Die Flüchtlingskrise ist allgegenwärtig. Die Flüchtenden, deren Asylgesuch stattgegeben wird, reihen sich ein in die große Zahl der Menschen, die bereits heute nach einer bezahlbaren Unterkunft sucht. Wir brauchen deshalb kurzfristig eine große Zahl preisgünstiger Wohn- ungen, die den Wohnungsmarkt entlasten.

The Zeeheldentuin in The Hague has been given the European Urban Green Infrastructure Conference (EUGIC) 2015 Award. The garden’s design was praised by the jury for creating a green spot in an otherwise urbanised area using biodiversity, recycled and reused materials and flooding prevention.

The Zeeheldentuin is an oasis of green in the middle of a grey urban area. In this community garden you can find vegetable gardens, a fruit orchard, an ornamental flower garden with seating areas, and a nature playground for the children.

In Den Haag zijn alle parken groen, maar één park wordt groener dan alle andere. In het Westbroekpark, thuisbasis van de Parade en Foodtruckfestival Trek, wordt namelijk een verwaarloosde midgetgolfbaan getransformeerd tot een 3.400 m2 grote ecoproof stadstuin. En daar kun je straks letterlijk je tanden inzetten…

Vlakbij het Vredespaleis runnen Roelof Toering en zijn vrouw Ditte Koelewijn de succesvolle dagzaak Café Blossom. Na vijf jaar stroomt het ondernemersbloed nog volop door de aderen. De twee zijn in de race voor de invulling van het midgetgolfterrein in het Haagse Westbroekpark. Het idee: horeca in een kas.

Café Blossom, Groene Helden en DGJ Architects & Landscapes wonnen de door de gemeente uitgeschreven tender voor het overwoekerde midgetgolfterrein in het Westbroekpark. Hun plan: een eetbare tuin plus een restaurant in een kas. “Onze producten vind je terug op de menukaart”.

Über einen Mangel an Dynamik im Bereich der Gebäudezertifizierung lässt sich derzeit nicht klagen. Ganz im Gegenteil : Immer neue Systeme und Standards bereichern den Markt. Aber auch bei den etablierten Systemen wie DGNB oder Passivhaus ist vieles in Bewegung. Der folgende Beitrag verschafft einen Überblick
über die Marktentwicklung und erläutert wichtige Neuerungen bei einzelnen Zertifizierungssystemen.

Op de plek van de gesloten midgetgolfbaan in het Haagse Westbroekpark moet een klein restaurant komen met op de kaart alleen maar producten uit de eigen eetbare tuin.
Dit plan hebben de Groene Helden en Cafe Blossom uit het Zeeheldenkwartier ingediend. Deze groep van archi teeten en ondernemers heeft gisteren de plannen onder de werknaam 'Blossom in the Park' gepresenteerd.

During the Architecture Festival "Make City" the AIT-ArchitekturSalon is represented with different formats on new and innovative housing concepts . Pop -Up is presented in the AIT-ArchitekturSalon exhibition "Affordable Living / Affordable Housing ", in-depth discussions are with the Symposium "living differently " and the Studio - Talk "Living inclusive".

Flowscapes explores infrastructure as a type of landscape and landscape as a type of infrastructure. The hybridization of the two concepts seeks to redefine infrastructure beyond its strictly utilitarian definition, while allowing spatial design to gain operative force in territorial transformation processes. The publication provides perspectives on the subject from design-related disciplines such as architecture, urban design, urban planning, landscape architecture and civil engineering. The book builds upon the multidisciplinary colloquium on landscape infrastructures, that is part of the Flowscapes graduation design studio of Landscape Architecture at the TU Delft.

The authors explore concepts, methods and techniques for design-related research on landscape infrastructures. Their main objective is to engage environmental and societal issues by means of integrative and design oriented approaches. Through focusing on interdisciplinary design-related research of landscape infrastructures they provide important clues for the development of spatial armatures that can guide urban and rural development and have cultural and civic significance. The geographical context of the papers covers Europe, Africa, Asia and Northern America. All contributions in the book are double blind reviewed by experts in the field.

One of landscapes architecture's particularities is that it has a varying relationship to scales compared to its fellow disciplines such as urbanism and architecture. To get a grasp on it, we asked teachers from the Chair of Landscape Architecture at TU Delft how they conceive of this relation and where they position themselves.

Our existence is based on time.

