There are ways to show how resilient building solutions are developed
Can be easily negotiated, easily adaptable, easily accessible, easy to maintain, lightweight
changeable and easily reproducible / multipliable. The task is to combine these aspects together with aesthetic and ecological demands as well as cost-efficient to a smart and convincing overall concept (integral design approach). Particular attention should be paid to digital production methods

Urban wood light (system) construction:
Prefabricated wooden light construction allows self-builders to participate already in the construction of the basic construction. Taking into account digital prefabrication, SS 2017 was working on the development of an urban lightweight construction system, which has meanwhile been further developed and is now to be tested for suitability for use as a DIY construction method in this 1: 1 design.

The building, which will be built in this way, should be easy to transport, as well as fast to assemble and disassemble (Rapid assembly, Plug & Play). This ensures a short cost-saving construction period and allows reconstruction and reuse elsewhere.
The focus here is on joining techniques, as well as solutions with regard to heat storage and sound insulation in multi-storey timber lightweight construction.
Use and acquisition openness, as well as creative leeway in own contribution are goals of the project.

Ecology and economy:
Permakulturelle approaches, integrated renewable energy and food production methods as well as energy-efficient building envelopes are explicitly encouraged
Life cycle analysis LCA is optional

Plot:
A central part of the design is a workshop in the two Easter holiday weeks in the TVFA hall, where the first module of the house is built in a 1: 1 workshop and then exhibited at the Maker Fair (May 2018).

The substantive question is:
New tasks for society are emerging: the creation and preservation of vitality
Neighborhoods in urban neighborhoods should go beyond flexible building structures as well
through practiced practices such as sharing and fair cooperation as well as through the application
new digital production methods can be achieved. Much of it can be excellently practiced in DIY construction workshops or in self-organized workshops, such as
especially in Transtition Towns, in eco-projects or in FabLabs. But how can such approaches be transferred into multi-storey urban practice and how can the link to future eco-social housing be established without restricting the scope for action of civil society and future generations?

The vision is:
We understand city as a vibrant natural space that enjoys a similar ecosphere of greatest plurality. Any interaction between humans and nature - as a result of the articulation of the needs of each individual - is perceived as a potential for further development of the city, whose structures are open to it. Co-design takes place not only in the context of assembly processes, but also partially in the realization and maintenance of buildings. Technology and architecture are visible, understandable and can be shaped for all participants in society and can be adapted to actual needs over and over again.

Research-guided teaching:
The design is done in parallel to an ongoing research project. Results from the research project - such as The recently completed TOOLKIT (book for the guidance of self-construction) - are introduced into the design and applied as an example.

The construction of the first module of the prototype, which will demonstrate the approaches described, is planned for the two Easter holiday weeks in the TVFA hall.
