feld72 received the 9th South Tyrol Architecture Award in the category Public Building on 11 January
feld72 will be participating in the BAU 2019 with a lecture by Michael Obrist about Kindergarten Niederolang on 15 January
The construction of our social housing project „Neu Leopoldau – Young Living“ is progressing! The topping-out ceremony took place on 10 January on the former gasworks site in Vienna’s 21st district.
»… there is no break between the theoretical and experimental projects of feld72 and their designs for buildings: all of their work, irrespective of scale or means, investigates how the world is engaged and perceived through the lens of architecture. And there is an architectural lesson we can draw from this work, namely that the essence of architecture is nothing architectural.« – Kari Jormakka
New Corporate Headquarters of the Austrian Post AG
The building reflects the polygonal shape of the site and develops it into a staggered, well-proportioned urban module. The new design complements the existing building, part of which is listed as historic monument. A compact, self-assured ensemble emerges. The Rochus Market, at the development’s ground level is continued as a shopping mall with in the building and links via a public passage to the Grete Jost Park. The spacious, light-flooded access level is the backbone between the old and the new building; in the office building it provides for orientation and is a connecting strip. All this materialises as an autonomous, light-flooded and communicative space.

Two-group Kindergarten
The kindergarten illustrates the local mesh of tradition, contemporary life and nature within the slowly grown village structure. The timber building is surrounded by a solid wall, embracing the garden in a friendly gesture. The wall is of varied materiality and volume – it shelters, frames, invites to play and presents insights and outlooks. The building itself remains clear and yet diverse. The spatial concept enables attractive variations in the educational approach – from small areas for retreat to rooms which can be used either connected or individually.

The building’s form harmonises with the corner situation at Helmut-Zilk-Park near the Central Station, a prominent urban development site. The staggered structure adds extra significance to the building’s appearance and simultaneously optimises the incidence of light onto the neighbouring buildings and its own atrium. Its versatility of use is clearly visible: the emphatically public ground floor (with the PrimOrama dance studio) and the office storeys above it form a common socle; the residential floors above are interconnected through the proscenium, which from the outside is a clearly perceptible space; multi-functional spaces act as meeting places for the building’s community and visitors, forming an interactive zone between the inside and outside. The building and the life within provide a basis for reciprocal relationships. A roof landscape crowns the building, with different terraces for communal and private use.

Houses for children
The idea of the educational ensemble originated from a study in 2005, which involved the local community to develop a holistic concept for the village. Based on the original building of the 1970s, where the school and the kindergarten were housed together, a concept developed over the years which allows both facilities more space and interaction whilst at the same time integrating the existing village library. The educational ensemble opens itself to the village and vice versa – it becomes part of everyday life.

3 houses for the children
Building in the Alps was always influenced by the quest for the elemental, the simple, and an intelligent treatment of its specific topography. The three-group kindergarten was embedded in the hillside; on the one hand a building, but on the other an already integrated part of the surrounding landscape. The building combines memorability of form with the surprise and complexity of the interior and exterior room sequences. The concept evolved equally out of a consideration for the scale of the location as a village as well as being based on the children’s perspective.

Young Living
A smart environment for the young and young-at-heart offering a life on the outskirts of the city in a post-industrial context. A residential building as smart module of social life: tiered and networked communal zones and communication areas create the village within the buildings, whilst special extra spaces in the surrounding homes provide room for yet to be defined self-realisation and connect the private with the (semi-) public sphere. As a building this provides a very flexible structure able to inspire imagination and joie de vivre.

My New Home – Rethinking the tradition of municipal public housing in Vienna
The Kapellenhof project is coming to Vienna’s 22nd district: 450 new residential units around a shared urban grove. In collaboration with three residential developers, MIGRA, Neues Leben, and WOGEM, feld72 and AllesWirdGut won the developer’s competition for the construction of 450 apartments on Kapellenweg with a concept informed by the traditional Viennese public housing estate; a clear and confident ensemble laid out around a large communal courtyard – this is the Kapellenhof estate. Much emphasis is placed on the potentials of the site: wide views and greenery! Small-scale buildings on the fringes and a courtyard as large as a football field provide an open view for each apartment. The courtyard is kept open as an adventurous, topographically varied urban grove that offers private coves for retreat as well as open clearings.

