The disappeared valley| Reconciliation with the landscape diploma 2018 with Prof. August Sarnitz und Prof. Kathrin Aste

At the beginning of the last century, the Cadore in the Province of Belluno was planned to become a central alpine location. In order to create a future perspective for the area’s development, large infrastructural projects have been initiated to overcome the topographical circumstances. Yet, in 1963 through a huge mountain slide the euphoria came to an abrupt end. Caused by the construction of the Vajont reservoir, the mountain slide buried most of the canyon and thousands of lives. The remaining of the canyon was sealed off and the initial investments terminated. Subsequently, many buildings and projects fell, together with their visions, into oblivion, and Cadore’s development took a different turn.

The thesis project approaches this area, taking into account the present situation: destroyed, unfinished or deteriorated, it is what there is. Fragments of infrastructure isolated in the landscape. Exactly this imperfection of the “as found” creates interest and fascination for the thesis to evolve. After a wider view on the whole area and its building history, the focus zooms in to the Vajont Valley. As a historic key position, the site requires new accessibility, from a metaphorical as well as physical perspective. Carefully placed interventions aim to reconcile the area with its upsetting past and adopt the remaining pieces to create inspiration for new developments on the site where the interaction with the landscape placed a hold on once future visions.

â&#x20AC;&#x17E;The proposed staging helps us to understand the past dreams and to glance a questioning look at shaping a possible future.â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Winer Linien | Big Opening Rolltreppe Schottentor creating facts | urban intervention 1. December 2015 with Dennis Kekic & D 7/15

What role do advertising campaigns and press reports play in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s urban development? Do they show existing arrears and failings of the city, or are they much more likely to stage and promote projects by creating needs and problems? On the basis of an experiment, we followed these questions. We played with media and press reports and involved people behind us who actually had nothing to do with the matter. We claimed the re-commissioning of an escalator and made it a media figure. At the end, we opened together with 1500 people and 30.000 internet follower, the escaletor and blocked the Vienna Metro for hours. But, our real intention, remained unknown behind the staging.

intervention group since 2015 with Lisa Huber & Team

phase 1 Motivated from the fact, that a international investor wants to build a shopping mall in the city center, for which the main bus station as well as the adjacent park will be destroyed, jung_in_bozen has formed. A group of young people from 16-25 years started to inform the population about the shopping mall facts but also about the urban-social situation in bozen. Apart from the daily statement or critical snapshot on social network, there also smaller and bigger happenings to get attention and involve people.

the knot

summer term 2015 Studio ADP Ernst J. Fuchs | ]a[

Starting from an intensive subjective analysis from sketches and models of an upcoming area in Vienna, I choose a site, which is, because of the train divided into many small pieces. This site will connect the old and the newly developed area as well as both sides of the train area. The building will sit like a bird on top of different infrastructures. Just some small legs will touch the ground, where between the existing bridges and walls, like in a bird nest, public places, parks and open facilities are placed. The area shows a high degree of diversity, which will be continued also in the building. Where they are not just next to each other, they mingle up to a public path network through the building.

the structure

winter term 2014|15 Studio ESC Hannes Stiefel | ]a[

The growing of the city creates at their boarder a wildlife of buildings. It looks like there are no rules or strategies for the future. You see a great field where the city seems to run out and create an area between city and landscape. As new urban experiment, we take this border, this between. The pressure which goes normally out of town, we turn around. To push pressure forwards the city. Like the old Vienna was designed true the City Wall or the Linienwall, we make a new urban structure around the city to compact the area inside. This new Wall will be a big structure which symbolist the end of the city without cutting the surrounding away.

It will be open; people can pass true without problems; and offers a lot of space and possibilities for the citizens. All new urban development will happen there along the structure, but just at the city side. To create and fill the structure, all -in the wider sensenecessary public facilities will be in the wall. At the end, when the city inside is full she will jump over the wall and grove on. There will be an inner-city stripe (Schweif) where the can break down the structure and use the space like the City Wall (Ring) or they reuse the structure in different ways like the Linienwall (GĂźrtel).

evolution of the wall

Over the time the suburban context change to a more urban context, and so also the needs and conditions for the structure changed. A secondary, more permanent structure divided in smaller units will construct. Also bigger changes in the structure self happens.

