The Association of Private Builders (VPB) has declared a student competition in the end of 2015. Task of the competition was to develop a Pioneering living concept in the planning aspects of sustainability also the responsible use of resources also should be considered.
During my appreniceship as a technical assistent for building constructions my main concern was on wooden buildings and wooden constructions. While i was studying i had many chances to improve my interest on these materials. To work with environmentally sustainable constructions in combination with other natural materials was my personal ambition. It is very important for me to develop and plan „healthy“ buildings. Working in the field of teaching ‚designing and engineering‘ (Prof. Dr. Ulrich Knack, Prof. Bernadette Heiermann, Prof. Norbert Hanenberg) as a student assistant helped me to deepen my knowledge and pass it to other students. It was obvious for me to write my bachelor thesis in this field of architecture. During my research for possible subjects i stumbled upon the competition „einfach zukunftsgerecht Wohnen“ by the association of private owners and took part in it. On the choosen property i decided to work with crystaline structures (16,50 m to complete the following buildings an 25.50 m for the solitaire) and a hybrid construction (cover, walls and ceiling out of massive wooden precast elements and a armoured concrete as an access) to debug the limits of a visual wooden constructions in housing. Inside I generated a variable floor plan which is neutrally usable for appartments used from 2 to 5 persons. During my master studies i would like to specialize on this field of architecture.
