects designed all external and internal walls as mobile rolling shutters. The central hall is conceived as a flexible, adjustable interspace, which can be linked up to the adjoining rooms as desired. In addition, the house opens up to the outside in any desired combination.
16. N55: Spaceframe & Floating Platform (1999). N55’s Spaceframe is a modular, light, low-cost living unit for three to four persons. The wall structure consists of regular tetrahedrons which make the dwelling look like a crystal. A platform attached to jetties or boats turns Spaceframe into a floating island.
18. Le Corbusier: Unité d’Habitation in Marseille (1946). A whole town under one roof: with its integrated shopping mall, a gymnasium, a swimming pool and a playground on the roof, Le Corbusier’s Unité housing around 1 500 inhabitants was planned as a self-sufficient unit. Even the range of dwellings with 23 different types measuring between 32 and 137 m2 is reminiscent of a small town.