Die Filmautorin Juliane Hipp ist unterwegs zwischen Rheingau und
Reinhardswald, stellt Menschen und ihre „Traumhäuser“ vor, darunter
auch originelle Beispiele in Frankfurt, wo der enorme Wohnungs- und
Bauflächenmangel zu raffinierten Lösungen führt, wie etwa zum
Minihaus des Architekten Hans Drexler, gebaut auf 29 Quadratmeter
Grundfläche. Auch das Eigenheim von Anke und Alexander Terveer in
Solms-Oberndorf verblüfft: Ein umgebautes Bahnhofsklo ist zu ihrem
ganz persönlichen „Traumhaus“ geworden.
Bernhard Sander aus Hofgeismar hat sich einen Traum erfüllt: ein
riesiges Baumhaus - zweistöckig mit mehreren Terrassen und jeder
Menge Komfort. Ein Aufzug führt bequem auf 14 Meter Höhe. „So ein
Gefühl wie hier oben kriegt man auf der Erde nicht“, sagt der 65-
Jährige. Auch Karl-Josef Schmidt hat sich seinen Traum vom Wohnen
verwirklicht: „Im Alter möchte man nicht vereinsamen“, meint er, der mit
Ende fünfzig beschloss, ein Mehrgenerationenhaus zu gründen. Jetzt
lebt er in Geisenheim in einem ehemaligen Weinbaubetrieb mit
eigenem Weinberg und Gutsauschank, zusammen mit 15 Menschen
von Jung bis Alt. Weitere Bewohner werden folgen.

Wer an ökologisches Bauen denkt, verbindet das sicher nicht mit einem Leben in der Stadt. Eine Reihe von Projekten zeigt jedoch, wie sich Stadtleben und Ökologie zu innovativen Konzepten verbinden lassen. Wir stellen sie vor.

Die Architekten betrachten die Aufgabe grundsätzlich. Für sie ist die Sanierung im Gebäudebestand kein technisches oder bauphysikalisches Problem, sondern ein Beitrag zu nachhaltigen Entwicklung der Gesellschaft. Dieses Haus aus dem Jahr 1948 demonstriert, wie vorhandene Bausubstanz genutzt werden kann und wie aus der räumlichen Enge eine Mehrfamilienhauses mit Gewerberäumen ein in energetischer Hinsicht attraktives Stadthaus entsteht. Bewusst werden schützenswerte teile der Konstruktion - zum Beispiel die Holztreppe - erhalten und bei der Konzeption berücksichtigt

Die Städtische Bibliothek Heidenheim schafft mit der Eingliederung des Kreismedienzentrums, eine zukunftsgerichtete Neugestaltung des Konzepts Bibliothek. Das Projekt verkörpert den Zeitgeist des Informationswesens in dem vielfältige Informationsmedien nicht mehr nur einen Platz an dem Wissen aufbewahrt wird, sondern dient den Bürgern aller Altersgruppen in erster Linie als Ort der Begegnung und des Austauschs. Durch die kompakte und effiziente Form, und die Positionierung des Gebäudes am nördlichen Ende des Grundstücks, fügt sich der Entwurf in das Straßenbild der dichter besiedelten Brenzstraße ein. Der dadurch entstehende, attraktive, südwärts gerichtete Teil des Areals erlaubt es einen neuen Park entstehen zu lassen, der eine Grüne Achse bildet, die vom Bahnhofsplatz über die Georges-Levillain-Anlage bis zur Pauluskirche reicht. Die Bibliothek orientiert sich um eine dramatische und großzügige Treppe die sich sowohl räumlich als auch im übertragenden Sinne im Herzen des Gebäudes befindet. Sie spielt ein vielschichtige Rolle, als Erschliessung, Sitzgelegenheiten, Tragwerkselement und als kommunikatives Bindeglied zwischen den heterogenen Nutzungsweisen der Bibliothek. Für eine ausreichende und diffuse Belichtung des Innenraums, sorgt eine gewobene, perforierte aluminium Außenfassade. Durch die geschwungene, bandartige Form wird ein skulpturaler Charakter vermittelt und es entstehen kleine Terrassen, die sich über die Bibliotheksgeschosse verteilen. Als Inspiration diente dabei die Geschichte der Textilindustrie Heidenheims.

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.

Die ARGE NAU Architecture & Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architekten hat kürzlich den Umbau der Raiffeisenbank Schaffhausen fertiggestellt. Die Architekten wählen zwei Zeichnungen und sieben Fotos und beschreiben das Gebäude.

