From September 11th to September 12th 2019, the the second SCHULBAU Salon & Fair in Berlin will take place in the Loewe Saal. The reason for this is the city’s enormous investment volume of more than 5.5 billion euros, which has been flowing into all areas of school construction since 2018. At least 49 new schools are planned, and schools are being renovated or expanded at many locations. PPAG is currently part of this investment with the project Allee der Kosmonauten.
We are very much looking forward to attending one of the podium discussions at SCHULBAU Berlin 2019 – PPAG is represented by Christian Wegerer.
11:30 am – Gute Schule schnell gebaut?!
Moderation: Anneke von Holst
On the podium:
Christine Edmaier, dr. Hermann Budde, Stefanie Remlinger, Martin Gessert, Christian Wegerer

The interview series ‘nextroom asks’ has published a publication and PPAG is represented with an interview by Anna Popelka. Many thanks to the author Martina Pfeifer Steiner for the interesting conversation and thank you to the photographer Lukas Hämmerle!
‘Five questions form the clear structure of this compendium, the diverse answers provide insight into today’s conditions for architecture and the everyday struggle for the best solutions, whether from the point of view of young or established, large or small offices. Beauty, quality of life, urban planning or village development – the architects know, that’s clear, their responsibility for the Baukultur. ‘ (Extract blurb)
Publisher: nextroom / Publishing House: Müry Salzmann Verlag - Book presentations are planned for autumn, in Salzburg, Vienna, Klagenfurt, Graz, Innsbruck and Dornbirn.

Futurium is a House of Futures. Here, everything revolves around the question: how do we want to live? The Futurium will be opening on Thursday 5 September. One of the main exhibitions is about our citys future and our future way of living. Our project Wiesenschlag – Elastic Quarter is represented there as a forward-looking living concept whose floor plans can be changed according to need and living conditions.
The Elastic Apartment was developed for Degewo real estate management as a housing project with 200 units for a specific site in Berlin. Not only the apartment itself is elastic regarding to occupancy and use, but also the resulting urban design. A live sized model of the Elastic Apartment was center of our exhibition Do You Really want to Live like Your Mother? at Architekturgalerie Aedes in Berlin in 2017. This exhibition is a plea for progress in architecture, housing and urban design. Our way of living has nothing to do with our genes, it is rather acquired behaviour that has been passed on over generations, and any further development is prevented by the durability of the houses in which we live.
We are very looking forward to be part of Futurium’s opening exhibition. The opening ceremony is starting on September 5th at 7pm.

