Immersives Studio - Lagerhalle Zürich, 2024
Architectural Design V-IX SS
Immersion:
We are used to designing architecture from a supposedly objective perspective. With immersive technologies, we overcome this distance, expand our perception and immerse ourselves directly in the space to be designed. In doing so, we will develop an altered understanding of space in which we digitally design architecture and its construction while simultaneously moving within it.
We will critically reflect the potentials of these technologies beyond a pure efficiency thinking and develop an independent and emancipated attitude towards them.

Program:
Circular construction (the reuse of components from dismantled buildings) is becoming more and more of an issue these days. However, it is often not possible to coordinate dismantling precisely with the timelines of new buildings, which want to give the dismantled components a new life cycle. In future, this would require storage areas in which components and materials could be temporarily stored for reuse. This semester, we will design a warehouse for this purpose and deal with the programmatic requirements for the logistics of delivery and storage as well as the reprocessing and distribution of Reuse components.

Additional integrated discipline: Building Technology and Construction
