Design project by Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Manuel Thesing and Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Johannes Schilling

Layers of time - Visitors centre for the Olympic Village of 1936 Berlin

The new entrance for the Olympic village is located a few meters

eastward of the existing situation. It generates a neutral point of

origin for the discovery of the elements of the site. The ambivalent

environment with its idealized landscape and the reserved view of the

architectural monuments are part of the concept which can be felt at

the entrance.

site plan relation of views

From this point the visitor has a view over

the complete area and can establish a visual

relationship between the individual elements.

The panels form a counterpart to the ancient

buildings from different times.

A small point of sale outlet marks the start of

the route which follows the internal logic of the

centre. Two panels shape the visitor’s centre

located in the area of the ancient bastion. The

panels run parallel to a birch avenue planted

during soviet occupation.

detail drawing of the floor plan

As a spatial element they disturb the idyllic

landscape – they create boundaries as a

symbol for the conflict between sport, the

Third Empire and the GDR. The layers can

also be understood as showing the invisible

border between infantry school and military

hospital.

longitudinal section ground floor entrance | third floor café

exhibition

The horizontal striped structure of the walls provides a fragmentary view of the area; only

glimpses of distinctive objects are given by purposeful gaps. The path to the reception building is

marked by these precise and vague views of the ensemble or individual ancient buildings. After

passing the entrance area and facilities such as WC and storage rooms the visitor immerses into

the landscape and experiences the cuts made. The multi-functional room at the end of the lowest

level is total submerged in the ground and is lit via a skylight. The trip through the history of the

Olympian village begins at the first ramp. Views of historic landmarks are granted, sometimes

framed though both panels. This framing accentuates the objects through both depth effect and

blending out the background. Information and historic background is provided on the middle

panel wall. Upon arrival at ground level, the visitor is invited to enter the landscape and process

the information and glimpses gained along his journey though exploration on-site. A further ramp

leads to a café. The exposed location and broad window of the café grants a wide ranging view

of the entire area.

The visit to the Olympic village becomes an experience of the changing history of the site through

intense examination.

Guidecca Campus Venedig

site plan

The site for the development of a new campus

building is located at the Guidecca Canal

between two university buildings. The idea

was to create a new venue for students.

The design suggests a landscape, which

is divided into three different levels. This

arrangement is generated by the main traffic

routes of the students arriving either from the

city or from the water’s edge. The third route

describes the direct connection between the

two university buildings.

leading slashwall

The building only appears as building from

the city side – from the waterside it forms a

topography. This artificial landscape contains

a cafe with exhibition space and a library

which can serve as an attraction for the

campus.

Hence the building reacts as a junction

between the neighbouring faculties. The

entrance is located on the second level.

Visitors are navigated by a wall with lighting

slots which divide the scenery into the second

and third level.

City Terrace Brünn

site plan

The site is located at the river Svratka opposite the architecture faculty and

next to the main road to the centre of Brünn.

At this point the surrounding development with its block structure built during

the promoterism period has a gap. The buildings are lower so that they

disrupt the block structure.

The idea was to close the front-line and to strengthen the urbane character

through usage as a student centre. The center consists of four buildings

containing administration, habitation and leisure spaces. As the topology

descends towards the town center, a platform is formed at the base of the

site.

analysis concept

Entrance to the parking and a grand staircase to the first terrace are positioned at the high-end of

the platform. The terrace contains a refectory and has a view over the river and the faculty. Above

this refectory are administration and convention spaces. The second cube with its long and

narrow shape closes the front-line of the street and contains exhibition space for student works.

The cafe opposite the refectory supports the public and communicative character of the first terrace. The second terrace court can be reached by

a few stairs down or by a side entrance via the street. From this point at the ground floor the visitor can reach both the café and the library. Student

habitation of varying structure is located above both blocks.

The apartments above the library are

orientated towards the inner court and have

an access balcony to filter traffic noise. The

apartments above the café are accessed via

a central core have balconies with views over

the landscape and an old monastery.

House top scenery Dresden

A lot of inhabitants decide to live in high

rise buildings made of precast concrete

slabs because of the breathtaking views

which counter balance their bad image.

Whoever has had the opportunity to convince

themselves of city skylines and faraway

landscape views can suspect the high

potential of unused roof tops. The idea was

to create a viewing platform on one of these

precast concrete slab buildings, making the

experience of height a special event.

site plan

Reacting to the strict geometry of these buildings, the design counters with another spatial

geometry - an aslope. This principle is based on the landscape, the relief-like roof terrain.

The design with its sloped triangle surfaces and enclosures following different conceptions,

sharpen the visitors senses.

One of these focuses on the historic town of Dresden. Another theme is the wind that can

be heard and felt. The roof top platform offers spaces to hide as well as spaces which are

extroverted, such as the highlight experience of walking a “catwalk” with city views. Contrary to

the city focus, the platform also offers a view of the floodplains east of Dresden’s city gates.

All in all this kind of roof landscape functions as a brief escape from everyday life and enables

visitors to focus on substantial things.
