similar to cloud 8b we wanted to minsulate our [single-glazed] office, for working purposes on this occasion, and again: who wants to destroy/replace them beauties of windows, who wants to insulate the entire envelope of a building?

like many of our relatives in the mammal-division, shriveling-up in the cold season is the strategy we used here too: an off-the-rack flat-pack greenhouse becomes abused as a warming cell.
by letting it swallow the seriously dimensioned radiator you can easily achieve a 10 to 24°C in under 100 seconds!

studentenstadt münchen
die größte studentische wohnanlage deutschlands wurde von den Architekten ernst maria lang und sepp pogadl nach einem gewonnen wettbewerb realisiert. mit der städtebaulichen typologie trug man der nähe zum englischen garten und der lage an der isarhangkante mit der idee des durchfließenden landschaftsraumes rechnung. im landschaftsraum der isar gelegen war eine befreiung von den bestimmungen der landschaftsschutzverordnung nötig. die anlage sollte nach dem vorbild der cité universitaire in paris auch die idee einer internationalen stadt wiederspiegeln.

BRICK – the exhibition

On 24 May 2007, the exhibition ‘Brick’ will open at the Groot Handelsgebouw in Rotterdam during the manifestation Rotterdam 2007, City of Architecture. The exhibition will highlight the results of the Brick project that was carried out over a three-year period at the European Ceramic Workcentre. The architecture project Brick was aimed at product innovation. The .ekwc wanted to stimulate the technical and artistic development of the manufacture and application of brick as a construction material. Architects, designers and artists from both the Netherlands and abroad have been working on the development of a new type of brick since 2005. The .ekwc expects to be able to use this to provide a new stimulus to the application of brick and subsequently the ‘brick appearance’ of the Netherlands. The underlying goal is that the centre wishes to demonstrate that input from various disciplines (architecture, art and design) can provide an additional impetus to the desired development.

071 ±brick: bau- & fassadesystem

»I was never really interested in brick«, says Jan Schabert (1967): »A dull material that swallows up quite a lot of energy in production. But still, the extruded bricks with large air tubes do contain acceptable isolation qualities.« It brought him to the idea to develop a brick that does not only contain excellent isolation qualities, but can also adopt other architectural and climatological functions.
It marks the approach by the German architect who collaborates with his colleague Martina Günther under the name »Architectur und so weiter« (Architecture and so on). The name especially illustrates their broad approach, which is not limited to the design of buildings and interiors, but is also aimed at doing research and developing concepts. Both architects completed a course in architecture at the Technical University of Munich and have a broad interest in ecological designs.
