Winter semester 2023/24
SALTO MORTALE - 2 doubt sports halls
Module nr.: AD 510
Mentoring: Prof. Ansgar Schulz, Prof. Benedikt Schulz, Felix Haunstein, Gerd Heise, Sarah Najork, Victoria Monari, Paul Schmelzer, Christian Wischalla
Pieschen is 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 centre of Pieschen was declared a redevelopment area. A new shopping and office centre was created with the expansion of the Malzfabrik at the 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 planning development of the site in the context of its surroundings. Students are asked to consider how a large indoor sports facility can be developed on this site and what structural possibilities exist for such a building on several floors.

Revitalisation of an Industrial Icon on the River Elbe

The foundation stone of Muskator-Werke was laid by Hermann Schmidt when he produced his first mixed feed on a small scale near Wuppertal in Radevormwald in 1903. The "Muskator" company was founded in 1911 and had its headquarters in Düsseldorf harbour. Management was centralised from here. The management, administration, purchasing, sales, product development and marketing had their headquarters here. From 1930 onwards, other brands such as "Ovator" were taken over by "Westdeutsche Mühlenwerke GmbH". In 1962, a second factory was built in Bamberg and further factories in 1966 in Mannheim and 1969 in Deggendorf. From 1987, two employees took over the management of the company as partners. 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; the company had miscalculated the purchase of raw materials. From the anniversary year 2011 onwards, other company locations were sold in whole or in part - including the best-utilised plant in Mannheim. Riesa, Bamberg and Deggendorf followed in 2012. 7 March 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 be further developed in a sustainable architectural manner. New buildings as well as conversions and extensions are conceivable on the site. Your task is to develop various utilisation concepts for this impressive overall complex in order to revitalise 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 programme for the main use you have worked out. Whether you decide on a concert hall, a museum, a cultural campus, a conference hotel, a new Elb-Valley, a competitive sports centre, co-working spaces or individual forms of housing for the main use or the main building is entirely up to you. For the main use in your chosen main building, you work out your design in more depth.

CULT FACTORY
Module nr.: AD 510
Mentoring: Prof. Ansgar Schulz, Prof. Benedikt Schulz, Felix Haunstein, Gerd Heise, Tornike Kublashvili, Sarah Najork, Paul Schmelzer, Christian Wischalla
The industrial monument Sachsenwerk in Dresden's industrial area caught fire this summer, causing a large part of the building to collapse. The building is now owned by the Nestler Group and houses an industrial recycling hall as well as cultural premises of the techno club Sektor Evolution. The part of the recycling hall with the column-free roof construction was completely destroyed by the fire. The adjacent technoclub and its rehearsal rooms were completely saved and preserved by the energetic efforts of the firefighters.
The task for this winter semester will be to make the building structurally sound again and to activate it both industrially and culturally.
The existing use as a recycling hall should continue to be guaranteed. Various use and conversion scenarios are conceivable in the existing Sachsenwerk building. The owner would like a light, economical and sustainable roof construction for the industrial hall and would make part of the area available as a cultural facility.
The architectural goal is to find constructive answers for dealing with the façade and the roof structure in interaction with the existing building and to organise spaces for cultural workers in the building.

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.
