Hochstapler

A temporary festival centre for the steirische herbst

Is it possible to establish a maximum of attention and concrete new possibilities of use and play for an existing location — the Forum Stadtpark — in a resourcesaving way? Yes, with a re-usable deposit and return object, infinitely available, with enormous potential: the Euro pallet. Diverted from its normal purpose it becomes the component for temporary architecture just as well as the brick for a durable house. The architecture with expiry date crosses and breaks the existing building, spatially, typologically and aesthetically. A productive disturbance. Especially in its ephemerality it strives for great presence.

Award: Steirischer Holzbaupreis, AT

Category
Invited competition, 1st prize

Location
Graz, AT

Completion
2010

Client
steirischer herbst

Area
450 m²
