01 The Green Grid Academy 01 Komma- Reborn

Academic Project Year: Mater’s Thesis, 2023-2024 Individual Project Supervised by: Prof. Dr. Andreas Hammer Location: Leipzig, Germany Built-up Area: 86,000 sqf Structure: Reinforced Concreat structure

My thesis reimagines an 18th-century factory in Leipzig as a vibrant primary school, seamlessly blending its industrial heritage with modern educational needs. The greatest challenge was preserving the building’s historic integrity, as it is listed under strict heritage protection, while transforming it into a lively, functional space for learning.

By carefully introducing natural light and greenery, I revitalized the building’s atmosphere, creating a dynamic environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and individuality. A new sports building was added with careful consideration to complement the existing structure, embracing the existing brickwork and providing a safe boundary through landscaped outdoor spaces and seating areas. At the heart of the design, the central library features innovative hanging plant boxes, bringing the essence of outdoor gathering spaces indoors to encourage interaction and inspiration.

Interior Design Approach The hanging plant boxes, inspired by the geometric rhythm of outdoor cubic landscaping, transform the central library into a living, architectural statement. The interplay of greenery and structure creates a dynamic, almost ethereal atmosphere that blurs the line between built and natural environments, inviting users into a space where creativity and imagination thrive.

Growing Media: Lightweight options like perlite, vermiculite, or hydroponic systems reduce box weight by up to 90% (7-22 lbs for hydroponics vs.

33-66 lbs for soil).

Hydroponic System: Recirculates nutrient-rich water, minimizing weight and water usage.

Suspension: Stainless steel wires or synthetic fibers securely hang the boxes from the concrete roof frame, ensuring stability and a sleek design.

Structural Load: Load is evenly distributed across the frame to maintain structural integrity.

The indoor sports hall, located on the south side of the school complex, seamlessly extends the design language of the exterior seating area while reinterpreting the existing brickwork in a contemporary manner. Featuring a water-struck coal-stoked brick lattice, the façade filters sunlight to reduce glare while maintaining efficient natural lighting inside. The column-free, cubic modular roofing system spans the hall’s wide interior, reflecting the project’s emphasis on modularity and material harmony. The thoughtful integration of wood and brick highlights a balanced blend of tradition and modernity, creating an inviting and functional space for sports and recreation.

: Esslingen, Germany

Built-up Area: 32000 sq f Structure: 19th century Timber Framing reinforced with concrete columns, Reinforced Concreat structure and IPE-27 steel columns for the new add ons

Komma, originally a 19th-century factory in Esslinegn, Germany, has been repurposed as a youth center, yet faces challenges in adap ng its aged infrastructure to modern needs. In my master's 7th Module, I tackle the task of revitalizing Komma.

My design approach aims to seamlessly blend heritage with func onality, ensuring that it serves the diverse requirements of today's youth.

Understanding the importance of providing spaces that foster both enjoyment and enrichment, I have envisioned areas like the cre vity zone, featuring custom-designed furniture.

Add onally, I emphasize the site's historical significance by showcasing the func oning 14th-century water wheel located on the south side of Komma.

Energy and Re-use Concept In meeting the challenge of insulating a historic building under stringent facade modification constraints, our approach emphasizes energy efficiency and sustainability. Utilizing calcium silicate insulation, we insulated existing sections and seamlessly integrated insulation into new additions. This method respects the architectural integrity of the building while maximizing energy conservation and sustainability.

Built-up Area: 193000 sq f Structure: Tree-like structure: tubular steel column with 500 mm diameter for the main structure and 250 mm for the substructures, Canopy: Reinforced Dammbetone with 800mm width

The KIT Nord Science Center proposes a pioneering architectural idea—a hub where emerging scien sts and scholars come together to collaborate and innovate, y forming a bustling marketplace essen of ideas, fostering a culture of collabora on, empowering the next genera on to push the boundaries of knowledge.

Confronted with the challenge of preserving mature trees on the site, we seized this opportunity to seamlessly blend nature into our design philosophy, recognizing its profound influence on human cre vity and intellect, aiming to merge these maje c trees with our architectural vision, leading to the cre on of a vers e canopy-like structure, carefully cra ed to adapt to the changing needs of KIT Nord's aspiring minds.

For Project Büro W, we were entrusted with transforming a generous office area accommodating approximately 35 workers. Our mission was to create an office environment that surpassed expectations, fostering enhanced coworking dynamics and collaboration quality while ensuring a homely atmosphere. Our design aimed to provide privacy and comfort as required. To kickstart the project, we developed three initial plan layouts, each offering unique possibilities and qualities.