The project Volksschule Längenfeldgasse deals with the topic of climate and school at various levels: from energy generation through bored piles, a radical form of ventilation in the classrooms, the special use of phase change materials in furnishing, right through to thespatial-atmospheric interpretation of the term.
At the Staatspreis Design Austria 2019 competition we made it through to the second round with our PCM shelf. The Jury deliberated at the designforum, and unfortunately the second round was the last stop for us. However, we are looking forward to the announcement of the winners: which will be at the awards ceremony on September 25th at the Museums Quartier Vienna. Ahead of the announcement PPAG extends congratulations and all the best for the winners!
We now take the opportunity to draw attention to our PCM shelf:
The basic problem of overheated interior in densely used spaces, such as schools, universities and offices is due to high numbers of computers. To solve that urgent issue PPAG has developed a shelf made of aluminum panels, which helps with heat compensation, as well as general summer night ventilation. Its individual panels are filled entirely with PCM (Phase Change Material).
HEAT CAPACITY
The filling materials (mostly paraffin) possess extremely high heat absorption capacity when in an aggregate phase change. By selecting the right material, you can determine at which temperature the material transforms from a solid into a liquid state – while absorbing ambient heat. If temperatures rise above 24°C for example, the wax within the panel liquefies. Each panel possesses a heat capacity of 80 watt hours. The shelf is able to absorb heat and release it again during the night to the outside – at a temperature of, say, 20°C – via summer night ventilation.
STORAGE SPACE
Having sufficient storage space in the right places is a prerequisite for a successful everyday life at school. Today children study independently for most of the time. They fetch their learning aids from the shelf themselves. What is needed are shelf spaces that children can easily reach on their own. Creating lots of storage space involves using the exterior facing walls as well. This however obviously contradicts with the demand for daylight.
PLAYFUL, CLIMATIC, FUNCTIONAL
Especially in schools, the properties of the shelf present useful advantages. The energy related performance of an educational facility differs principally from that of other uses. When many children are present, they act as small-scale natural stoves. This effect is so enormous that when outside temperatures drop to minus 5°C degrees, children produce more heat in an unheated classroom than is lost via the external building elements (through transmission). 80 watts correspond to the heat capacity of one child. The shelf with its 100 panels, shown in the exhibition, can therefore buffer one hundred “children’s heat hours” in total. Temperature and air conditions are vital for the quality of learning and environmental comfort at school. In this regard, the shelf delivers playful solutions to climate and utilization-related problems.
The decisive reason for designing the PCM shelf was the construction of the Berufsschule Längenfeldgasse. Due to the large number of computers in the classroom, the basic problem of overheating is enormous. As a solution we developed the PCM shelf, which is able to absorb heat and release it again to the outside overnight via summer night ventilation. Click here for more information.
The shelf was first in use at our exhibition “Of the New School” at the Architektur Galerie Berlin last year. Click here for more infromation.
PPAG has received a Special Mention in the 7th Annual Architizer A+Awards for the project “Do You really Want to Live like Your Mother?” in the category Concepts-Plus-Architecture+Living Small. We are truly honored to be included!
The exhibition Do you really want to live like your mother took place from December 2017 to January 2018 at Aedes Architecture Forum in Berlin. It is a plea for progress in architecture, housing and urban design. Our way of living has nothing to do with our genes, it is rather acquired behavior that has been passed on over generations, and any further development is prevented by the durability of the buildings in which we live.

“With the design of the office, PPAG architects, can a new method of school planning arise. The diverse uses of a school are innovatively combined in a compact building while at the same time allowing the students to identify with their respective discipline. The school building forms into the existing landscape as well as configuring the surroundings. I am sure that this design will set the benchmark for further school planning.” (Katrin Lompscher, Senator for Urban Development and Residential Planning)

“Talk Show” am Mittwoch, 05.12.2018 um 19.00 im Architekturzentrum Wien.
“Warum bauen Architekten nicht wieder wie in der Gründerzeit?” hört man immer wieder. Oft gefolgt von: “Und warum wohnen sie in den Gründerzeitwohnungen und nicht in den von ihnen geplanten?” Aber was meinen wir, wenn wir von Gründerzeit reden? Geht es um die Flexibilität der Grundrisse, die äußere Gestalt als Stadtbaustein, oder um ein Mindestmaß an Fassadenornament? Oder zeigt sich hier die wienerische Sehnsucht nach Gewohntem und die Scheu vor dem Neuen? Muss die gesamte Gründerzeit als Kulturgut unter einen Glassturz gestellt werden oder soll nur das wirklich Gute erhalten werden? Oft wird vergessen, dass viele Gründerzeitbauten in Serie hergestellte Spekulationsobjekte waren. Der heutige Boulevard-Jargon hätte sie im 19. Jahrhundert vermutlich als “Steinmonster” verteufelt, die das beschauliche Biedermeier-Wien zerstörten. Oft überlegt, ohne Bad in der Wohnung, waren sie jahrzehntelang keineswegs eine so begehrte Wohnanlage wie heute. Also: Wieviel Gründerzeitsubstanz braucht die Seele Wiens, wieviel Neues verträgt sie?”

Open UP! is our proposition of a new viennese „Zinshaus“, a hybrid, functionally unspecialized building that offers different uses on all floors, which are adaptable to changing future needs. Diverse and flexible outdoor, living, working and retail spaces not only allow a quality living environment but also open up the building towards the surroundings, allowing it to be in use all day and thereby turning it into an urban catalyst.
Open UP! will be presented to the public at an exhibition opening on Thursday, 06.04.2017 at 6 p.m.. The exhibition showcases all successful projects planned for Sonnenwendviertel Ost in the hall of GB*10 in Vienna till 28th of April 2017.

