Massivbau: Schütten

Task

By working on a design task, in conjunction with a coordinated series of lectures, essential elements of constructive design are taught. The aim of the design exercise is to learn the laws of solid structures in the construction principle of pouring. In contrast to EnKo I, the possibilities for constructive expression do not lie in the layering of solid material, but in the pouring of amorphous material into a formwork. It is essential here to understand the interaction between the formwork and the cast construction as well as the transition from liquid to solid material. We are designing a workshop building in a gap in the Martinsviertel of Darmstadt. Fitting the new building into the urban context is an important part of this task. The aim is to create a robust building with a high quality of the interior space.

The organisation takes place via the digital learning platform Moodle