Die neue Wohnsiedlung ist der Versuch, in einem heterogenen Kontext einen Ort zu schaffen. Gemeinsam mit dem denkmalgeschützten Zürcherhaus entwickelt sich das Ensemble aus 8 Baukörpern (67 Wohnungen) rund um einen Anger mit Kinderspielplatz und entlang der linearen Struktur der Nachbarshäuser. Durch klare Setzung der Baukörper bezüglich Orientierung, Ausblicke und Raumbildung untereinander entsteht ein dorfräumliches Gefüge, welches einer gewachsenen Struktur ähnelt. Durch eine Tiefgarage bleibt der Großteil der Freiflächen der Siedlung autofrei. Ein Gemeinschaftsraum und die gemeinsamen Freiflächen schaffen Identität und Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl.

Living in a rural context
The residential context with 25 units evokes various patterns of previous agglomerations in Kaltern. The architecture strikes the eye as familiar, simple and straightforward. Yet, when used and moved through as a space, it manifests its own complexity and surprises. Nature and architecture merge seamlessly in specific spots, orderly arrangement becomes an organically grown structure, and vice versa. A residential and play street is at the heart of the complex and will be the determining element of the social environment. The complex is surrounded by little pathways, combining with the residential street and green corridor to form a convoluted pathway network, opening up the very diverse, semi-public spaces for communication and interaction as well as for retreat.

Urban planning framework
Based on the basic idea of anchoring the school in civilian awareness as site for learning, the question arises as to whether this must perforce be solved through a building (or coherent building structure), or an urbanistically generated network of several buildings in the urban context. We believe that by continuously spinning out the existing patterns of urban planning, the school can become part of the district in an unforced and natural way. The goal is to create scope for options capable of reacting to the dynamic developments of today’s society. Moreover, dovetailing the school with the city always means opening things up and a readiness to react to changes.

Die Entwurfsstrategie für die neue Wohnbauzone Edlrauth basiert darauf, das Prinzip der Gruppierung von einfachen Baukörpern zu kleineren dorfbaulichen Einheiten von Burgstall aufzunehmen, und das dorfbauliche Muster nicht durch eine Großform zu stören. Das neue Ensemble besteht aus einer Gruppe von 8 Baukörpern, die sich um einen klar definierten Freiraum artikulieren, der Identität stiftet und ein gemeinschaftliches Wohnen unterstützt. Die Bebauung berücksichtigt die Topographie und den Kontext, und versucht durch Blickbeziehungen und das Aufnehmen der Qualitäten vor Ort (wie z.B. der Bezugnahme zu dem Wasserkanal) eine eigene Atmosphäre für die Siedlung zu schaffen. Edlrauth soll zum selbstverständlichen Teil von Burgstall werden.

In Shenzhen in China as part of the Biennale for Urbanism and Architecture organised by Shenzhen / Hong Kong in 2010 a primary series of PublicTrailers© was set up to expand the city’s public space with new components that transcend commerce, and at the same time to continue the tradition of informal tactics in the Asian urban environment. The mobile Speakers’ Corner sees itself as homage to the possibility of free speech in the public space; PublicKaraoke is a mobile analogue karaoke unit exploiting the medium’s success in order to dynamise underdeveloped urban districts. UrbanBoxing is an instrument that aspires on the one hand to divert the latent aggression of a society – officially based on harmony – in a spirit of fair play, and also to acknowledge the great tradition of martial arts in the Chinese urban environment.

Playable scultpure park
feld72 designs the first of overall 12 minigolf courses of MQ Amore on the foresquare of MuseumsQuartier Wien. In a setting of 38 red minigolf balls the real playing ball becomes an obstacle, “losing” itself because of its interchangeability. The artists have signed the work in braille formed out of golf balls. This makes the camouflaged authorship itself an element of the playful environment. The materials used in the minigolf course, Muschelkalk stone and brass, are a clear reference to the architecture of the Leopold Museum, which nominated feld72, making the installation a prominently placed artifact representing its institution.

The house as a village
Four small tower houses are grouped around a common centre as one building. The house becomes a village: on the ground floor the small houses provide a place for communication and community. On the top floor a bridge connects the individual houses and their rooms, ensuring retreat and concentration. The lofty tower house leads to the terrace. The building is striking for its ambiguous play with the scale and with interior and exterior, which is reflected in the choice of material. Heights and depths, wide and narrow spaces and the resulting outlooks and interplay of light define the house’s character and atmospheres.

