Architecture with Landscape Methods: Case Study of the Rolex Learning Centre Lausanne by SANAA Tokyo

Jauslin, D.


release date: Nov 23 2010

publisher: Architectural Institute of Japan

text by DGJ

english, 4 pages

Contemporary architecture has been strongly influenced by the concept of landscape in recent times. A new mindset evolves that changes the core of the architectural discipline: the organization and composition of architectural space as a landscape. The scope of this thesis is to investigate and understand architecture that has been designed like a landscape. In projects of OMA, MVRDV, Peter Eisenman, Foreign Office or Diller+Scofidio the building inside and landscape outside do not merely interact, but the building is designed as an artificial landscape on its own. Landscape constitutes the inside. The landscape to architecture relation is turned inside-out. The author is studying these phenomena and their design methodologies.
As a first finalized and completely documented case study the analysis of the Rolex Learning Center in Lausanne by SANAA is surely an important part of our discovery of landscape methods for architectural design. Landscape is developing here as the aesthetic mediator between nature and human.

The Minimum Impact House: Applications of the Frankfurt Prototype for sustainable building in Cities of the European Rhine Region

Drexler, H. Jauslin, D. Curiel, F.

The Minimum Impact House in Frankfurt am Main is a sustainable solution for low cost living within city centers - a prototype typology with minimal footprint, built on a leftover urban space. The planning process itself became part of a scientific study.
The ecological advantages of building in the city where integrated in a real building project with new typology, ecological construction-technique and materialization. The goal was to minimize environmental impact through construction and operation of the building. In a comparative study we compared advantages and disadvantages of a single-family house in the centre versus new building zones. This included qualitative an quantitative comparison over a life cycle of 50 years with construction, running, maintenance, disassembly and location related mobility.

project: dgj071 Minihouse I - Minimum Impact House

german, 2 pages

Everybody is talking about sustainable building, but what does this really mean?
First of all: It is more than just a bit of insulation.
It is a gentle way of handling resources regarding the whole life cycle of a building.
This is what the project was about, the young architectural office
Drexler Guinand Jauslin Architects in Frankfurt and the TU Darmstadt worked.
The aim was to develop a prototype for sustainable building in cities.

8 pages

The "Minimum Impact House" is a prototype for sustainable and energy efficient housing in the city. The building is the product of a research project of the architectural firm Drexler Guinand Jauslin and the Department of Design and Energy Efficiency of the Department of Architecture of the TU Darmstadt by Manfred Hegger. "The gentle use of resources is a key aspect of sustainability. This is true in the use of urban remnant areas as well as in the choice of material and energy efficiency for he building." says owner and architect Hans Drexler. The benefits of existing urban infrastructure through a densification not only reduces urban sprawl of the surrounding area, it also reduces the volume of traffic and stabilizes the economic and social structure of the city.
