This project was about developing a design concept for the olympic park in Lon-don within the olympic games 2012. The concept should be created through computational parametric design. In that case, the aim was not only to design one project, but a field of different objects which are all build up through the same paramatric code.

The concept for the park should include objects in a small scale, so we decided to design benches and pavillons which are placed within the building site.

in cooperation with Fischer David and Fritz Ferdinand.

We developed a few scripts within Autodesk Maya in order to build up a design process based on and controlled by defined parameter.

>script 1The script creates a controlable amount of curves between two points on the spline from the siteplan. The form of these curves depends on the character of the spline between the two chosen points.

>script 2This algorithm controls the design process of the objects.By choosing two out of the curves created in script 1, four points on these two curves can be controlled. (start_end_min1_min2).

Depending on the entered parameters, the script creates different objects to fullfill their function as benches, bars or pavillons.

>script 3Through this script the created surface is subdivided by a controlable grid. Within this grid, a structure with a definable width is placed.

>script 4This script generates the perforation of the created objects. Each element within the grid has a perforation. The size of it is controlled by this script. We marked interesting places within the building site, the script calculates the differences between these places and the orientation of the perforated elements. The smaller the deviation the bigger the perforation.

>script 5Finally we also worked on a parametric controlled structure. Depending on the inclination of every element within the grid on the surface the structure was more or less deep-ened. The steeper the element the deeper the structural pattern.

The aim of the building design course is, not only to design a single family house, but to evolve understanding for structural engineering and to work out a project all the way to detailed construction drawings of the building.I designed a two storey single family house where the living room is uplifted to provide a higher and gorgeous room. Another advantage of the split level design is to mirror the light through small windows from the swimming pool underneath inside the kitchen area.In the ground level there is the kitchen and the dining area, a storage room, the home office, a toilet, the garage and an entrance area. The living room is uplifted half of a storey.In the upper floor there is a small relaxing area, two rooms for children, a sleeping room, a bathroom und a toilet.The facade is covered with Alucubond elements, the south east fassade of the building is a steel-glass construction. An outside shading prohibits too much of sunlight and insight into the private rooms.

Within the building design course we had to work out the building design, the working drawings and detailed construction drawings.

>THILEIA This project creates a spiritual space, which could be used by everyone to calm down and to focus on themself.

Based on the given program I began to work with the Klein Bottle, which became the basis of the whole project.According to this mathematical shape I developed following hypothesis: - The inside of the building should not be clearly devided from the outside - The space should be explored on a looped way - In the building the visitor should become the most important part and should be confronted with the surrounding architecture.

Important attributes of the building are the natural lighning situation (the eye, the voids and the facade) and the different kind of spatial experiences.

>klein bottle The klein bottle is a mathematical complex form. It consists of just one surface, that’s why it belongs to the group of non oriented surfaces. That means that there is no inside or outside, but only one face.

The klein bottle is an object of study in topology, which is a major area of mathematics.Topology is concerned with new spatial properties beyond length, or other geometrical properties. These new properties are preserved despite of a continuous deformation of an object.

>Program / System Bionic is a relatively new science in which processes happen-ing in nature are analyzed and transported to a different field of science. According to that, we had to design a project which is based on a system in nature.Derivated from bacteria, we designed a modular system, which creates space through linear and horizontal addition of elements.The system is variabel und controlable. Out of the base form it is possible to create different kind of shapes just by changing the angle between the elements.Every strip of elements has the same length and each element is individually contro-lable and can be fixed at every position.The elements are connected mechanically, which is built rather massive to deal with the forces.The strips stick together magnetically.

>lounge In this case, we used our developed system to create a club / lounge. The system is used to shape benches, seats, tables and a bar. The strips had a width of 30cm which was perfect for using it as furniture but also as steps to get to the upper level.

>site We decided to choose the rooftop of a building in Lissabon / Portugal as our building site. Currently the place is used as a skate park. We chose this place because our aim was to use the developed system as a lounge. Because of the beautiful panoramic view over Lissabon and the sea, the rooftop was the perfect place for our project.

>analysis of spatial design... The aim of this course was, to choose a building with extraordinary spatial qualities and to analyse it. The method of analysing was not determinated by the lecturer.We chose the Steinhaus of Günther Domenig in Steindorf / Austria, because of its radical, uncompromising handling of space. Hardly any other building is so much just about space and is situated between sculpture and architecture.Each of the other projects of Domenig has an impact on the Steinhaus. For over 20 years Domenig followed his visions and materialized them in this building. In our analyzis we decided to concentrate on the design process, analysing it and to interpret it for ourself.The most important part of our analysis was building physical models as an interpretation of Domenig’s design drawings.At the end of the course we made an exhibition of our work at our university.

In cooperation with Fischer David and Fritz Ferdinand.

>topic The content of this course was to think about and consolidate our specific point of view on architec-ture. The aim was, to be able to define kind of a guidline towards the essence of one’s architecture.