Living in the financial district
In the Neutorgasse, in the first district of Vienna, a representative mid 19th century Gründerzeithaus is being renovated and converted to a very high standard. During the course of its substantial re-development, the building is renovated, extended and returned to its original residential and commercial use. Due to the importance of the building to the surrounding municipal ensemble (protected zone), particular attention is paid to the careful addition of the attic extension. The new attic conversion added below the original roof is set apart from the existing facade and the edge of the coronation cornice via a fugue.

In the Neutorgasse, in the first district of Vienna, a representative mid 19th century Gründerzeithaus is being renovated and converted to a very high standard. During the course of its substantial re-development, the building is renovated, extended and returned to its original residential and commercial use. Due to the importance of the building to the surrounding municipal ensemble (protected zone), particular attention is paid to the careful addition of the attic extension. The new attic conversion added below the original roof is set apart from the existing facade and the edge of the coronation cornice via a fugue.

Die Wohnbebauung steht im neuen Stadtentwicklungsfeld Viola Park in direkter Nachbarschaft zur neuen Generali Arena. Das Ensemble aus L-Typus und Punkthaus mit 160 Wohnungen wird durch einen gemeinsamen Sockel, welches einen Kindergarten mit 6 Gruppen beherbergt, zusammengehalten. Es schließt sich zu Stadium und Straßenraum Richtung Schulcampus hin ab, und schafft einen geschützten Innenhof, der sich zum Parkraum hin öffnet. Kommunikationsbereiche, Spielflächen und ein großer Gemeinschaftsraum dienen dem sozialen Austausch. Die Artikulation des Dachgeschosses schafft eine abwechslungsreiche Silhouette und klare Freibereiche. Für Austria-Fans gilt: Näher kann man nicht bei seiner Mannschaft wohnen…

Communal Living – Cooperative Working
The Quartiershaus, a mixed use building which focuses on communal living and cooperative working, is planned for development near the Central Station, a prominent urban development site in Vienna. The Quartiershaus consisits of the +house (feld72) and the cooperative building (transparadiso) which are connected via a hybrid urban zone and house an urban workshop within their souterrain. Living in the +house distinguishes itself through the cluster apartments and the space’s flexible utilisation – individually expandable residential space, generous room planning for shared living and additional rentable space. The concept is – less exclusive living space and more usable space for all residents.

Cooperative housing development with 23 homes
The houses are grouped around a green inner courtyard common to all in the manner of the village green or the “Common”, as it was once called. The houses are plain and simple in design, reticent in form and expression. Diversity is achieved by varying the openings: room-high windows and structured ceiling strips articulate the façades. Prefabricated sandwich elements made of fair-faced concrete in a warm, earth tone add a sculptural character to the complex.

Das Gesamtprojekt für das Palais Campofranco im Zentrum von Bozen basiert auf verschiedenen Strategien im Umstand mit dem denkmalgeschützten Bestand, um das Areal noch stärker in das städtebauliche Gewebe einzubinden und um starke inhaltliche Akzente setzen zu können.
Der Pavillon des Restaurants mit Zugang zur bestehenden Terrasse ist eine Reflexion des Themas der Orangerie und tritt in der Formensprache in Dialog mit dem bestehenden kleinen Pavillon. Das Ghost-House ist eine Antwort auf die Frage von Erinnerung und Erneuerung und arbeitet in der Fassade des neu zu errichtenden Betonmonolithen mit dem Abdruck des vormaligen Lusthauses an derselben Stelle. Das Wallhouse als Eingangstor zum Areal wird zur Reflexion des Themas der Mauer.

Umgestaltung des Platz der Stadt Hof in Berlin-Neukölln
Die Leitidee ist die Gestaltung eines Platzes, der Freiraum im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes bildet, und nicht wie ein zu eng geschnittenes Korsett Möglichkeiten verhindert. Die vorgefundenen Elemente werden mit den neuen hinzugefügten verdichtet, und bilden einen neuen Brennpunkt am Platz: den sozialen Maschinist. Die Fläche wird freigeräumt. Die Platane als gestaltgebendes Element wird betont, und ihr wird ein funktionaler Gegenpol, der soziale Maschinist, als Dialogpartner gegenübergestellt. Das Leben am Platz spielt sich nun zwischen diesen beiden Polen ab: dem Ruhepol der schattenspendenden Platane, und den verschiedenen Aggregatszuständen des Sozialen Maschinisten, der einige Stücke spielen kann.

