PRESS RELEASE

Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts consists of the schools of Engineering and Architecture, Business, Social Work, Art and Design, and Music. The teaching design of the Solar Decathlon will be integrated into the curriculum of Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture. How-ever, knowledge from other teaching sectors, research from the competence centers, and consulting from the other schools will provide a broad basis for the project work.

General OrientationWe are integrating our research and education program, “ Building as a

System”, into our Solar Decathlon activities. “ Building as a System” represents the relationships and interactions that exist between the interior and exterior of a building, between the building and people, and between the building and its natural and built environments. These are the key themes that enthuse us and that shape our thinking and our actions.

Our ThinkingBuilding as—and in—a system : We are integrating fully the vision of Lucerne

School of Engineering and Architecture into the Solar Decathlon project. Both the tuition we offer and our research are based on a strong interdisciplinary ap-proach. The high degree of cross - fertilization between our tuition and research activities is as much as a driver as the close physical proximity of all the elements that constitute our campus school in Lucerne. Thanks to strong partners from ed-ucation (universities) and applied research and practice (manufacturing, industry, services), we benefit from an extensive and active network. These aspects—unique to Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts—are our core strength and provide a reliable basis for our Solar Decathlon project planning.

Our VisionThe Solar Decathlon project explores spatial, structural and social dimensions

and seeks appropriate, efficient and innovative building technologies as an integral part of the building or neighborhood in an overall system. The vision blends spatial and technical innovations and the intelligent utilization of natural (energy, material ) and cultural ( building culture, architecture, engineering ) resources with social responsibility. The process involves developing and intelligently networking the various scales of the components, the object ( pavilion) and the building, all the way up to the concept of the district. The Solar Decathlon pavilion is conceived as part of a dense, urban context.

Our EnthusiasmOur passion for the Solar Decathlon project is tangible throughout Lucerne

School of Engineering and Architecture. The preliminary analyses, concepts and projects undertaken by the students are visible signs of this—they are proof of their commitment. The engagement and enthusiastic support provided by the school ’s senior management serves both as an incentive and a challenge for the project team. The emerging Solar Decathlon spirit—promoted by a solid core of departments and CCs and networking with the entire Lucerne campus—is lead-ing to the development of a dynamic, integrated end - to - end project : one that is future - oriented, innovative and sustainable—and that contributes to a sense of identity.

Our ActionsThe interdisciplinary Solar Decathlon project proposed by Lucerne School

of Engineering and Architecture puts the work of the students—with its distinc-tive research and experiential elements—center stage. The academic and didactic impact is but one aspect. The beacon - like effect exerted by the Solar Decathlon project on the region of Lucerne and on Switzerland as a whole will be immense and will open new vistas as it drives the pace of sustainable building. Sustainability includes ecological, economical and social aspects. We search for a culture with a high contextual approach, within a balance of change and conservation: a culture of architecture and engineering.

Analysis / Approach / Thesis: Context and Concept

After an intensive period of inspiration and research during the block week, SW 1 will be spent in individual teams discussing and formulating the insight gained. Supplementary analyses, projects and processes from the work in FS12 and HS 12 will be used and further targeted research on the subject will be carried out and documented. The approach has a strong research character and is also concep-tual, working simultaneously on different levels of scale: from large to small, and from small to large.

Interest will lie in statements on the large-scale urban level, on handling the context, on infrastructure and on the use of solar energy. At the same time, a tech-nological / small-scale level will also be taken into account. In concrete terms, this should be an element that has the design and technical potential to develop a large building unit. The aim is the sensible combination of a vision of an urban context in Lucerne with a sustainable spatial and technological concept. Different versions will be studied in five interdisciplinary teams.

The five teams continue working on the concepts in the different contexts and develop adapted, innovative building and living typologies and technologies. They are supplemented by in-depth disciplinary tasks. The presentations provide the basis for the interim critique with respect to MEP P6 and the subsequent workshop discussion with partners.

After the conclusion of P6 (11.April 2013), the jury selects one or two of the five concepts for further development and that’s exactly the point where we cur-rently are in our curriculum.