Every 20 years the UN organises a Habitat-World conference, which aims to deal with housing and urban development issues: Vancouver 1976, Istanbul 1996, Quito/ Ecuador 2016.
At the Habitat III conference, in late October this year, the ,,New Urban Agenda” (link) was passed. Important objectives regarding urban development for existing and also for new cities were defined:
sustainability, safety, alternative mobility, living space quality, distribution fairness, social sustainability, innovative economic development…
However, between all of these correct and important goals, the main intent has been overlooked: Urban development is a cultural achievement!
Die gegenwärtige Pädagogik setzt auf eine individuelle Betreuung für jedes Kind. Nicht der instruktive Unterricht steht im Vordergrund, sondern neue Lernformen wie Freies Lernen und Projektunterricht. Forciert wird die individuelle Förderung der Interessen und Begabungen.
Die Ganztagesschule vereint innerhalb eines pädagogischen Gesamtkonzepts die unterschiedlichsten Angebote an Bildung, Erziehung, Betreuung, Freizeit und Förderung.
Die Infrastruktur des Schulhauses spielt nicht nur für die adäquate räumliche Organisation dieser Angebote eine wesentliche Rolle, die Architektur übernimmt selbst die Funktion des „3rd teacher“.
Mit dem Projekt Bildungscampus Sonnwendviertel von PPAG konnte 2014 in Wien jener Bildungsbau umgesetzt werden der den aktuellen Anforderungen einer modernen Pädagogik am besten entspricht. Der Bildungscampus ist eine Ganztages- und Ganzjahreseinrichtung mit verschränktem Unterricht. Die Freizeitbereiche wurden hier erstmals nicht getrennt errichtet, sondern das Konzept einer „Wohnschule“ entwickelt und umgesetzt. 1100 Kinder von 0-14 Jahren werden den Bildungscampus in Vollnutzung besuchen.
Adresse: Gudrunstraße 110, 1100 Wien
Die Übersetzung der aktuellen Pädagogik in Raum wird von PPAG permanent weiterentwickelt.
Aktuell realisieren PPAG gemeinsam mit helen&hard den next step des state-of-the-art Bildungsraumes für die Sauland Skole Norway.

Competition for an integrated primary school with an innovative spatial and pedagogical concept.
The new school building in Schwefel aims to offer the students the best possible learning and living environment. The individual modules on the upper floor are conceived as little villages for about 85 children. They are arranged in a circle around the central courtyard. In addition to classrooms and group spaces, each village has a team station and a kitchen situated in relation to the courtyard.
THE ELASTIC APARTMENT
The renowned jury chaired by Prof. Dr. Andreas Lepik chose our concept of the elastic apartment as a contribution with potential for the city.
INVITATION TO ROUND TABLE TALK ON JULY 15 AT 19:00
LADENLOKAL NAZARETHKIRCHSTR. 39, 13347 BERLIN-WEDDING
In the context of the award PPAG (Anna Popelka and Georg Poduschka) will present their concept of the elastic apartment, which completely rethinks the apartment itself. Not a utopian project but a realizable idea, the elastic apartment is an abstract spatial structure whose compact layout can accommodate many or few people. A living environment for rich and poor that changes through its use, not through renovation. Professor alongside street cleaner, refugee next to banker.
The elastic apartment forms not only a contribution to constructing a welcoming culture but to affordable living in general.

We are happy to announce the completion and opening of the exhibition “THE URBAN FUTURE thinking_forward_” in Technisches Museum Wien.
Opening on June 8th, 2016 at 19:00, Technisches Museum Wien
In the contemporary city, millions of people, each with different needs, coincide within a narrow space. That is exactly why cities form the strongest drive for research and development. The constant interaction between growth, common visions and urban development, continually asks for innovation, in order to shape the urban future.
On approximately 1.000 m², “The Urban Future ” now invites you to immerse in these themes from an Austrian and international perspective.

The village of Sauland – norwegian for sheep land – is located about 2 hours east of Oslo. The small commune invests in education. The run down wing, in which until now the school was housed will be replaced with a new wooden building which will be state of the art in educational science.
The joint venture of PPAG and helen&hard came off as a winner of the application procedure for the project.

