With the „Forum am Seebogen“ as our entry for the “Nutzungsoffene Stadthaus”  competition in Aspern-Seestadt we created a contemporary prototype with a special focus on the potential of modular system design. 
How can the quality of living as well as the possibilities of wooden construction be developed further within a short time period?

We developed a heterogeneous project, where living, working and imparting of culture form a fruitful symbiotic relationship.

Various Usage 
Possibilities

The permeable podium zone is designed as a forum open to different usage that fulfils in a very central location general functions of the building site and possesses to a great extent a public character. As a central regulator to revive the district, the ground floor is procedurally programmed.

On the upper floors, various combinations of prefabricated basic modules of different housing typologies are created. Output modules, extensions, spaces which can be connected if required and terraces offer a variety of possibilities.

Flexible Construction

Small entities can be used as mini-labs,  micro-working units or shared infrastructure, they are integrated in the structure in the same way as a big area for activity-based-working on the top floor.