The structure is now one continuous line. The area inside change to an urban context and the population has grown. On more and more points the built up zone get deeper inside, not all public facilities can be kept in the structure. The structure get reduce from the secondary structure, gives open space back or get reused in new ways. First development will happen outside the wall.

The structure is now surrounded by buildings and is so no longer an outside wall. Parts will be demolished and the city will get a new circular element The Schweif (the Tail). Like the Ring and the Gürtel it will be an important open urban element in the city with open possibilities.

Ten rules for the structure The structure will be built step by step in pieces out from different points, for that there are ten rules every piece has to follow. So the idea of the whole structure -as an open infrastructure wall- survives.

Palazzo Ombla winter term 2013 Studio #6|KTH

The Palazzo Ombla, as a ocean research center, join living, working and public events in one building, like the old Palazzi of Dubrovnik have done. The old walls of the preexisting building create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural facadeâ&#x20AC;? in the unadorned, stony context of Ombla. The holes in the walls and the fully glazed interior create a shadow play over the whole building. And works in this kind with modern approach of the southern architecture, where not the view is the main reason for an opening, but the air-circulation and controlled / filtered sun entrance.

Katarinabergets Theater autumn term 2013 Studio #6|KTH

The basic idea behind the project is to use the old civic shelter below the Medborgarplatsen instead of bulding a new theater on the site. On the south part of the shelter, we take a quarter of the space and cut it up from the rest. Without the floors, the big hall will be the main stage used as black box. The old car entrance from the south, with it`s slope room, will be an experimental stage, where dancers can experiment with this different room feeling. And also the public will have their stage on the loop ramp where the â&#x20AC;&#x153;audience stageâ&#x20AC;? should invite everyone, dancers and guests, to use them. On the overground the old massive steel doors will remain and form the new entrance. Only a big glass cube, coming out of the wall, will show to everyone that hear is something new, and open a window to the inside or the next shows.

AllmendeVerde november 2012 workshop 3|TUG

Within a one week workshop we developed hybrid architectures beyond the vast separation of the modern world. In combining regional cultural practice and renewable energy production with local food supply, students could introduced to this integral design approach, leading to a new set of hybrid architectural typologies. In applying specifi c architectural techniques on mapping these interactions, students learned how to address and integrate many layers of our complex world. EMERGING REALITIES thus attempts to focus on local specifi city, on inventiveness and on a newly defi ned role of systemic thinking to render architecture and landscape as key disciplines to envision this future cultural practice. Architecture and Landscape Architecture students of master or high advanced bachelor level are welcome to join this inquiry for a more inclusive architecture that prepares for complex design challenges to come.

competition for realization together with HDA GRAZ TreeHouse | A house for a tree An ordinary object, a tree, prescinded from the mass and emphasized in an unusual stage, to create individuality The individualization is done by cuting off the environment, so to create a home for the tree. To dissociate this home from urban life, the entrance is designed as long as possible. So the entrance has a filter function. The interior has the function of an oasis of peace that generates a sense of emotional well-being and peace within the visitor The simple structure itself threatens to sink into the mass, only itâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s positioning is provocative and lures one person or an other into the interior.

The group was probably always an important element in the valley to master the simple, rustic life in the slope. Starting from the life on the farm in the Villas, small farm groups, and onwards with the separate language in the valleys you will find many examples of the communites precence. Until today this has been preserved , so every three years the young men of Val Badia start together on the way over the Forcela de Furcia up to SĂ¤ben to give thus to their tradition , culture and faith expression . Thus form and extend it the age-old bond between them and their ancestors. The arduous journey shows, probably more than any other action in the valley , the existing cohesion since hundreds of years

A band formed of from new, old , used laces, that will adorn the path at several points at the Forcela de Furia. The laces, the supporting element on the hike, becomes a symbol of the cohesion in the Gadertal-Valley. With this ambiguous element each hiker passing is made aware, both in the figurative sense and effectivly when hiking, of the importance of good support, be made aware , both in the figurative sense as effectively when hiking . A linear element, accompanying for a part of ones path away accompanying.

