Interior of INSIDE-OUT, the design concept for the new Schaffhausen Raiffeisen Bank branch by NAU Architecture and Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architekten

The new Raiffeisen Bank branch designed by NAU Architecture and Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architekten was completed this past May in the historical city center of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, after the design won first place in a competition back in May 2012. The design as a whole appeals to the senses, going beyond the basic functions of a bank to creating an open, welcoming place for customers through light, color, and efficient use of space.

A view into the stars is what Daniel Jauslin wanted: onto clouds and the sun. The architect with Swiss roots built a spectacular glass-skylounge into his Rotterdam urban family house. "I want to see the legendary 'Dutch skies'" http://www.eh-i.nl/2013/07/08/interieur-door-het-glazen-plafond/

The Working NAU Architecture & Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects has recently completed the renovation of Raiffeisen Bank Schaffhausen. Select the two architects drawings and seven photographs and describe the building.

The Minimum Impact House is famous all over the world. Even in the japanese TV everybodys talking about it!

In the current debate on architecture and building culture of sustainability are compared as irreconcilable opposites. Discussed the contrast is a limited understanding of the underlying concepts that are not yet the built environment as sustainable construction requirements.

Built in 1910 in Bonn, it was purchased in 2010 by Mr. and Mrs. Sibylle Feucht and Jürgen Starosta and reconstructed from scratch. Their goal was to create an environment for their own ideas, which combines in a suitable manner with residential and work here also integrates an exhibition space. At the same time it was necessary to equip the city with regard to house the most modern energy standards.

Particular emphasis was placed on the design of the façade and the integration into the surrounding public space. To the side of the road (north side) was designed for energy reasons, but also for privacy less generous and the south side (facing towards Venusberg), however, large-scale implementation.

Another focus of the renovation was to provide modern energy requirements sustainably justice to. For this, a number of measures were implemented, the overall lead to excellent energy values​​. These range from the use of geothermal energy in conjunction with a heat pump, a controlled ventilation system, the installation of a wall heater and installing triple glazed wooden windows through to the insulation of all exterior walls to passive house standard. A rainwater cistern provides a resource-saving toilet flushing, garden watering and washing machine use.

This paper aims to introduce the particular methodology of the author's and their colleagues at TU Delft Chair of Landscape Architecture. This approach is characterised by theories, methods and techniques converging towards design and research and research by design. The relation and interaction between these research domains is illustrated with examples from research and education establishing design research and research by design as a coherent methodology.

Research into a more sustainable TU Delft campus. This document contains a presentation for an ecologically sustainable campus centre for the TU Delft. The aim of the design was the creation of an attractive study environment, while at the same time strengthening the ecological quality of the surrounding area. The building takes into account the local water system en green infrastructure.

Social and ethical responsibility Building their own home is the dream of many people, especially families. Here a strategy i provided to create a new type of homes in the city and reinforcing the social, economic, and cultural fabric of the urban centres. In the fast-grown suburbs an unnatural homogenous population is created because on the very small group of people usually moves there within a short period of time. This segregation of a large proportion of the society weakens the social structure. In the city centre a social groups a mixed and interact. The individual experiences being part of a society every day. This understanding is the foundation for any social and democratic understanding. Ressource efficiency and environmental impact Residential houses are the main course for land-use. Building new suburbs leads to the destruction of natural environments, more streets, traffic, and pollution. One important aim was to demonstrate that in the smallest urban niche it is possible to built a fully-functioning house which meets the highest design standards and ecological criteria.

Enjoying the sun in the green spaces or taking a stroll along the Main – more and more people in Frankfurt spend their leisure time outside. And what does this mean? Frankfurt needs more public toilets. They are planned now.

A multidisciplinary jury, i.a. with representatives of the parks and gardens department and the Office for the Environment, has now made their decision. A special award goes to the design of Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects for their construction with willows.

As nice as it is to be outside, as desperate it can get. In the parks of Frankfurt there are less public toilets than needed. Often complained, the city council is working on the future concept „ Public toilets in the city of Frankfurt”. There you find the following plan: Instead of building expensive permanent toilets, which will be run down after a while, temporar y toilets are planned to be provided during the summer. The architectural office Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects handed in a construction out of willows as an “overcoat” and won a special award.

