Lecture Nov. 28, 2019 – “Bau & Betrieb von Bildungseinrichtungen”
Georg Poduschka and Anna Popelka at the imh ConferenceWhat does the educational building of tomorrow have to offer? Which room offers should a modern school building offer? The first imh conference "Construction & Operation of Educational Institutions" deals exactly with these questions. Education in Austria faces great challenges. Especially in the metropolitan areas (Vienna, Graz & Linz), the number of students is increasing continuously - that is why new school buildings including school extensions and renovations are currently among the biggest challenges in public administration. Innovative school building concepts and good practice examples underline the tightly packed conference program and provide insight into current educational buildings. (excerpt notice of imh)

School at Längenfeldgasse – Façade in Progress
All walls are finished. The drywall of the extension building for the Primary School and Vocational School of the City of Vienna at Längenfeldgasse has been completed. The façade is being worked on - the light blue wind and waterproof film is already almost completely installed. The construction workers also started to install the perforated sheeting which is supposed to be the very front of the façade.The school building at Längenfeldgasse opens up with a roof covered forecourt to the public of the streets. Together with the existing vocational school campus, the primary school and the ceremonial hall the extension building will strengthen the neighbourhood center. Designed as a differentiated structure, it starts as a compact plate in the first two storeys. In the upper storeys it then dissolves to a highly structured bar. Due to the height of the existing buildings, the new building incorporates the system. The result is a complete ensemble.

Competition Success – 1st Prize: German School Stiehle Cuenca Ecuador
As a result of winning an invited competition in Ecuador this summer, PPAG recently started the project planning of a German School in Cuenca.In the middel of the southern Ecuadorian Andes right away from the city Cuenca - UNESCO World Cultural Capital - PPAG are building the German School Stiehle.
A Children's World - Parents don´t come inside, queridos!
What does a school in the 21st century look like at the transition to the knowledge society? In a rural area in Ecuador. At 2600m altitude. On a slope with 56m gradient. Climate-friendly ... We take the topography and work with it: The space is left as good as possible in its sensation, the slope of the property is understood as an opportunity for the formulation of an exciting sequence of rooms, terraces and views. Each room has the best view of the valley, to Cuenca, while enjoying direct access to the open space. The school of the 21st century is open and unique at the same time. We do not know today how we will learn tomorrow, everything imaginable should be possible. We want to build regionally reasonable, but with international standards. High tech and low tech, new and old at the same time. The entire system is unhierarchical, a democratic space that represents equal opportunities for every child. The relational space refers to the life in the spaces, to the use, to the effects that result from overlapping usage: the shortcuts are also used by everybody - as well children as educators. What arises is real life communication! The identity of the school, the strength of the appearance, comes from the charisma of this commonality.

The ‘Elastic Apartment’ as one of the ‘futures’ at Futurium Berlin
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.

Staatspreis Design Austria 2019 – Second Round for PCM Shelf by PPAG
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.

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.

Club Architektur #4: Gründerzeit – Seele Wiens oder alter Krempel?
"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?"

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!

State-of-the-art Architektur für die ganztägige Schulform
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. Weitere Informationen unter ppag@ppag.at

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.

Recognition prize for competition bauhaus-archiv / museum für gestaltung / berlin
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.

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.

PPAG visiting professor at the Technical University of Vienna: MINI CAMPUS
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.

CASE STUDY: URBAN LIVING BERLIN
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.