In this process we wrote some essays, but also had to design a small object containing the acquired knowledge.

digital model of the Klein Bottlewith the endless path on the non oriented surface

>klein bottle The klein bottle is a mathematical complex form. It consists of just one surface, that’s why it belongs to the group of non oriented surfaces. That means that there is no inside or outside, but only one face.

The klein bottle is an object of study in topology, which is a major area of math-ematics.Topology is concerned with new spatial properties beyond length, or other geo-metrical properties. These new properties are preserved despite of a continuous deformation of an object.

>complex spatial solutions - atmosphereIn my designed object, the Klein Bottle showed my fascination for complex spatial solutions independent of the geometric form. I used “Fimo” to shape the Klein Bottle.

In my opinion, architecture is neither just about form nor just about functionality. The most important part for me, is the emotional message, architecture transports to its user. I appreciate architecture which invites its user to think about it and stays in their minds for a longer period of time.According to that, views through, inside or outside the building, the connection of spaces but also the proportion of rooms and their relationship to each other are very important factors to control the atmosphere within a building.I think it is also very important to think about the path on which a user experiences the space.

>genius lociAnother element I wanted to add to the object was a piece of wood I found at a place which is important for me.The storys and the background of a location has a very great impact on architec-ture. Not only the form should fit in its surrounding, but also the concept and the idea behind the architecture should match with the building site.

>the userArchitecture should be designed individually for the people using it.Hence I wanted the object to contain a mirror to see yourself while holding it. So, the object always changed and contained different properties for different people.

>task The given topic of this design course was “Welttheater” - which means something like world theater, but not just refering to theater but also to global topics. Within all the possibilities this topic offers, I defined for myself to design a building as an urban public space according to my interests in staging public space. Within the public space there is an experimental theater, which includes six stages. There are no seats inside the theater. The idea was, to create a theater of movement in which people are following the spectacle from stage to stage choosing for themself which storyline to follow.

>The public space In my opinion, public space is one of the most important tasks in todays urban design. Though Innsbruck is a rather small town, it also has to deal with a lack of public space.Ludwig Hilbersheimer’s vision of the skyscraper city shows the possibility to design a city in different levels. Asian cities such as Bangkok show this idea too by building different levels for different transportation systems or pedestrians.I used this thesis for my project by building a vertical public space.

>site My building site is next to the Franziskanerplatz in the center of Inns-bruck / Austria. I chose this place because in my opinion it is one of the last

public spaces and the one with the highest pedestrian frequence in town. Different types of people (tourists, locals, businessmen) cross this place, so

it is a perfect match for my built public space and theater.

>looped path The idea of creating a public space and my vision of architecture as an ex-perience leaded to design the way through the building as a looped path.

> polydrama Created by Joshua Sobol, this new form of theatrical experience gives the audience the possibility to create their own storyline. Each episode plays on a different stage and the audience move freely from stage to stage creating their own version of the drama.The polydrama leaded me to my idea of creating a space continuum with different kinds of stages inside the building which is enclosed to the public part of it.

>landscape Between and underneath the building, a landscape connects the Franziskanerplatz with the Anger-zellgasse. Thus the public space is enlarged and a new important link within the inner city is created.

>entrance Besides the main entrance from the Franzis-kanerplatz, there are another two entrances from impor-tant inner city places, which are connected to the building through underground paths. Light is reflecting down from the pavement above. Connected to the underground paths there are rehearsal rooms for rent for young bands. There is a connection the a parking garage too.

>stages Each of the six stages inside the theater is defined by a different relationship between actors and audience. All of them root in stage designs in the early 20th century.

The proscenium stage clearly devides actors and audience, the actors are on a stage.

At the second stage, actors and audience are on the same level and there is no disconnection at all.This type is influenced by the “Podiumsklavier” de-signed by Werner Ruhnau.

There are also two vertical stages, one with the actors acting above the audience, and one acting underneath. Both stages are influenced by the vision of the “Kugeltheater” by Andor Weininger.

In the tribune, the audience and the actors are devided because of a slightly lifted audience area. It is influenced by the form of a classic arena.

The space stage is influenced by the space stage of Friedrich Kiesler. There are three connected stage levels, the audience is spiraling outside of the stages.

>conclusionLike I wrote already at the beginning, I did not want to show just the results of my projects but primarily the thoughts and the process behind the projects.I think, thats also very important for the whole architectural education: to develope concepts and to evolve a design strategy for myself.In my opinion, the resulting form of the project is not most important because a concept has the capability to lead to different resulting projects.I believe, that a strong spatial concept still remains when the project is already built. In my opinion, UN Studio’s Mercedes Benz museum in Stuttgart is such a building. Visitors get confronted with the spatial concept as soon as they start walking on the visitors path. I think, it is nearly impossible not to think about architecture and the concept behind the building while visiting this museum.

That is something, I really want to achieve with architecture for myself. People should experi-ence architecture, not just using it, or looking at it.
