Digital Design Fabrication 2012
Parametric Envelope Structures The seminar centred upon the investigation of engineering and fabrication methods for the realization of a 1:1 parametric envelope structure – contributing to the ever-expanding catalogue of proto-architectural solutions made possible through digital methods. Furthermore the workshop sought not only to examine the formalization of digital design methods but also respond to [...]
Rhythmic Embodiment
A hybrid building of a music center (music school, concert hall, club) and public hub space as a complementary structure to the traffic node and broken urban fabric of the Schottentor, Vienna. The scheme reacts to the site specifically by utilizing an interweaving structure/building set with the landscape and surrounding built environment at the site. [...]
Multiple Natures – Taiwan Tower
The Taiwan Tower will become an innovative landmark people will identify with in present as well as in future times. Therefore the tower should not state a fixed meaning or image, but trigger people to invent and create their own interpretations of the tower’s meaning. To evoke multiply and diverse images the tower has to [...]
Ragnitz Revisited (Domenig/Huth)
Domenig & Huth were commissioned to create a proposal for Waltendorf-Ragnitztal. The land used for agricultural purposes was bought on the cheap and the site should be covered with buildings in order to maximize the profit.They created an urban structure that includes all different kinds of supplies for its inhabitants. The assembled units create a [...]
Looking Up (Exhibition at the MAK Gallery)
The installation at the MAK operates at the interface between the model context and reality: a large, diagrammatic configuration of structure studies becomes a three-dimensional intervention into the space of the MAK Gallery itself and at the same time serves as both base and display unit for the models and animations of the exhibitions. [...]
Infobox Vienna Central Station
This study was carried out for the design of an information box for the construction site of Vienna Central Station. The structure was to be raised 22 meters above ground level. Options for load transfer to the ground were severely limited by underground sewers, a parking lot and a bus terminal. Although the steel structure [...]
Marxer Active Energy Building
The Marxer Active Energy Building in Vaduz introduces a novel system of efficient and economic, yet architecturally intriguing bearing structures for housing units. Instead of a traditional approach based on a regular grid of straight columns, inclined columns were introduced that drive through the buildings volume, constituting a symbiosis of functional and architectural [...]