Im Stadtarchipel der Leopoldstadt versteht sich das Viertel 2 + als identitätsstiftende Einheit – es bildet Synergien mit angrenzenden Programmen und generiert einen Mehrwert weit über das Quartier hinaus. Die offene Erdgeschosszone definiert Eingangssituationen und bietet Räume für verschiedenste Nutzungen wie den Prater Maker Space, eine Markthalle oder ein Stay Up Business Center. Das Wohnen findet in den Obergeschossen in kompakten Solitären statt. Durch die Geometrie der Gebäude sind große Durch- und Weitblicke für alle Wohnungen möglich – niemand ist in der zweiten Reihe und es gibt keine Nord Wohnungen. Die umlaufenden Balkone mit ihrem zarten Schleier schaffen passiven Sonnenschutz und auch Privatsphäre.

Die bereits für die von feld72 geplante Markas Zentrale in Österreich in St.Pölten entwickelte Corporate Identity fand auch in diesem Gebäude ihre Kontinuität. Transparenz und Offenheit als auch die flache Hierarchiestruktur des Unternehmens mit ca. 7.000 Mitarbeitern finden hier ihre räumliche Ausprägung.

The redevelopment of Schwedenplatz – clearly one of Vienna’s most important urban nodes – aims at creating a new zoning by determining five clearly defined segments. Emerging from the adjacent urban context, these areas emphasize the predominant local qualities.
A distinctive arrangement of tree rows as well as green recreational islands are tying together the square’s five areas while creating a clear zoning and orientation.
In addition, each of the segments receives a leafy pavilion or folly with a specific theme. The use of the five pavilions is manifold – they serve as meeting places, allow expansive views, integrate infrastructure or offer niches for insects and birds. These pavilions become the new landmarks of the Schwedenplatz.

The urban concept is a continuation of the comb structure, defined in the urban planning model of Prohaska / Hoffmann. The project has the aim, despite the heterogeneity of the construction law requirements, to create and strengthen a sense of togetherness and a feel of commonality. The regular technical scope (utilization of the plot) is optimally utilized in favor of all the residents (and neighbors), made artistically visible and livable felt. Special attention in terms of building modeling and program is made because of the importance of the public entrance in the Kirschblütenpark.

The dense coexistence of sex workers, refugees, idyllic street life, homeless, families and so on in some corners becomes concentrated into something that is specifically St. Pauli. But what matters here is less the place than the special atmosphere of “live and let live”. The core issue is the search for urban structure, which also makes room for contradictory neighbourhoods. Apart from the structural settlements, the concept shapes the conditions for a process-based appropriation, organisation and design of public, semi-public and semi-private spaces through the respective users.

The major theatres of the capital city of the Federal Land unite on the Rathausplatz in St. Pölten in a ticket office. The remodelling of the facility plays on the elements and properties of the theatre. The curtain as principle element of the wall design embodies the separation of two worlds. The velvet curtain partly hides and shows what is concealed behind it. The ticket sales counter is in the front area and the “box” is at the rear, so to speak a grand circle situation for personal advising, also accoutred with props alluding to the world of the theatre.

Housing and tertiary utilization
Kurtatsch in South Tyrol has a significant architectural quality as a village. In the older part of the village centre houses are not individual objects but part of a larger whole, which brings together diverse building types and defines the streets. The “court” is not only named after Kurtatsch (see lat. cors/cortis: the court), it is also an ever-present typology in the form of the surrounding walls of the courtyard. But there are also the unassuming, quiet places. This is where the project comes in – in an attempt to create atmospheric densification: a residential development that is natural and dignified in location, dynamically charged in dealing with heights, types and materials of the planning context.

The building establishes an interface between the linear infrastructures and the agglomerated village structure. It is located in a slope, congenial and familiar. Closed towards the Passer, open towards the village. Each side responds to different viewpoints: when passing by at speed, it takes effect as a linear building, meanwhile the view towards the village takes account of the viewpoint and scale of both child and pedestrian, so the building takes shape with clearly identifiable areas. Diversity in unity. As a longhouse it is a memorable, elemental building, contextually variegated by using and subtly alienating typical local elements This gives a new meaning to the village: identity is created without reliance on strong contrasts.

