28/06/2013, MONUMENTS

Nantes, France
2013

The work „28.06.2013, MONUMENTS“ is a collaborative artistic research into the creation of a moment. It celebrates public urban spaces as the spaces for the unplanned occasional encounter with the other, the spaces where the urban culture of tolerance is refined. The open acessibility of the public spaces also makes them potential political spaces, which the work celebrates in a second layer.

Turbulenzen

Eisenstadt, Austria
2012

Die Freigangshöfe spielen im Alltag der Insassen eine hervorgehoben Rolle. Sie bieten fast die einzige Chance zu sozialem Austausch und selbst bestimmter Handlung. Sie sind für uns der „öffentliche Raum“ der Insassen – eine „innere Öffentlichkeit“. Aus den Realitäten des Alltags der Insassen, den Mauern und Zäunen, den Bänken und der Überwachung entwickeln wir Qualitäten, die Höfe werden zum Raum der Möglichkeiten: der Weg wird Spielfläche, der Rasen in Form eines Hügels zur Landschaft und die Holzbänke können im Workshop erstellt werden.

Project

Bat Yam Generator

Bat Yam, Israel
2012

As the lighthouse is used already as a meeting place for the kids and for the elderly of the quarter and as there are workshops already held in a variety of subjects, what we would like to introduce there is a whole lot of experience and connections to groups within the quarter which could perfectly serve as a soil for intensifying communal richness and collaboration. One tool we are working with for achieving a stronger connection is a rather classical tool for architects – the building of beauty. In relation of what we have learned what the activities in place are about we introduce some quite simple yet effective means of spatial and functional improvements that make this location attractive. Wherein the private gardens, fences and divisions are put up voluntarily, the regulations drive the public building to create cage like atmosphere by the set of fences put in between each unit of a school/kindergarten/community center. In our proposal in creating an urban living space we use part of the built borders in order to create a more enclosed space in front of the house by setting up a permeable ceiling which also acts as a sun protector drawing beautiful shadow patterns on the ground. Several parts of the yard and particularly the sports ground in the back of the building are transformed and improved by simple spatial devices such as platforms, stairs, alcoves and espaliers. Within this scheme we propose to have parts of the structural members prefabricated and constructed by a company whereas all the rest should be done within a public building workshop particularly including nowadays users as well as interested new participants of the quarter thus making it their “own” space, building up a strong connection and stake holdership which produces as well responsibility toward the site, joy and belief.

Urban Play

Koge, Denmark
2012

what fascinates us in the harbor is the big scale and abstract form of many of the objects. Even if there is a urban scale in terms of the streets, structures like the silos, the cylindrical tanks, the big conveyor belt, the sand mountains and the ships are introducing this big scale which is comes from the ships and the open sea.

shortcut

Wolfsburg, Germany
2011

Das Projekt „shortcut“ zum Anlass des Aalto Fetivaal besteht aus einer 50 Meter langen temporären Treppenkonstruktion/Brücke, die vom Vorplatz des Alvar-Aalto-Kulturhauses über die Dachlandschaft direkt in den geschützten Innenhof auf der Dachterrasse führt. Die Treppenkonstruktion ist nicht nur ein "short cut" – eine Freiluft-Bar lädt zum Verweilen ein.

Steirischer Herbst 2012 - Marathon Camp

Graz, Austria
2012

Building in an age in which the Holocene era has long since given way to the man-made Anthropocene era, when the sediments of the waste products of civilisation by far exceed those of nature, means building with materials that do not need to be newly produced. With material intended for recycling, or with things that have reached the end of their useful lifecycle. But building a camp for this steirischer herbst also means building for artists, activists, theorists, for visitors, for the city of Graz, for its inhabitants. Building for content, building for the 24/7 enjoyment of being there, giving and taking, discussing, thinking for yourself, learning something new, having a different opinion, having a place where you can be left alone for a while, so as to be able to carry on watching, listening, singing along, getting tired, fighting it. Get a breath of air, go back in, take a break, moan about everything, grab a bite to eat, go to bed. The idea is to give the marathon camp a flexible form, linking the two buildings, the Thalia and Opernring 7, creating a landscape for working and living, a landscape that wants to be used. Not a turnkey facility handed over when the festival begins, but one that is constantly changing during the course of the marathon camp. And which will afterwards proudly sport the scars of a bustling week of living and working.