Durch das Freilegen des alten Treppenhauses wurde ein enger Nachkriegsbau zum luftigen Loft. Beim SCHÖNER WOHNEN-Modernisierungs-Wettbewerb 2012 gab's dafür
den Sonderpreis, gestiftet von der Bausparkasse BHW.

Auf Mini-Fläche Das "Minimum Impact House" ist das Ergebnis eines Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekts zum nachhaltigen Wohnungsbau in der Stadt und zeigt, wie kreativ innerstädtische Baulücken nachverdichtet werden können.

»Affordable Housing Prototype in Shenzhen« – so die Aufgabenstellung des internationalen Studentenwettbewerbs, für den 16 angehende Architekten mit Hochschullehrern und Tutoren für 14 Tage nach China reisten. Eine erste Studierendengruppe untersuchte bereits 2012 das Thema »A Sustainable Urban Prototype for China«.

Das Minihaus ist weltweit bekannt. Sogar im japanischen TV redet man darüber!

In den Ballungszentren herrscht Wohnungsnotstand. Während Deutschlands Bevölkerung weiter schrumpft, nimmt der Grad der Verstädterung immer weiter zu. Durch das organische Wachsen dieser Zentren über die Jahrhunderte hinweg sind eigentlich überall kleine Baulücken vorhanden. Die Frage ist nur: Kann man dort auch Wohnraum schaffen.

In der aktuellen Architekturdebatte werden Baukultur und Nachhaltigkeit als unvereinbare Antipoden gegenübergestellt. Der diskutierten Gegensätzlichkeit liegt ein eingeschränktes Verständnis der beiden Begriffe zu Grunde, die weder der Baukultur noch dem nachhaltigen Bauen gerecht werden.

Völlig verbaut - das war einmal. Nach der Sanierung zeigt sich das Haus von Sibylle Feucht und Jürgen Starosta in Bonn von einer ganz neuen Seite.

Er lebt und arbeitet in einem Minihaus. Und er hat es auch entworfen.
Hans Drexler ist Vertretungsprofessor am Fachbereich Architektur der Fachhochschule
Münster, der münster school of architecture. Sein Schwerpunkt: nachhaltiges Bauen und integratives Entwerfen. Das hat er im Minihaus in Frankfurt umgesetzt – einem Haus, das auch dort noch komfortablen Wohnraum bietet, wo andere Konzepte aus Platzmangel kapitulieren. Seinen Studierenden will Drexler die Zusammenhänge und Abhängigkeiten des nachhaltigen Bauens vor Augen führen – in der Lehre, in Symposien und in einer Ringvorlesung.

Das Mehrfamilienhaus in Bonn wurde in energetischer, funktionaler und gestalterischer Sicht konsequent umgestaltet. Bewusst wurden jedoch schützenswerte Teile der Baukonstruktion wie zum Beispiel die alte Holztreppe erhalten und in die Konzeption integriert. Zum Projektumfang gehörten Umbau und Erweiterung des Haupthauses, die Neugestaltung von Hof und Außenlagen sowie der Umbau der vorhandenen Werkstatt zu einem Künstleratelier.

Nachhaltiges Planen und Bauen ist zu einer der zentralen Fragen in der Architektur geworden. Klimawandel, Ressourcenverknappung und wirtschaftliche Krisen zwingen zunehmend auch Architekten und Planer, traditionelle Methoden und Lösungen kritisch zu hinterfragen. Längst haben in den letzten Jahren Forschungseinrichtungen und Hochschulen, aber auch Architektur- und Ingenieurbüros begonnen, nach neuen Konzepten zur Umsetzung nachhaltiger Architektur und Stadtentwicklung zu suchen.Im Sommer 2011 veranstaltete die Münster School of Architecture mehrere Symposien, um mit internationalen Experten über diese Themen kontrovers zu diskutieren. Die Publikation Building the Future fasst die unterschiedlichen Ebenen und Positionen aktueller Konzepte zusammen: Ziel ist es, Zusammenhänge und Haltungen nachhaltigen Bauens in einer ganzheitlichen Weise darzustellen. Dabei repräsentieren namhafte Autoren mit ihren Beiträgen den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu diesem Thema und zeigen innovative Ansätze und Lösungen für die Architektur der Zukunft.

With the Minimum Impact House (MIH) new strategies for the development of urban residual areas were developed. The choice of locations Has a positive effect on the environmental performance of the building. In terms of sustainability offers a densification within the city territory require a lot of advantages: The urban sprawl is prevented. This creates congestion and strengthens the social fabric in the cities. Moreover, the reduction of land consumption is an active contribution to the protection of resources.

