TOPSPIN – Indoor Tennis Centre for the Saxon Tennis Association STV
Module nr.: PRO_2-HE_K+T
Mentoring: Prof. Ansgar Schulz, Prof. Benedikt Schulz, Felix Haunstein, Tornike Kublashvili, Sarah Najork, Paul Schmelzer, Elisa Thänert, Christian Wischalla
Tennis is a game of backstroke in which the players alternately hit the ball over a net into the opponent's half of the court using special rackets. Originally regarded as a rather elitist sport, it has developed over time into a popular sport. For Saxony's greatest tennis talents, the path leads in most cases to the state training centre. This is located at the headquarters of the STV, the Saxon Tennis Association, in the north-east of Leipzig. The facility includes two outdoor clay courts and a four-court hall with a Rebound Ace surface.
The semester assignment is dedicated to the expansion of this area with an indoor tennis complex. A special feature is the intensive supervision of staff from the Chair of Design and Construction I and the Chair of Structural Engineering. The goal is to develop a holistic, integral design idea that combines the aspects of both disciplines into a coherent solution. The design is to provide space for six tennis courts, which can be arranged individually in relation to each other. A durable and sustainable construction method is explicitly required for the tennis hall. When choosing the load-bearing structure, the possibilities and limits of different load-bearing systems and building materials are to be deliberately weighed against each other in order to generate an efficient and resource-saving design solution overall.

Winter semester 2021/22
Built on sand - New building of the beach hall on Spiekeroog
Module nr.: PRO_2-HE_K+T
Mentoring: Prof. Ansgar Schulz, Prof. Benedikt Schulz, Victoria Monari, Felix Haunstein, Fabian Onneken, Christian Wischalla
The North Sea spa Spiekeroog is one of the East Frisian islands in the Wadden Sea of Lower Saxony. Spiekeroog is one idyll. There are only the bare essentials here, plus the North Sea with sand, waves and wind. Beyond the small village centre, the island is a large dune landscape with a huge sandy beach facing the sea. The planned area is about 1 km walking distance from the village centre. The path through the dunes leads exclusively along narrow paths, some of which are paved with cobblestones. A new beach hall is to be designed in this area of tension. The current buildings date back to the 1970s and no longer meet the functional requirements. Essentially, the new beach hall to be planned includes the functions of a large guest room with complete catering, an outdoor restaurant, a workshop, various conference and seminar areas as well as modern living quarters for the seasonal and year-round accommodation of the lifeguards.
The project is committed to sustainable and sensitive development in a special way. In view of the special challenges of the time, the island of Spiekeroog and the site in particular, a sustainable construction method and choice of materials is prescribed. The structurally sealed area with the task is limited to a maximum. Spiekeroog is car-free and deliveries are made via cargo bikes or small electric transporters. Materials, construction, prefabrication and assembly have to be designed with this in mind. The students are expected to engage intensively with these topics during the conception and construction. A special focus of the assignment is the valorisation of the special and sensitive natural experience area. Due to its unique location, the future ensemble will develop an identity-defining effect. The demand for convincing architecture is equally high.

Summer semester 2021
Hoch zu Ross - Riding hall for Mounted Police in the Free State of Saxony
Module nr.: PRO_5-VE_HB
Mentoring: Prof. Ansgar Schulz, Prof. Benedikt Schulz, Lukas Bauer, Felix Haunstein, Fabian Onneken, Michael Schoener
Mounted Police is an integral part of police in the Free State of Saxony. The basis of successful operations is the intensive education and daily training of riders and horses. The Free State of Saxony would like to improve the framework conditions for the Mounted Police in the coming years. An important part is the relocation of the unit from Großerkmannsdorf to Dresden. A new riding hall with stables as well as other service and utility buildings, including the outdoor will necessitate at the site of the Dresden-Nord police station. The aim of the design is to combine the complex functional, typological, constructive and technical requirements in a concise architectural concept.
