Cultural spaces on the green belt

New cultural spaces are to be created along the edge of the slope between the residential area and the park. For an annual art and culture festival that attracts large numbers of visitors, the city of N. is holding a competition that combines barrier-free paths, space-creating walls, and themed pavilions. 

The project offers an opportunity to redesign the transition between city and landscape: How can the edge of the slope be strengthened as a “green belt,” what spatial qualities does the location need, and how can sustainability, noise protection, and atmospheric design be convincingly combined?

In this course, students explored a wide range of architectural, urban planning, and open space projects, which they then brought to life in carefully designed models. Through their research, they discovered influential buildings and important planners, while honing their technical skills and design eye through model building. As a result, each project not only resulted in a precise model, but also a deeper understanding of the stories, ideas, and concepts that shape our built environment.

The final projects of the Planning and Building specialisation this year were divided into two thematic areas.

Topic A deals with the Ölhöfles planning area in Augsburg. Here, a new recreational area for information about the city’s water management is being created behind the historic city swimming pool on a previously unused gravel surface. An information pavilion was to be constructed on this area, where information on the city’s history could be displayed.

Topic B deals with the redesign of the banks of the Wertach in the city of Augsburg. On one side of the river, an individual Wertach balcony was constructed. Opposite, on the other side of the Wertach, a neighbourhood square was to be created for recreation and adjacent uses. The difficulty of the task was to put the two riverbanks in correspondence with each other in terms of visibility.

In the course of the redesign of the Wörth area in Nürtingen and the forecourt at the Nürtingen City Museum, the students of the sixth semester were to deal with the site and work through a new appealing design in terms of building construction. In doing so, they worked on design issues as well as urban planning and building construction issues. 

Supervisor:
Dr. Martin Biedermann

In the course of a planned cemetery redesign in Ditzingen, the students developed new design ideas that would do justice to both the devotional site and the inner-city location. These designs were further elaborated in terms of structural engineering and finally presented to the city.

Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Meier

The task of the study project is to set new accents in the Braike campus through a family of modular seating elements. 
The students were tasked with developing a system for special reclining and seating elements. In addition to increased comfort and an appealing appearance, durability, ease of maintenance and moveability were a main focus.

Dipl.-Ing. Felix Meier

The topic of the student research project is the execution planning for a partial area of a fictitious design for a public open space in Baden-Baden Oos for the reconstruction of the festival hall. Elements of the design are different types of path areas, parking areas, a play area, seating elements and differentiated terrain modeling earthworks.

In the module Building in Context, the sixth semester took part in a competition for the design of the outdoor area of a winery in Bruchsal. In addition to a design plan, several implementation plans were to be submitted.

Supervisor: Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Meier

In the execution planning module of the 6th semester building specialization, natural stone walls were analyzed according to various assessment criteria in order to understand their construction method. Furthermore, an execution planning was prepared for a design project of the lower semesters.

The focus of Building Construction 3 is on designing and constructing with wood and steel. 
In this project, the shore area at Beutwangsee in the Neckarhausen district of Nürtingen was to be redesigned to improve the quality of visitors’ stay.