Pure Architecture as sacred space The Construction Site published 2018 Salto.bz Arch Blog

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pure Architecture as sacred space / The Construction Siteâ&#x20AC;? describes the beauty of buildings during their construction. The absence of scale, clean forms. The water, which seems to be everywhere.The continuous change of state. A place that will exist in the future, but looks like a long abandoned place. The text clames the construction side to be a sacred place. Which will lose all it`s secrets with the ongoing works and seems to die, step by step.

Die Baustelle Wer kennt sie nicht, die „anziani cantieri“, ältere Leute, die an einem Bauzaun stehen und das Geschehen beobachten. Wortlos sind sie gefesselt vom Anblick der Baustelle, nur ab und zu fällt ein kleiner Kommentar. Meist denkt man sich, sie sind alt und haben nichts anderes zu tun, dabei betrifft dieses Phänomen durchaus uns alle. Erst neulich stand ich gut zwanzig Minuten in einer spontanen Gruppe aus unterschiedlichsten Leuten, welche den Abriss eines Hauses beobachtete. Wortlos standen auch wir da und waren vom Geschehen gefesselt. Weder war es ein besonderes Gebäude, noch handelte es sich um den spektakulären Höhepunkt des Abrisses. Es war lediglich die Ecksituation, welche den Abriss besonders einsehbar machte und so auch die Blicke von Uninteressierten anlockte. Sollte die Baustelle für den Neubau gleich einsehbar bleiben, dürfte diese Ecke wohl noch oft zur spontanen Gruppenbildung animieren. Der Anblick von Vergehen und Entstehen scheint unser Interesse zu wecken, die kleine Sensation im Alltag: Was passiert da?; Gibt es was Neues und was wird es? So ist es zu erklären, dass geführte Baustellenbesichtigungen oder Tage der offenen Baustelle mittlerweile bei vielen Bauten zur Tagesordnung gehören. Je seltener die Gelegenheit, umso länger die Warteschlangen. Allzu oft wird einem allerdings nur die leere Baustelle ohne Baugeschehen präsentiert. Ein fertiger Rohbau, der kurz vor der Fertigstellung steht und so bereits sicher begehbar ist. Auf dass sich die Besucher besser vorstellen können, wie das Gebäude in Zukunft aussehen soll. Dabei geht genau das verloren, was eine Baustelle ausmacht. Das Herumwuseln der Arbeiter, das Aufheulen von Baumaschinen und die Undefiniertheit von Dingen sind es, was die Baustelle so interessant macht und Leute zum spontanen Beobachten anregt. Deshalb sind es oft die kleinen, runden Löcher im Zaun, von welchen man den besten Überblick auf eine Baustelle hat. Ein willkürlicher Blickwinkel, in einem zufälligen Moment, keiner merkt, dass man spioniert und schon zeigt sich die Baustelle von ihrer ehrlichen Seite. Und jedes Mal, wenn man wieder am Bauzaun

vorbeikommt, kann man die Veränderungen im Vergleich zum letzten Mal beobachten. Denn wie ein Festsaal scheint die Baustelle stetig neu dekoriert zu werden, ja nach anstehendem Anlass. Der gesamte Ort verändert sich ständig, nicht nur das Gebäude selbst, auch das Rundherum mit seinen Hilfskonstruktionen. Ein ständiger Wandel von einfach allem. Die Schalung verschwindet und präsentiert den frischen Beton, am Boden wird ein schwarzer Teppich ausgerollt und an den Wänden werden bunte Folien befestigt. Um eine Baustelle jedoch wirklich zu erleben, muss man sie betreten sogar öfters. Lärm, Staub, Chaos. Überall liegen Dinge und alles strahlt einen Charme von Gefahr aus. Rohe Flächen, raue Haptik, pure Formen. Räume sind noch nicht zu erkennen, Stockwerke nur grob zu erahnen. Ein Raumerlebnis wie man es sonst nicht kennt. Eine Nutzung gibt es noch nicht. Maßstäbe scheinen verzerrt oder verformt. Ein Ort, den es erst in der Zukunft geben wird, doch scheint er schon lange zerstört. Licht und Schatten regieren. Geräusche durchbrechen die Stille. Viele Geräusche. Und Wasser, überall Wasser. Ein wichtiges Element jeder Baustelle, es tropft von der Decke, sickert aus der Wand und rinnt am Boden entlang. Für den Menschen unverzichtbar, scheint es auch diesen Ort zu beleben. Alles scheint hier möglich zu sein, und so gut wie alles kann hieraus noch entstehen. Der Fantasie kann freier Lauf gelassen werden. Doch je weiter die Baustelle voranschreitet, mit jeder Wand, die hinter einer Gipsplatte verschwindet, mit jeder Installation, die verblendet, und jedem Boden, der verlegt wird, wird die zukünftige Nutzung klarer und die alternativen Fantasien verschwinden, bis sie schließlich durch die eindeutige, funktionale Definition aller Bauteile die Magie des Unfertigen verliert. Es bleibt für jede Baustelle also nur ein kurzes Zeitfenster, um sie zu erkunden und zu erleben. Und das am besten, indem man sie einfach betritt. Denn in dem Chaos und der Hektik der Baustelle weiß eigentlich niemand genau was gerade alles so passiert bzw. wer alles gerade auf der Baustelle ist. So kann man eigentlich fast jede Baustelle problemlos betreten, solange man jeden grüßt und so den Eindruck

