After successful completion of the course, students are able to analyze an existing residential complex from the sixties and derive from it whether a new building can at least match the quality of the existing building.
The tree population that has grown up in the meantime has to be preserved as much as possible. The urban density of the stock should be preserved or should not be undercut. An adequate solution for stationary traffic should be sought.
The Vienna Building Regulations must be observed.
The residential complex in Vienna 20th, Jägerstraße 89-95, is a child of its time.
The urban planning boundary conditions go back to the so-called "Rainer Plan" from 1961, which mainly provided parallel or at right angles to each other row buildings, which are mostly east-west or north-south oriented and little on the course of the surrounding Streets came in. Spacious spaces were created between the buildings, which are used either as open spaces without specific use or as parking spaces for cars.
The large residential complex, built between 1964 and 1966, is located on an approximately triangular plot between Jägerstraße and Adalbert-Stifter-Straße in the 20th district of Vienna and consists of five row buildings with two- and three-room apartments developed as spans. An eight-storey building is parallel and three further, also eight-storey “panes” are perpendicular to Jägerstraße. Two other six-story buildings are located near Adalbert-Stifter-Straße.
