WeB: GWJMore important than a high density is the atmosphere and the quality of life ,within the development and the community. People should feel at home in the new “Weberei” development and thus in the center of Zumikon “dihei fühlen” and benefit fromqualities such as the adjoining village square, green spaces and the variety of uses within the Weberei estate.benefit. The Weberei development creates added value - for its residents but also for the entire surrounding area. Polyvalent usable communal areas round off the mix of uses of living, working, living, working, shopping, leisure and happy living.
The 3 building volumes are integrated into the townscape, respond to the urban development of the highway divide and open up towards the existing village square. Attractive paths, Weaving, Landscape architecture. On the north-east side, the existing Bänningerweg will be relocated to the west and bundled with the communal open spaces.
This not only create a flow of movement, but also a coherent, slightly sloping and terraced open space zone that can be used flexibly and in a variety of ways.
Topographically structured into a sequence of paths and small squares, this “neighborhood enfilade” thrives on the spatial and functional density of the of the cooperative settlement and serves as a circulation space, meeting place, playground and communal outdoor space for all residents.

A new density is to change the location in the centre of Gümligen and serve as a lighthouse project for future development on the basis of a superordinate view. The design reacts to the existing heterogeneous and grown structure of the site by taking over the grain of its surroundings from the planned volumes. The addition of the volumes with different scales and developments of the base floors define a heterogeneous architecture with buildings of the 60s and 70s. In their diversity an identity of its own is created.

The prosperous community of Münchenstein, located in the canton of Basel-Landschaft, benefits from its optimal transport location in the immediate vicinity of the city of Basel. With over 12,000 inhabitants and 10,000 jobs in over 900 companies, Münchenstein is one of the canton’s most important residential, working and business locations. According to the development concept of the municipality of Münchenstein, a moderate development by approx. 2025 with an additional 2,000 inhabitants is to be aimed at.
“To do the right things at the right time meant - according to the altitude - to work out the necessary contents comprehensively and in phase. It was therefore a matter of further architectural development of the more or less precisely specified volumes, combined with a handful of rules that were provided programmatically. Among other things, it was a matter of developing the architectural expression, the impression and physiognomy, the plasticity of the bodies, the atmosphere and identity, the detailed landscape architectural and traffic-technical design, a materiality and tectonics, but also precise product and usage concepts.

The site of the former association dairy near Burgdorf railway station is an important development area in Burgdorf city centre. The aim of the study contract is the high-quality development and densification of the area while safeguarding the various landowners’ interests.
The area will become a special residential address in the future. At its most central location, a lively piece of town with a great variety of usable meeting and recreation places is being created This grouped diversity, including the houses built in recent times, already shapes the unique character of the surrounding area. This context will be continued and the gap in the urban space will be closed. A public sequence of paths and open spaces is created along the stream. The large playground lies between the public path along the canal and the more semi-public and smaller gravel areas in front of the residential buildings. Thanks to its differentiated design of the edges, this open space is an ideal meeting place for residents and the general public as well as a playground and sports area. As in the neighbourhood south of the Mühlibach stream, despite its central location in the town of Burgdorf, residential use is present in public space through a subtle zoning.
CH 2017
GWJ architektur + DEGELOWhat does Bern look like behind the alleyways of the Old Town, which is considered a World Heritage Site? The path through the new passage shows the system of front and rear buildings, impressive views into courtyards, passages and layers of space. People encounter sometimes representative, sometimes coincidental situations that depict the richness of the historic old town of Bern in all its diversity in an atmospheric and understandable way.
The preserved architectural witnesses of the past are carefully preserved and embedded in a credible context. What is not authentic is not presented as such, but tells the story calmly and without polemics. The project traces the themes of the place, within the radius of the old town as well as the parcel. It interprets these themes with new, strong forms and places them in the appropriate context. It is not the historical attitude that is sought, but the pictorial expressiveness. The spacious shopping centre, the takeaway and the Migros restaurant are functionally and unobtrusively embedded in the whole and profit from the newly created world of experience without competing with the world cultural heritage.
Europan 13 adaptable city
Libramont, belgique, 2015
BODA STUDIO
This session topic was: The Adaptable City: Self-Organization – Sharing – Project (Process). The participating cities were confronted to the major challenges concerning the adaptability of European cities: adaptation to the need for more sustainable development but also to the context of an economic crisis that most of the European cities are currently undergoing. They also proposed concrete innovations in the order given by the site representatives, arousing new project approaches by young competitors.

During the covid I participated in this illustration contest, where I had to represent the relationship between the house and us and how that relation has changed. I also reflected on the theme of cities, how they looked ghostly and empty and austere and how instead nature was slowly restarting and reborn again.