In modern residential consumption is minimized during operation largely. Therefore, with a lifetime of 50 years, the construction of the building for a large proportion of C02 emissions. MIH when the design was the use of renewable raw materials - optimized - especially wood. By a supporting structure made of timber panel construction and a fire protection system, the MIH was one of the first modern five-storey wooden building erected werden.Um to reduce energy consumption during use, the building was built as a passive house. As an important part of a ventilation system was installed as a compact unit (heat pump) with a degree of recovery heat recovery of 85%. The balance of energy is needed by a solar thermal system and a heat pump covered with 100% certified green.

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 introduces landscape aesthetics as an innovative design method for sustainable architecture. It is based on the framework of a recent paper where the young and unfamous authors criticized three of the most prominent architects today in regard to sustainable architecture and its aesthetics. Leading architects expressed their skepticism as to whether there is such a thing as aesthetics in sustainable architecture, or for that matter, if architecture can indeed be sustainable at all. Against such a setting, DGJ will illustrate what we believe to be the landscape perspective's inherent relationship to the natural environment, the principles behind it as well as the potentia Is that these landscape perspective holds for sustainable design. After first discussing the kind of professional and political impetuses that have made sustainability one of the most compelling changes to face the profession of architecture, we argue that the mandate for a sustainable environment did not come about by choice of the architects and planners, but rather, that sustainability is imposed on the profession by the necessary, external forces that influence it. To bridge the existing gaps between current practice and sustainability, we will trace some thoughts and principles of landscapes and territories. Our approach views the landscape as a human interface with nature, as a basis for the design of sustainable architecture and a new context for sustainable aesthetics. It will be illustrated with practical work samples from a small but globally operating practice DGJ Architects & Landscapes. They will demonstrate how sustainable design happens in practice, throughout its evolutionary process, with some of our recent projects

What is Delta Alliance?

Delta Alliance is an international knowledge-driven network organization with the mission of improving the resilience of the world’s deltas. With increasing pressure from population growth, industrialization and a changing climate, it is more important than ever that these valuable and vulnerable locations increase their resilience to changing conditions. Delta Alliance brings people together who live and work in deltas. They can benefit from each other’s experience and expertise and as such contribute to an increased resilience of their delta region.

Delta Alliance Young Professionals Award

In scope of the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012, Delta Alliance organized a Young Professionals Award, inviting young delta professionals around the world to present their solutions to the challenges which river deltas are facing.
The Dutch ministry of Infrastructure and Environment hosted and supported this award, which was coordinated by Delta Alliance in cooperation with Both Ends, Alterra, University of Twente, Grontmij, Arcadis, Deltares and WWF.
An impressive number of 53 teams of young professionals from 29 countries answered the call and handed in their propositions of how to solve acute delta challenges such as land subsidence, saltwater intrusion or coastal erosion, and many more.
On the 21st of June 2012, the winners of the Delta Alliance Young Professionals Award were presented at the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. The award-winning proposals were:

• "Thriving Deltas" by Richard Fisher and Ryan Whipple
• "Re-generating Delta" by Frederico Curiel
• "Balance Island" by Sander van Rooi, Emil Kuijs and Bert van Bueren

No, No and No. Three times No is the answer to the question: is there currently such a thing as aesthetics in sustainable architecture? This answer is drawn from the discussions of three architects who are acclaimed practitioners and thinkers in the field. If we assume that aesthetics is something that all architects pursue in one form or another, it would appear that, currently, sustainability is not an integral part of it.

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.

This book deals with the aesthetic potentials of sustainable archit ecture and its practice. In contrast to the mechanistic model, the book attempts to open a new area of scholarship and debate on sustainability in the design and production of architecture. In many instances, the key principles behind environmental concerns and sustainability in architecture are often misunderstood and misrepresented. Many often consider sustainability within a limited set of choices or still regard it as yet another inconvenience that hinders development. Certainly technical improvements help alleviate the problems at hand. But fundamental questions remain in regard to architecture: What are the structural issues behind the consciousness on sustainability and how do we address them in design? And what kind of opportunities can we find in its aesthetics for the revision of our industrial model? The book traces and underscores how the consideration of environment and sustainability is directly connected to aesthetic propositions in architecture. http://www.010.nl/catalogue

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.

