Constructive Design
Summer semester 2024
4 blocks
Module no.: AD 510
Supervision: Prof. Ansgar Schulz, Prof. Benedikt Schulz, Felix Haunstein, Tornike Kublashvili, Victoria Monari, Paul Schmelzer
This semester we are looking at 4 properties in Berlin-Neukölln. All 4 plots are part of a larger Wilhelminian-style perimeter block development. One exception is "Block 2", otherwise all plots are built with single-storey commercial units. The district is predominantly built up with 5-6-storey Wilhelminian-style houses. At approx. 22 m, the houses form the Berlin eaves height. The first floor zone facing the main streets is mostly used for commercial purposes, with residential use on the floors above.
The task is to develop new concepts for the 4 plots. It is imperative that the existing structures are integrated so that the single-storey commercial units can be retained.

Winter semester 2023/24
SALTO MORTALE - 2 two-court sports halls
Module no.: AD 510
Supervision: Prof. Ansgar Schulz, Prof. Benedikt Schulz, Felix Haunstein, Gerd Heise, Sarah Najork, Vicoria Monari, Paul Schmelzer, Christian Wischalla
Pieschen was first mentioned in the annals in 1292 as Peschen (Peschen - Slavic: sandy area). Industrial development began around 1850 in the Leipzig suburb close to the city. At the end of the Second World War, individual buildings in the Leipziger Strasse area were destroyed, but the district as a whole retained its character. In 1991, the center of Pieschen was declared a redevelopment area. A new shopping and office center was created with the expansion of the Malzfabrik at Pieschener Haltepunkt. In Pieschener Winkel, the "Elbcenter" has been integrated into the existing urban landscape.
Based on the development of this district, a multi-purpose sports hall is to be planned on a given plot of land, as well as the urban and open space development of the site in the context of its surroundings. Students are asked to think about how a large indoor sports facility can be developed on this site and what structural possibilities exist for such a building on several floors.

Muskator
Revitalization of an industrial icon on the Elbe

Hermann Schmidt laid the foundation stone of the Muskator-Werke when he produced his first compound feed on a small scale in Radevormwald near Wuppertal in 1903. The "Muskator" company was founded in 1911 and was based in the port of Düsseldorf. It was managed centrally from here. Management, administration, purchasing, sales, product development and marketing were all based here. From 1930, other brands such as "Ovator" were taken over by "Westdeutsche Mühlenwerke GmbH". A second plant was built in Bamberg in 1962 and further plants in Mannheim in 1966 and Deggendorf in 1969. From 1987, two employees took over the management of the company as shareholders. In 1990, the Saxon "Muskator-Werke Tierernährung GmbH & Co. KG Riesa" was founded. The merger with the other plants did not take place until 1994. The turn of the millennium brought a change in the business situation, as the company had miscalculated the purchase of raw materials. From the anniversary year 2011, other company sites were sold in whole or in part - including the plant in Mannheim, which was operating at the highest capacity. Riesa, Bamberg and Deggendorf followed in 2012. March 7, 2013 marked the end of the company's history: "Muskator" filed for insolvency and ceased operations three weeks later.
The existing building structures are to undergo sustainable architectural development. New buildings, conversions and extensions are conceivable on the site. Your task is to develop various utilization concepts for this impressive complex in order to revitalize the area. There are no limits to your ideas. The results will be incorporated into an overall urban and spatial planning idea, a distribution of functions and a spatial program for the main use you have identified. Whether you decide on a concert hall, a museum, a cultural campus, a conference hotel, a new Elb-Valley, a competitive sports center, co-working spaces or individual forms of living for the main use or the main building is entirely up to you. You work out your design in depth for the main use in the main building you have chosen.
