After successful completion of the course, students are able to.understand the complexity of a design process. Students are able to operate in different levels in this processes in their own design project.
The high-rise residential building is on everyone's lips again. The motifs appear very varied, but can probably be reduced to the following aspects: The ever decreasing resource of land and the resulting tense situation in land prices, the fact that many people invest their assets in real estate and thus a large part of the freely financed residential building is not causally used to cover housing needs but to invest capital and, of course, skyscrapers can also serve the corporate identity of metropolises.
It can be seen that in different European cities - whether Vienna, Milan or Rotterdam - the topic of residential high-rises has always been dealt with in a very differentiated way.
The design is a high-rise residential building for Vienna. In a two-stage analysis phase, the topic is first examined in the area of conflict between the cities of Milan and Vienna, and then, in a second phase, a residential high-rise building is analyzed. The requirements for the design lie initially in the conception of a multifunctional high-rise residential building that generates added value for the neighbourhood. In the planning itself, more complex framework conditions - construction, fire protection, etc. - have to be mastered.
