A new fire station for Donnerskirchen in the World Heritage Zone

 Site identification and planning of a new fire department center in Donnerskirchen in the World Heritage Region Neusiedlersee-Fertö in Burgenland

This semester we dedicate ourselves to the new construction of a large fire department center in Donnerskirchen. The first challenge is to find a suitable location to meet the requirements of the World Heritage Site. In this respect, the village must first be analyzed in its historical development, and potential locations in the existing buildings or on the periphery of the settlement structure must be identified. The existing structural ensemble should be compatibly supplemented by the new building and give the place a positive impulse.

There will be a field trip to the site inspection. Planned is Thursday, March 16 at 10:30 in Donnerskirchen.

First meeting Thursday 9.3. at 10.30 a.m. in seminar room 251 Stiege 3 / 3rd floor

Further meetings thursdays at 10.30 AM

Midterm Presentaion May 11, at 10:30 at TU Wien

In this class students will apply standard methods of architecture documentation like measuring methods, photo documentation, literature research, formal analyses, typology. Methods refer to the built matter as well as to the theoretical level and imply a historical, contextual programmatic approach.

In case of a different Corona situation the class will be held online.