Design for Disassembly: A Statement of decomposible for building structures

The construction of buildings uses most of the resources we consume. Demolition and construction activities also generates  approximately 60% of all waste. The current development in the construction industry fear suggests that the amount of waste in the future increase even more, because on the one hand, the life expectancy of the building continuously decreases, the other more different materials are joined together and more thoroughly: Composite materials consist of a variety of starting materials, which are glued together with non-detachable connections to a huge pile of future hazardous waste. Due to this waste production the environment and society are challenged as well as by the production of new building materials, which leads to energy and raw material consumption.

Sustainable buildings must be constructed differently: The individual components must be assembled with detachable joints. Constructive layers must be designed so leave them to wait, individually and exchange, because the stress and life is different. In particular, technical building equipment must be replaced and upgraded, because on the one hand the technology improves rapidly, but also to changing conditions (availability of resources, climate change) needs to be adjusted.

Research Project: a prototype for sustainable construction

The existing infrastructure, the social and cultural offerings and the short distances make it attractive to live in the middle of the city. The dream of owning a home, however, can often seem to realize just on the outskirts. Inner-city building sites are scarce on the market and offer often difficult conditions. But even in an area of ​​29 square meters can be a full house plan that shows the office Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects in Frankfurt am Main with his mini house.

german only: Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architekten und Designstudio NAU haben eine Bankfiliale am Kreuzplatz in Zürich gestaltet. Bauherrschaft und Architekten waren darum bemüht, die Idee einer «offenen» Bank, wo jegliche Schranken zwischen Kunden und Berater aufgehoben ist, in Architektur umzusetzen, schreibt die «NZZ». «Entstanden ist dabei ein fliessendes, helles Foyer mit Mobiliar in futuristischer Formensprache und weisser, glänzender Oberfläche.» Ins Auge stechen die geschwungenen Wände mit ornamentalen Verzierungen. Die Gesichter bekannter Persönlichkeiten aus Hottingen sind darin eingelassen und erzählen so die Geschichte des Quartiers.

Contemporary architecture has been strongly influenced by the concept of landscape in recent times. A new mindset evolves that changes the core of the architectural discipline: the organization and composition of architectural space as a landscape. The scope of this thesis is to investigate and understand architecture that has been designed like a landscape. In projects of OMA, MVRDV, Peter Eisenman, Foreign Office or Diller+Scofidio the building inside and landscape outside do not merely interact, but the building is designed as an artificial landscape on its own. Landscape constitutes the inside. The landscape to architecture relation is turned inside-out. The author is studying these phenomena and their design methodologies.
As a first finalized and completely documented case study the analysis of the Rolex Learning Center in Lausanne by SANAA is surely an important part of our discovery of landscape methods for architectural design. Landscape is developing here as the aesthetic mediator between nature and human.

The Minimum Impact House in Frankfurt am Main is a sustainable solution for low cost living within city centers - a prototype typology with minimal footprint, built on a leftover urban space. The planning process itself became part of a scientific study.
The ecological advantages of building in the city where integrated in a real building project with new typology, ecological construction-technique and materialization. The goal was to minimize environmental impact through construction and operation of the building. In a comparative study we compared advantages and disadvantages of a single-family house in the centre versus new building zones. This included qualitative an quantitative comparison over a life cycle of 50 years with construction, running, maintenance, disassembly and location related mobility.

Everybody is talking about sustainable building, but what does this really mean?
First of all: It is more than just a bit of insulation.
It is a gentle way of handling resources regarding the whole life cycle of a building.
This is what the project was about, the young architectural office
Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects in Frankfurt and the TU Darmstadt worked.
The aim was to develop a prototype for sustainable building in cities.

Frankfurt's image is mainly formed by the high-rise buildings. But below them wether is changing.

Contemporary architecture has been strongly influenced by the concept of landscape in recent times. The landscape analogy that accompanied architecture for a long time in tectonics or ornament is now transforming the concepts of form and space. The landscape analogy has moved from marginal subjects to the core of the discipline. We are looking for principals of architectural theory, which can not be derived anymore from an big predominant ideology. What framework for architecture do we still need in the more or less lucky freedom of our time? We might want to use the proposed exercise of knowledge transfer to rediscover some basic principles. A study of landscape as a means of architecture could lead to such a basic theory, not derived from any ideology nor adopting philosophical terms to a practical field. We prefer looking in our own backyard, enjoying the freedom of thoughts about our own subject matter.
