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.
Housing production in Vienna takes place in both subsidised and privately financed housing construction via multi-storey housing. On the one hand, this is conclusive, because at first glance it allows the set expectations of a broad housing supply with known standards to be fulfilled.
In the area of horizontal densification, however, there are considerably more possibilities - especially with a visionary view. This concerns not only the housing typology, but also the overlapping or merging of residential and non-residential functions and a completely new definition of community, neighbourhood and neighbourhood. For the housing units, the usual criteria such as flexibility, floor plan, spatial and open space qualities are expanded with aspects such as introversion and extroversion.
The project area is located in the Urban Lakeside Aspern. A currently unplanned plot of land - there are also no designs for the neighbourhood - is the playing field for this "experiment". Questions of urban and settlement structure, mobility, community, cooperation and housing typologies will be addressed. The aim is to develop a two-dimensional urban quarter that is not characterised by perimeter blocks or rows of buildings. The didactic goal is to work in an experimental or visionary way. The current planning reality in Viennese housing is to be consciously questioned, because traditional housing is developed two-dimensionally between storey ceilings. In horizontal densification, however, the third dimension is the decisive factor, as it controls the lighting of such compact volumes and the networking of the different uses.
This design, which is newly defined in the Bachelor's study plan 2021, must be carried out as individual work. A subarea of the urban design concept to be defined is elaborated on a scale of 1:200 (plans/model), technical details such as a façade section on a scale of 1:20
This design studio takes place in presence at the TU Vienna. Participants must at least fullfill the 3G requirements; if the Covid situation deteriorates, this can also become a 1G arrangement.
Design is discourse, this can just temporary moved to the network.