In 2007 Gilberto Kassab with one law changed the perception of the public space and the possibilities of architecture in a city of 11 million people (20 millions in the greater metropolitan area). The Mayor of São Paulo with the “Lei Cidade Limpa” (The law for the clean city) re-defined the rule of advertisement in public space, and in fact he banned it. Empty billboards have become the fragile remains of a formerly overexposed city, but it is in the night, when the main difference between the present and the past is evident:
No memories of Time-Square, no global competition against Tokyo´s Ginza, no evocation of Bladerunner. A city where light has just been reduced again to illuminate, and not to communicate. A city full of beauty farms and cosmetic surgery, but no billboard with seduction through advertisement of the perfect female body …

Refurbishment and extension
The reorganisation and unbundling of different functions leads to a clear spatial separation between school and extra-school activities. The structural solution takes shape within the context as a spatially incisive figure with a unique, identity-forming address. The residential development in the east is shielded effectively against noise. The central schoolyard is framed spatially by shifting the music pavilion south-west towards the public car park, while the spatial relationship to the inner courtyard via a ring-shaped arrangement of all communal areas assumes status as the defining motif of the plan.

Communication strategy in the public space
As part of the City of Vienna’s guidelines for building culture, an exhibition and a strategic master plan were conceived for communication to the city’s inhabitants – organised for the first time as a collective project by a team of curators, architects, open space planners and architecture educationalists in coordination with the MA 19 of the City of Vienna.
feld72, nonconform and inspirin developed a series of themes on building culture in five locations in the public space, which were enacted in partnership with the photographer Hertha Hurnaus.

Kindergarten and elementary school
The project responds to the morphology of the context, the existing terracing of the slope is picked up and continued as a design parameter. In an informal manner the staggered structure splits the property into two different open spaces, resulting in organizational conciseness and functional advantages. The multipurpose pitch and the common area for kindergarten and elementary school lie by the road, while the open spaces are on the slope side.

The building extension with library and daycare centre takes shape in its context as a spatially striking edifice with a unique address generation. The school building will be preserved for the most part; sensitive refurbishment opens up dramatic interiors to the same extent as it aims at variety in juxtaposition to the new building.

Detached houses reflecting the character of the surrounding village structure combine with the existing school, the community centre, the church and the neighbouring inn to form the new centre of the municipality of Mellau. A skilful distribution of the individual buildings will reinforce and shape the identity of the public space. Sequences of variously featured squares and places for lingering and meeting people, also the transitions from the community centre to the kindergarten area are differentiated without boundaries and invite people to a diverse and communal use of the public space.

Through its compact appearance and pergola typical of Brixen’s historic centre the three-storeyed building with basement level impresses as a striking landmark of urban development. Setting back the three-storeyed building towards the north limits of the area produces a building that fits in and yet makes its own statement. In dialogue with the indoor climbing hall the constructional component “floating” on the socle is given an undulating aluminium façade. Discreetly matte, velvety aluminium coffers reflect the light like organ pipes, and the gentle escalation /crescendo in the elevation of the façade elements culminates in each vertex of the building.

The new arena situated in a sensitive spot in terms of urban development at the entry into Bruneck. It will be a landmark visible from afar: the arena, conceived in architectural culture and history of ideas as heir to the Colosseum, meets the South Tyrolean landscape. Typology and topography fuse into a new hybrid – the embedding of the building into the landscape is coupled with spatial efficiency and atmospheric densification: in the outside zone there is a clear assessment of the architectural context and sensitive embedding in the landscape situation, meanwhile inside we have a resonance body for the atmosphere of contest in the arena. A win-win situation – the rise of a unique building, in the truest sense of the word.

Viennese city squares are normally planned out down to the smallest detail. We want to confront these squares with Südtiroler Platz, which gains its identity through a more open way of exploiting the potential of occupation and usage. We are creating a clear periphery and an open, unregulated green centre zone, which creates a relaxed and leisurely social environment. The periphery is defined by a wooden bench 250m long; it can be used in multifaceted ways and its course generates the most diverse spatial and social situations. Part of the funds for planning the square is used for activating the void, offering scope for new uses with a dynamism that reverberates onto the square. How the “wild” centre is filled is now up to the people.

