TURN ON architecture festival

The motto of this year's TURN ON Festival organized by the Austrian Architecture Foundation is 'Perspectives'.
Day 1 will focus on innovative and successful cooperation between architects and companies. Day 2 will feature 15 lectures on design strategies by architecture firms from German-speaking countries and a panel discussion on the topic of 'land consumption'.
Volker Staab and the Zeman Group present the design and construction of the tower at the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin.

Navigating N-Dimensional Design Spaces

Excited to have presented our paper "SearchField - Navigating N-Dimensional Design Spaces" at the AAG 2023 conference in Stuttgart. It came out of a collaboration between Staab Architekten and the Department of Structural Design and Engineering at the University of the Arts Berlin. Our research focuses on design space exploration, empowering designers with an intuitive approach and integrating key performance factors into the architectural design process.

Teaching/Doing Architecture

The Faculty of Architecture is dedicating its lecture series this year to the relationship between the practical work and the teaching activities of the invited speakers. Volker Staab will talk about the two core elements of his design work - the autonomous architectural idea and its contextualization - and describe how these are further explored in his teaching activities.

The potential of the site

With the touring exhibition "Sorge um den Bestand" (»caring for what already exists«), the BDA would like to initiate discussion in various cities about effective strategies for the preservation of our building stock. In Bonn, the Stadthaus is the focus of the supporting program. It is one of several post-war buildings in the city that are threatened with demolition. In his guest lecture, Volker Staab will broaden the view and present the situation-specific approach of his office in dealing with existing buildings.

Building on landmarked sites: The idea of the place

The University of Salzburg, together with the Austrian Federal Monuments Office and the Salzburg Architecture Initiative, is hosting a three-day conference on the handling of listed sites. Contributions from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland will be presented and report on architectural practice, the experiences of the monument offices, and the scientific perspective.

Volker Staab will talk on the idea of place, in which he questions the commitment to a seemingly correct strategy in dealing with monuments and uses built examples to show how different the approach can be when it is developed from the building task and the site. The question of whether the original substance or rather the idea of the site is the key to an appropriate strategy also plays a decisive role here.

Klaus Bollinger, a member of the section Baukunst, presents current projects of his office Bollinger+Grohmann under the premises of aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. In the following conversation, he discusses with Volker Staab the responsibility and the possibilities of planning offices' influence on building culture. Our office has developed an innovative tower structure for the extension of the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin along with Bollinger+Gromann, which is currently under construction.

4th Aachen Conference on the Identity of Architecture: Construction

Far spanning, space-creating, referential and figurative - these four aspects of construction were central to our work on the Museum of the Bavarian Kings project in Hohenschwangau. The project is an example of our understanding that only the combination of contextual influences, programmatic and spatial requirements with a coherent construction concept, enables architectural quality. We like to replace the term constructive with the term structural. The focus of our approach is not the technical dimension of supporting and joining but rather the interplay of material, spatial characteristics, and the resulting logic of joining. It results in an inner grammar of the building structure, which underlies each of our buildings in different formulations.

Building for the Bauhaus – The new building

What can contemporary architecture in the context of the Bauhaus look like that does not run the risk of appearing like 'Bauhaus architecture'? To avoid falling into clichés, the design for the extension of the Bauhaus Archive draws on the programmatic specificity of the Bauhaus rather than stylistic elements associated with it. At the same time, the design addresses the question of how to deal with Walter Gropius' existing building, which was in danger of being relegated to the second row given the required building volume. The topography of the site and the winding access to the old building ultimately offered the key to how the idiosyncrasy of the house could be preserved and yet something emblematically new added to the building.

Architecture in Context

Work lecture series of the LWL and the BDA Münster-Münsterland

The basic idea of the lecture series 'Architecture in Context' is the reflection and mediation of the manifold aspects of context-related building, focussing on the urbanistic solution approach and the historical reference to the found situation. In addition, a social-cultural localization of the chosen structural solution takes place.