Can design change society? – Society can change design!
Ascending spirit of the Bauhaus and urban life come together to create an accessible and moving landscape.
From the jury report: “…Exciting indoor and outdoor space structure develops movement spaces with high potential. It enables an act of continuation and reinterpretation of the Bauhaus philosophy…”
The task was an enormous extension of the building, which was designed by Walter Gropius in 1970s. The extension covered Exhibition Spaces, Collection, Administration, Foyer with Café and Shop at the same property.
An underground foundation of new building forms all exhibition spaces, permanent exhibition, temporary exhibition, special exhibition, and cabinet exhibition, which need to be completely protected from the daylight due to restoration reasons. In front of the exhibition spaces there are ambiguous areas that allow multiple uses. The outdoor area seems to look noticeably bigger. The museum faces daily life. Berliners come and meet the moving landscape created by ascending spirit of the Bauhaus and by overground life. Seats, beds, paths, courtyards and squares emerge. The desire to set the scene for the first exhibit – the existing building – is realized by near and far references.
The project has been developed strongly from the perspective of the Berliners, the visitors, the museum employees and others involved.
It is about architecture directly molded from life, or rather architecture that forms it itself.
The winning works will be presented at the special exhibition “moving forward” from 2.12.2015 to 29.2.2016.
The Campus+ is a current type of an educational institution uniting over 1,000 children and adolescents from 0-14 years under one roof. It is an integrating institution operating full-day and year-round.
The project translates the educational Program from KIGA and VS, and also the educational objectives of the NMS consistently in space. Beginning with Bildungscampus Sonnwendviertel, the further developed Cluster / BIBER cope with amounts of students by dividing them into well-arranged groups and providing them with stimulating learning and living space. It is all about usable space. Pure traffic area no longer exists. The area of the learning landscape is decentralized and flexibly assigned.
The special classrooms of all educational institutes shape the centre of the Campus. Thematic workshops form the core where all the children, youth and adults meet.
We are happy about the recognition which is based on an objective analysis of the international trade press.

Am 8. August fand in Deutsch-Wagram im Rahmen eines Ferienspiels für Kinder der Baumeistertag statt – organisiert durch AC WOHNEN. Wir waren eingeladen mit der Station “Ein Haus bauen” dabei zu sein. Auf einem Katasterplan aus einzelnen kleinen Grundstücken entstand eine von den Kindern entworfene und gebaute Stadt. Unterschiedliche geometrische Formen aus gefaltetem Papier wurden zu architektonischen Objekten kombiniert und mittels Modellbäumen und Personen in Relation gesetzt. Nachbarschaften wurden verhandelt, Grundstücke geteilt und neben den unterschiedlichsten Gebäuden auch Freiräume entworfen. Die Kinder erprobten sich als Architekten, Städtebauer, Entwickler und Bauherren in einem.
Constructing a stand-alone school campus is often neither possible nor practical in the city.
The mini campus, which is intended to function as an additional standard component of the
social infrastructure of the city (residential, office, retail) encompasses many uses,
invigorates urban surroundings, does not require its own plot of land, and provides a
multifaceted and synergetic array of potential uses. 14 completely different student projects
illustrate how the mini-campus has its own typology. It is a new kind of building that offers
synergetic and social potential which, with appropriate formulation, will in the future bring
about a new way of thinking.

Urban Living – new forms of inner-city dwelling
PPAG is currently developing, upon invitation of the city of Berlin and by the means of a real site in Neukölln,
a manifest for a dense social city inside the city, a building for a broad section through society which is to function
as a tool for an active and shared living in the city. The apartments are very diverse and neutral spaces can be
individually allocated according to the tenants particular living conditions (birthday party, fostering of family members,
flat for a teenager).The accessible mountainous structure also features a great number of different communal spaces
that are also commercially usable, a covered sportsground at its center, spaces for small theme shows und markets,
a coffeehouse, wintergardens for gardening and a mountain pasture on its very peak.
The design is discussed online until April 5, 2014. We hereby invite you to join on
urbanliving.berlin.de
Ideas and proposals of the case study and the internet dialog will be discussed with the housing industry and
will be further developed from summer 2014.
PPAG is nominated as finalist for the Architizer A+ Award for 3 projects:
