In the summer of 2022 a competition is announced for the construction of a new museum for a collection of paintings by the painter Alexander Köster, known for his depictions of ducks, and other painters of the Klausen artists‘ colony from the early 20th century. The site of the museum is the garden of the former Capuchin monastery, which is located directly on the Tinne brook. The concept is to create a youth museum that will attract school classes and young families in particular. The aim of our design was to
preserve as far as possible the monastery garden, which is highly appreciated by the people of Klausen. We proposed a scenic and inconspicuous building with a walkable roof, with complex and varied spatial situations inside. As part of the two-person design team, i have been involved in the whole design process from the beginning, in weekly consultations with two of the office managers. I produced the following axos, diagrams, plans, sections and helped with the models.

During my two-month internship at Rapp+Rapp Architects in Amsterdam, I worked on the competition for the former customs port in Mainz. From the first draft, through design studies and concept development, I was involved in all stages of the development process (I produced the following plans, diagrams, axos, details and elevations). The tender envisaged two buildings overlooking the Zollhafen in Mainz: An office building and a residential
building. The particular complexity of the task was that the volumes of the buildings to be planned were strictly prescribed by the development plan, as this was based on elaborate sound calculations and any deviations in volume would have resulted in a different sound reflection behavior of the buildings. With the particularly flexible design for the Marina B office building, for which I was largely responsible, we were able to win the competition.

A modern office achieves sustainability through flexibility.
In the office building, hollow prestressed concrete planks span the entire width of the building without supports (1). This creates long-term flexibility for the future users (2). The cellular offices are placed on the calmed north side, access as well as sanitary facilities are located in a long set core (3). This allows the utilization units to be divided into two offices of different sizes, each of approximately 200sqm and 400sqm (4). If required, however, these can also be combined into one office spanning several floors (5).
The maximum height of the building plan did not actually allow for the required four stories with the corresponding necessary clear room height. We solved the problem by planning the first floor as a non-continuous mezzanine, which allowed us to reduce the room height in accordance with workplace regulations. This resulted in two-story offices on the ground floor and a coworking cafe facing the square.

In this studio, a museum with a temporary exhibition and a permanent exhibition was to be built about the Viennese Werkbundsiedlung, a model housing estate for modern living from the 1930s, planned under the direction of Josef Frank. The red mountain adjacent to the settlement was intended as the building site, but in the course of finding the concept my partner and I asked ourselves why an exhibition ABOUT an exhibition should be placed NEXT to
it. With the daring approach of dividing the museum into several structures and building them on the original sites of destroyed Werkbund houses, we were able to achieve an award in the subject of building theory. In this studio I took the lead to organize the design workflow and the development of the concept in our two person team and produced all the following content.
Portfolio // Leonard Künstner
Why put an exhibition, about an exhibition, next to an exhibition?!
The green space on the red mountain is too valuable as a recreational area and must be preserved (1). Three semi-detached houses of the former model settlement were destroyed during the war. The museum buildings will be erected on these sites and the settlement will be completed again. Between the two parts of the museum, visitors will be able to walk and visit the settlement by themselves: The former exhibition, becomes an exhibition again and the museum is part of it (2). As compensation, the residents get new buildings at the end of the Josef-Gangl-Gasse, which offer fantastic views and a southern exposure (3).
The houses are reconstructed as translucent shells, abstracting the facade of the historic buildings.
They thus refer to their historical models, but have an independent contemporary character. On the outside, they are intended to recreate the urban situation, and at the same time, in the new museum, they serve only as oversized glass bells placed over the building, which is otherwise largely underground. Freestanding levels divide the space and also allow natural lighting in the basement.

A counterpart to the viannese Kaiserforum, a citizens‘ forum, is to be built on the site of the Vienna Ice Skating Club. For this purpose, the construction site will be connected to the opposite Beethovenplatz by rerouting Lothringerstraße. A new building is now to close off the square that has been created and form a center in the midst of the already existing wide range of cultural offerings on site. This will be the new library on Beethovenplatz, which will serve both as a center for political education and as
a public meeting place. The all-round glazed facade gives the building an open, inviting character. The multipurpose space on the ground floor is connected to the forecourt by a generously open façade. The storage wall on the rear side of the 2nd and 3rd floors creates a natural heating and cooling effect, which creates a pleasant climate in the buffer zone all year round, as well as the rooftop garden, favor its function as a urban living room. It is a building for everyone! (I produced all the following content)

On a fieldtrip to Taiwan I decided as my bachelor project to rebuild the public bath in Beitou, a suburb of Taipei, which has a long history of thermal bathing in the region‘s natural springs due to the high volcanic activity in the north of the city. The baths have an important position as an inexpensive way to enjoy the bathing experience and offer a special quality, especially due to the open-air pools (the hotels in the region usually offer bathing indoors): the very green Beitou district offers a strangely impressive
combination of tropical nature and an almost dystopian urban skyline, in the middle of which the baths are located. Unfortunately, its facilities are in a deplorable state and so I planned a new bath that would confidently strengthen the address, enable more diverse use thanks to the flexibility of the structure and intensify and enhance the unique character of the bathing experience in the middle of the city. This was an individual work and in produced all the following rendering, grifics and plans.