architecture is more may 2012 Banale Digitale Graz

“Architecture is more” is a critical text for the Banale Digitale 2012 form the architecture Studios Tu Graz, which claims that architecture is more than only form and beauty, even if society does not understand this anymore. It’s a way of thinking, a way how people see the world, a reflection of the time and there society. All the CAAD forms are not more than ornaments. And the resume is: Architecture isn’t beautiful or ugly. Architecture can be good or bad. Architecture can be functional or not. And that can seem beautiful or ugly to a person, but this aspect is secondary.

Architektur ist mehr Als Architekt, aber auch als Architekturstudent, wird man immer dasselbe gefragt: “... Wie gefällt dir denn dieses Gebäude?“, „Was für Formen bevorzugst du?“, „Was möchtest du mal bauen?“. Lustlos beantworte ich diese Frage immer öfter mit einem schlichten „Ja“ oder „Nein“, einem „Gut“ oder „Schlecht“. Nicht, weil ich keine Lust mehr auf diese Fragen habe, sondern da man, um eine ehrliche Antwort zu geben, meist ein wenig ausholen muss. Doch trifft man damit meist auf Missverständnis. Denn die Leute wollen nur ein einfaches „Ja“ oder „Nein“, ein „Gut“ oder „Schlecht“. Ein „Schön“ oder „Hässlich“. Also gibt man es ihnen. In den letzten Jahren wurde die Architektur in der Gesellschaft großteils auf eine einfache schön – hässlich – Diskussion reduziert. Es ging nur noch um Design. Diese ganze „Designarchitektur“ ging Hand in Hand mit der Digitalisierung der Architektur einher. Die Gebäude wurden immer geschwungener, Fassadengestaltung wurde zum A&O. Wenn ein Projekt auch ohne PC zu Papier gebracht werden kann, ist es so gut wie aus dem Rennen. Dabei ist zu sagen, dass ich nicht gegen die Digitalisierung der Architektur bin, mit all Ihren Vorteilen und Möglichkeiten gab sie uns neue Freiheiten. Doch scheint sie der Auslöser dieser „Designarchitektur“ zu sein. Es geht vor allem darum, welches Denken sie in der Gesellschaft ausgelöst hat. Adolf Loos verkündete, die Menschheit von den Ornamenten zu befreien. Holen wir sie damit wieder zurück? Nicht nur, dass es niemanden mehr interessiert, was hinter der Fassade steckt, nein, die meisten verstehen überhaupt nicht mehr, wieso etwas bzw. mehr dahinter stecken sollte. Entweder ein Gebäude ist geschwungen und geometrisch verzerrt, im äußersten Notfall vielleicht auch schlicht und einfach, aber wieso das so ist, und was es bewirkt und auszulösen vermag, ist egal. Architektur ist nicht schön oder hässlich. Architektur kann gut oder schlecht sein, funktionell oder extravagant, zurückhaltend oder provokant. Dies kann man dann schön oder hässlich finden, aber das ist eine persönliche, zweitrangige Sache. Architektur ist einfach mehr als schön oder hässlich.