In terms of urban architecture the new fire brigade building reacts within a loose structure of detached family houses to the status quo of the school at its rear. The architectural concept involved graduating the building in accordance with its purposes and spatial needs. Its structure is designed as a three-storey construction with compact organisation and the single-storey vehicle garage. The basic idea was to create a building equal to the functional and technical demands and procedures of a fire station, and one which also accommodates multiple uses for the community.

It is envisaged as a building of timeless elegance with a strong regional association. Here, the aspiration is to interweave, with utmost sensibility, the ambitious spatial programme of a total of approx. 26,000 m³ into the context of a protected ensemble. A building perceived as three different units on the one hand continues the village dimension, on the other gives scope to the urban architectural configuration, as well as to picturesque views through houses and wider prospects so typical of the village centre. The multi-layered ensemble generates public space. The ground floor zone with bar, terraces and shops proceeds in smooth transition to the pedestrian precinct, a high-quality social situation inviting people to meet and linger.

Artistic Encounter and Installation
Scene of the project is the estuary area of the Isonzo near the industrial town of Monfalcone, which on the one hand is a nature reserve, on the other remarkable for an illegally erected lake dwelling settlement. This witness to an anarchistic building culture is threatened with extinction, but together with the nearby shipyard will set up an arena for artistic interventions on the themes of migration, speculation and white-collar crime – the starting point of a journey into the “art informel” of Italy.

A town square is always defined by its margins – should there be scope for usages on the margins of the square they automatically flow into it. Since the context of the Magnago Square does not offer any usage options such as cafés, etc., it will always be a place that defines itself through its respectful and constantly refillable „emptiness” as a potent space spread out in front of the institutions. The square is determined on the one hand by the everyday routine, yet on the other by special usage for festivities and as a „politically symbolic space”, representing the „public sphere”. In homage to the political person of Silvius Magnago and thus to the right of assembly and freedom of speech of every individual in the public sphere, a „Speakers’ Corner” will be set up on the square as a special feature of its design.

The new “Grimm World” is an integral part of the Park am Weinberg. Embedded in the routing system through the park, it respects the historical reference to the former villa buildings in the garden landscape. The museum consists of two structures, a “closed” and mysterious one, and an “open” one. The “closed” building, not accessible from the outside, harbours the actual “Grimm World”, the creations and discoveries, its spiritual cosmos. It is a building of mystery, concealing a costly treasure that waits to be discovered. The “open” building acts as mediator in both architecture and concept and is the entrance to this world. The architecture is simultaneously contemporary and archaic, an architectural gesture playing on the primal theme guiding studies on the Brothers Grimm.

The building volumes are modelled as linear development with breaks and sections to form an urban margin. Each apartment extends from front to back and is thus given an unobstructable view of the sun. The open development acts as a dynamic neighbourhood zone elongated into the vertical. A line of colour connects the two houses subtly from a distance and simultaneously enhances their autonomy. Many differently designed and variably combinable apartment are connected with open spaces and communal uses through the communicative pergola development, ensuring contemporary and permanently flexible housing.

Based on the piano compositions of Erik Satie a spatial installation was conceived that gives rise to a special experience: Satie demanded his work be played 840 times consecutively and at a slow tempo so as to bring out its meditative character. This means that the entire performance lasts 21 hours. The audience is immersed into an extraordinary game with space, time and repetition. Themselves part of the installation, all visitors are invited as audience and actors to perform action instructions parallel to the live piano music and to sound out personal levels of perception.

Follow-up use of an ex-Nato area
In the midst of the mountains, a relic of the Cold War. For decades an inaccessible zone, in its seclusion and impenetrability a place engendering myths. Today, a place waiting for a new purpose. Instead of a commercial re-usage, we propose in a manifesto to retain the unique feature of the Zone: its seclusion. The idea of enacting a temporary project in situ is the only way to give (maverick) thinkers, artists, do-it-yourself experimenters, developers etc. access to the Zone for a specific time in order to celebrate the paradox of freedom latent in the seclusion. The Zone opens its doors to the general public just for a short time each year to show what it has developed during this time. A new myth dawns.

Official Building of Lower Austria
The NHK – Landesamtgebäude Krems (Regional Authorities Building) is less a building than an urban module. The building volume demanded by the spatial programme of the largest passive office building in Austria doesn’t take shape as a total form that negates its context, but fuses into the small-scale plot structure of the location. The typical urban development pattern of Krems’s historic centre – alleyways, bridges between buildings, passages and inner courtyards – are transposed into the present time, and the idea of the building as urban community is also sustained in the interior routing.

