After successful completion of the course, students are able to methodically develop the design of a building. The students are able to understand design as an integral, simultaneously rational and creative work that attempts to converge in architectural design, taking into account a wide variety of, sometimes disparate and divergent framework conditions. They are able to take an informed position on contemporary positions and problems in their design task. You are able to overcome the structural engineering and construction challenges of sustainable buildings. You are able to create architectural concepts, develop them into a building and comprehensively represent and present them in the form of draft and detailed plans.
Vienna has a long tradition of communal swimming pools and bathing places, starting with combination pools (outdoor pool + indoor pool) in the outskirts, which follow a prototypical pattern; Individual buildings such as the Stadionbad, Stadthallenbad or the Kongressbad; to recreational pools such as the Amalienbad, the old Dianabad or the Oberlaa spa. The construction of all these pools was a long time ago. The city of Vienna has grown significantly in recent times, but the supply of public pools has hardly followed suit.
Swimming pools are facilities that fulfill several important municipal tasks: They are both a social space in which people of all social classes and age groups come together; At the same time, they contribute to public health as a place for both popular and competitive sports. The swimming pool is a place of exertion as well as relaxation, a meeting place. It is a stage for life where people from all backgrounds, young and old, come together to see and be seen.
As part of the design process, the role of the swimming pool in the future should be thought about in an integrative manner and a sustainable, future-proof design should subsequently be created, taking all relevant design aspects into account.
Plans: site plan, floor plans, sections, elevations, details
design concept, structural and construction concept, models
