The task of the Studio Gebäudelehre in the summer semester 2020 is the design of a museum that is explicitly dedicated to the pioneers of of Viennese modernist architecture.
The starting point is the assumption that the archive material of important positions of this generation will be brought together in a collectionand made accessible. The new house should create opportunities for scholarly scientific debate and provide space for the for the mediation of the same.
At these the archive, study rooms, a library, exhibition rooms, a lecture room and guest guest flats for two researchers. will be located.

Urban Context

As a form of manifesto, a simple but nevertheless exciting basic structure has emerged over many developments, which on the one hand encompasses the space but on the other hand also includes the outside space. The limitation of the space is intended to create a feeling of protection and localisation. The grid contains orderly inserted blocks that provide space for different functions.

The arrangement is mainly given by the existing trees, which are essential for the emerging inner courtyard. It is intended to form the heart of the project, which is created by the reflection of the emerging form through the trees. At the same time, this courtyard will also be extended into the basement via an opening.

Public Space

With this configuration of grid and individual bricks, we tried to challenge the boundary between inside and outside. There is thus a visual boundary with the grid, which is intended to be reminiscent of a forest through the choice of wood as a material. The individual blocks themselves, however, do not distance themselves from this event, because they are supposed to appear inviting through their full glazing, as if they were already part of the overall space.

Spatial Program

The result is a kind of perforated block edge, which encloses a space but is still completely open. This resulting courtyard can therefore be accessed from several places and serves as an access space to the individual blocks, most of which serve as exhibition space. As already mentioned, this access space is also continued into the basement and extends the general space. Quieter and more secluded functions, such as reading or archiving documents, will also take place here.

In addition, we wanted to design the inner courtyard as close to nature as possible. A tree will even be planted in the basement to make a green space felt there as well. This is how the name of this project came about. We looked for the border between the interior and exterior space and used natural elements to make it visible.