Can you build a hotel in 24 days?
How can we boost the micro-economy of a remote region that is seeing a decline in its population? When we were first invited to come to Prata Sannita, a village in the Matese regional park close to Naples, we asked ourselves: couldn´t we perceive this shrinking, 1500-person village as a large, scattered hotel that still had rooms available: the abandoned spaces? In just one month we we able to recruit up to 40 volunteers to work with us on site. Using very straightforward methods, we excavated spaces from the abandoned architecture of the medieval village, reactivating them as “hotel rooms” and a special “bathroom”, which can be used by the Pratesi as an extension of the public space during the “off-season”. “The Million Donkey Hotel” in Prata Sannita shows how a situationist-typee-project can bring life back to an entire village – even in the long run.“

High-quality housing especially in the densely populated urban context is developed in the end only in combination with multifaceted open space planning. The architectural formulation of the concept results in an evocative building cubature, which, on account of its scale, merges simultaneously and naturally with the surroundings. The tiered structure supports the development of expansive open spaces. Each apartment is given its own directly accessible “hanging garden”.
“This unique architecture has engendered a new type of building which in a very special way promotes clear identification and prestige value. … As a whole, the work is an exceptionally innovative and fascinating contribution to the creation of new qualities in inner-city housing.” (Excerpt from the minutes of the jury)

In order to offer a high-quality working environment for a facility service firm in what is in fact a faceless industrial estate in St. Pölten, value was placed on creating a self-enclosed world apart that has great qualities as an interior – like a hortus conclusus. The office zones are organised on only one level on the upper floor, in accordance with the firms’ entrepreneurial identity and culture. The ensuing hierarchy-free spatial organisation between open and closed offices will foster communication. Pixeling and materialising the façade divests the building of its scale and gives rise to a richly faceted and complex interplay between perception of the building and its context.

Yes, with a re-usable deposit and return object, infinitely available, with enormous potential: the Euro pallet. Diverted from its normal purpose it can form the module for temporary architecture just as well as the brick for a durable building. Architecture with an expiration date thwarts and disrupts the existing building, whether in terms of space, typology, or aesthetics – a productive disruption.

Artistic walkabout and intervention
Zones of oblivion are emerging in the middle of Europe – villages in the border zone of Italy, Austria and Slovenia, which were abandoned in recent decades.
Memories are compiled on the way from MoggioUdinese at the entry to theAupa Valley to Mogessa di là, a lost world of a village without any road connection. the people collectively transport fragments of a history, the context of which is not construed until the end of the procession. On arrival at the destination, a BLACKBOX (camera obscura) is set up and thus a place of reflection and imagination. In making a retrospective view possible it serves as collective memory.

Development of a manual for the public sphere in the new Vienna urban development area of Aspern Seestadt with 40,000 inhabitants.
We went to Aspern and asked ourselves: who is going to move here? The planners’ answer: Young families and creative people. People like us. Would we move to Aspern? Or, to be more precise: what does it take to make us move to Aspern?

Village square design for Paasdorf / Paasdorf cultural landscape
The design for a village square with landmark as part of the Paasdorf cultural landscape is a synergetic alignment of two dominant polarities: everyday routine and signal effect. The square is designed to change its appearance according to purpose and greatly fluctuating needs. Village square and parking area are not monofunctionally separated but fuse into a complex whole that is both logical and practical. Its degree of public usage always depends on its users. The signal landmark is the bus stop, remodelled into a public balcony, the Wolkon.

The steps arrangement is the most urban module in the forecourt design. An element connoting hierarchy and authority, it is transformed into a new landmark. It stands for an “open” institution. Diffuse areas are now fused together, creating a zone for lingering, for celebration, and for encounter. The “superelevation” inherent in the character of the steps creates an ambivalent element subverting previous monofunctionality and permitting multiple uses. A stairway is a stairway is a stairway?