Minimum Impact House - Developing a sustainable prototype

The project Minimum Impact House is a prototype for sustainable housing development in the city. Sustainability and ecology requires a holistic optimization of the building. At the mini house manufacturing of the building, operation and location factors such as urbanity and mobility were considered together. It turned out to be an inner-city densification has a number of environmental advantages. Prevent urban sprawl, traffic, reduces the intensified use of existing infrastructure and strengthen the social fabric of the city. For developing inner-city African developing new building types and building structures for the creation of sustainable housing in the city is required.

„The fact, that many people drive to town for work or leisure activity, increases the output of carbon dioxide.[..] Nearly half of the annual land consumption is generated by the building industry. With his architectural office (Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects) he realized in Frankfurt a few years ago a idea: the Minihouse.

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.

Affordable housing in the city while maintaining quality of life - a problem that employs the Frankfurt architect Hans Drexler for some years. His concern was not only a question of economic efficiency, but also about the environmental and social benefits of densification of urban areas. An idea that should be in the interests of urban planners. After all boasted Frankfurt as Germany's capital and passive house is striving towards the European title of a Green City. The award given by the city's architecture award "Green Building Award" to encourage private developers to sustainable designs. Hans Drexler received the award in 2009 for his mini-house. On a wedge-shaped area of 29 square meters, he set up at the Walter-Kolb-Strasse in Sachsenhausen, a multi-storey wooden building in passive house standard with a floor space of 145 square meters.

For the second time the „Architekturpreis für nachhaltiges Bauen“ (architectural prize for sustainable building) will be awarded in November 2011. Within the last competition architects, planner and  building owner of eight buildings were awarded with the Green Building Award. One of the awarded buildings was the Minimum Impact House.

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.

The amount of frame houses measured to the total market of one- and two-family houses has been increasing constantly. About 13.000 residential buildings were built in timber-panel -construction and prefabricated timber-construction in Germany in 2009, with tendency to rise. Because of the commercial and technological advantage of the modern timber-construction, there can be expected, that the positive trend will continue during the following years.

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.

Die Anlage rund um den Gerundensee in der Sonnenstadt wird neu gestaltet. Den Architekturwettbewerb bjlt die Arbeitsgemeinschaft NAU Architecture in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Büro

Drexler Guinand Jauslin aus Zürich gewonnen.

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.

The "Minimum Impact House" is a prototype for sustainable and energy efficient housing in the city. The building is the product of a research project of the architectural firm Drexler Guinand Jauslin and the Department of Design and Energy Efficiency of the Department of Architecture of the TU Darmstadt by Manfred Hegger. "The gentle use of resources is a key aspect of sustainability. This is true in the use of urban remnant areas as well as in the choice of material and energy efficiency for he building." says owner and architect Hans Drexler. The benefits of existing urban infrastructure through a densification not only reduces urban sprawl of the surrounding area, it also reduces the volume of traffic and stabilizes the economic and social structure of the city.

The young architects office Drexler Guinand Jauslin designed a small town house on a site of only 29sqm.

There are a lot of Passivhouses, but most of them outside the city-center. The Frankfurt Minihouse shows that this can also be achieved on the smallest inner city sites.

Dealing with the issue of sustainability always implies the hope of improving the present conditions and of actively contributing to sustainable developement. An awareness of the complex relations involved the search for new possible solutions, and education, and training concerning the mutual interdependence of the various systems.

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.

Jesse Reisser and Naneko Umemoto of RUR Architects are investigating the relationsship of uses, material, and the structure of space.

The Materiality of buildings and constructions is an important aspect of architectural design. The approach to and use of materials is a fundamental building block of architectural training. The themes featured include: subjective effect of materials; haptic influences; use of materials; and creative use of classical construction materials.

Vast achievements in the field of sustainable building habe been made: A variety of targets, aspects and criteria habe been identified that constitute important building blocks of a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in the field of architecture. Assessments and evaluation systems have been developed that help to analyse designs and buildings. Still missing are strategies that could be used to integrate the targets in the design process. In a two year empirical research project concepts, strategies and methods for designing sustainable residential buildings habbe been gathered and analysed. Sustainable design is notmerely a technical problem, rather it can be most successful if it accomplishes to bridge the gap between the cultural role of architecture and its technical side. For this reason, the study focused on the design potential that could be derived from the following questions: . What are approaches and strategies to meet the diverse and sometimes divergent requirements of sustainability in architecture? . Waht methods and tools can be applied in the early stages of the design and planning process for new and existing buildings to be planned holistically in order to optimize the design in terms of sustainable construction? . What is the role the context(in the broadest possible sense of climatic, Structural, cultural and social context) plays in respect to the design? . What are the advantages and disadvantages arising from their implementation?