“The work of feld72 explores the intersection between architecture, applied urbanism and art. From the very beginning the collective has examined the issues surrounding the use and perception of public space with a series of self-initiated projects called “Urban Strategies”.These 1:1 projects that form the basis for a “theory through practice” have been implemented across Europe and deal with very different types and situations of public space. The examination of space as a social form is also a focal theme in their built architecture projects that have already received several awards as well as in their successful competition entries for major projects, which are now in the construction phase.” (Lilli Hollein).
The Installation is a reflection on that experimental search for an architecture that could response to a broader world-view (“Weltanschauung”), and is itself a view on that
world (“Weltbild”). World in progress…

The design proposes a three-storey, clearly defined building, lower than the surrounding trees, which is integrated in the park structure of the adidas World of Sports in Herzogenaurach, southern Germany. The individually designed internal courtyards and the roof surface – which is completely usable – offer visitors to and staff of the MOM a maximum of leisure time quality and the chance to identify with their own workplace. There is a huge semi-roofed skater park at the entrance. This forecourt is connected via the foyer and a generously dimensioned outdoor stairs with the roofscape. The large running track on the roof addresses the myth of movement, just as the Lingotto in Turin did it its time.

Hoogvliet Outside-in uses the temporary emptiness of big housing blocks within the satellite town of Hoogvliet as part of a strategy to fight the apathy in this area. The individual apartments in the half empty housing blocks are understood as spaces that should be utilised by artists and the population of Hoogvliet with full awareness of their slow but imminent destruction. The intention is that the buildings, as multi-functional units, should become small bastions of exchange of opinion and of positive excess that makes the choice between boredom and criminality obsolete. The units distributed throughout Hoogvliet become a temporary subversive system of possibilities of expression. If everything in outdoor space in the Netherlands is regulated, then indoor space becomes the last utopia.

2007 – The boundaries between the commercial and the public space are becoming more and more blurred. Our immediate environment, whether architectural or media-based, is dominated by advertising and thus by promises of another life. “urbanism – for sale” is taking the prohibition of advertising issued in 2007 for the entire conurbation of São Paulo as impetus to tackle the theme of consumerist mechanisms and reap benefits from this for constructing another world. We are confronting a world of mere promise and never-to-be achieved potential with a world of real experience lived out in the – social – environment: the exhibition area will be the shop window of a concept store of a completely different kind.

Different libraries once scattered through Bolzano will be combined under a single roof, thus creating an efficient new cultural centre, that brings together the three language groups German, Italian and Ladin. The new library centre will be an extension of the public/urban space of an open society. Here it is intended to present the different identities of South Tyrol in a European context to create a public forum. The spatial imprint of this process is an open system of spaces that encourages cooperation while yet preserving individuality.

Wine-selling, bar, lounge, degustation
Along the wine road in South Tyrol a new point of sale was set up for the cooperative winery in Kaltern, the Kellereigenossenschaft that is based as much on the mobile awareness of the twenty-first century as it is on local identity. A charged tension is generated between the visual impression of the uniform shell made of glass fibre-reinforced concrete and the single, large-scale interior it envelops. Here, a sculptural terraced landscape unfolds, which, through its elevation alone, yields a complex sequence of atmospheres and spatial impressions.

Survivalkit for traffic victims
FILEKit© is a project tackling a very unpleasant everyday problem: traffic congestion, “file” in Dutch. The project was part of the First International Architecture Biennale in Rotterdam with the focus on mobility. Besides a permanent installation in the Biennale exhibition facilities, the project FILEKit© also plans a series of events on the motorways surrounding Rotterdam. FILEKit© encourages motorists to transcend the physical and mental barriers of their own vehicle and to communicate with the unexpected, the unfamiliar.

Perception Tools for the Public Space
How can people make the transformations of the public space visible and leave comments and ideas about this in a concrete form in specific locations? The sticker is becoming a medium for visualising some of the invisible parameters that have defined and strongly changed the public environment during recent decades and moreover can come to terms with these parameters in a playful and subversive way. 20,000 stickers with 15 different statements could be picked up freely in each exhibition facility and were distributed by visitors to the appropriate locations in town. A network of significations became visible.

Settlement of the Forecourt in front of the Vienna Museumsquartier
The MQ forecourt is a superlatively situated free space in the heart of Vienna, spacious and underrated. A suburban parcelling out of plots harbours great potential as an architectural feature: feld72 cultivated the hitherto unused forecourt temporarily as a private allotment settlement. Without events, the provision of appropriate tools evoked the use of this undeveloped area. Passers-by and occupants were motivated to become actors in the urban space. The short-term “privatisation” gave rise to the paradox of a previously non-existent public space.
