Shared Work Space at JASEC

During the first week of the workshop you may use the shared workspace in our office.

Each group will receive one set of keys to access our office any time.

The equipment includes: 4 Windows PCs & 2 Printers (with scanner)

Installed Software: MS Office, AutoCad, 3DS Max, Adobe Products, ArchiCAD,

Sketchup and others.

JASEC Office and Work Space

Access: Building “Gusshausstrasse 30, 1040 Vienna”;

Access via the large drive-in, first door on the right on the ground floor in the

driveway.

Assignment

The task is the design of a small to medium size multifunctional building that houses

workplaces for students and offers possibilities for catering at TU Wien’s Campus

Getreidemarkt. Groundwork for the design will be a 3D surveying and mapping of the

site and its surroundings.

Campus Getreidemarkt

Getreidemarkt is one of 4 campuses in the city centre. All buildings at this site have

been undergoing a comprehensive renovation process since 2006.

Site

The new “student hub” should be located in the courtyard between building parts BC

and BD and may have dimensions of 40mx8m and can be up to 2 storeys high.

The design of the new building has to consider the surroundings which are the newly

built or renovated university buildings but also the heritage protected “Semperdepot”

– built in the years 1874-1877.

The name “Getreidemarkt” means grain market – it used to be the main market and

reloading point for grain in the 18th century.

The “Mariahilfer Strasse” closeby dates back to antique roman times and used to be

one of the most important entrance ways into Vienna. Nowadays this street is one of

Vienna’s most popular shopping streets.

Projected Space

The projected space for the new Student Hub is a long but relatively narrow courtyard.

The new structure has to consider neighbouring buildings as well as driveways (eg. for

fire or delivery trucks).

The building should include a café/small pub (probably on the ground floor) and

student work places in the upper floor(s).

The red cubical element in the image above only shows the location of the new Student

Hub. It is up to each group to find an interesting design which may be cubical, organic

or whatever shape turns out to be useful.

Pedestrian connections or bridges can also be possible to structure the space and

create links to adjacent buildings.

There are no specific requirements regarding size and position of different functions.

However, each function requires additional considerations (accessibility, delivery,

sanitary facilities, work place safety…).

The surrounding building blocks and the courtyard have certain proportions and

architectural styles which may also influence your proposed design.

Buildings surrounding the site

Semperdepot

Built in the year 1874 by architects Gottfried Semper and Carl von Hasenauer its original

function was an archive and production site for theatre scenery and decorations. It is

historically important due to the cast iron structure (one of the first iron structures in

Vienna). Today the building houses artist’s workshops and exhibition/event spaces.

Plus-energy-office high-rise building (Building Part BA)

As part of its fundamental considerations with regard to updating its buildings on

Getreidemarkt, TU Wien came up with new and innovative ways of going about the

general renovation of the tower. In keeping with the basic concept of the TU UniverCity

project, it is not simply a case of introducing structural measures, but rather much more

about developing a flagship project – a sustainable approach that has been developed

and influenced by TU experts.

The fundamental objective of the project was to achieve the energy-plus standard in

terms of having a primary, on-site energy source. This also included covering the

energy consumption of all of the technical building facilities, office equipment, servers,

kitchens, lighting and standby modes through the use of the photovoltaic system

integrated into the façade. The aim is to achieve a high level of reproducibility for all

types of office building in the future, including energy-plus buildings.

Lehartrakt (Building Part BC)

With around 12,000 m2 of net floor space and low-energy construction techniques,

around 100 scientists and 700 or so students in the Faculty of Technical Chemistry

can enjoy state-of-the-art laboratories and office space.

60% of the building is now home to

laboratories at the cutting edge of technology.

The majority of rooms facing our project sites

are chemistry labs which do not include

permanent working places. Therefore an

obstruction of view caused by our project can

be easily tolerated.

Labortrakt (Building Part BF)

As a (preliminary) final milestone for the Getreidemarkt campus, a new laboratory

building was created for the Faculty of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. The

general renovation work on the 'old Tonne building' had already been completed

years before.

The new Labortrakt (BF) is home to state-of-the-art mechanical engineering

laboratories in line with TU’s key research area of 'materials and matter'. The new

building boasts two basements complete with light channels, making them ideal for

use as laboratories, and four upper floors connected via the existing Hoftrakt (BD). An

additional technology floor, which will contain the countless service systems for the

laboratory equipment, sits right at the top.

Current Situation Projected Building

Excursion to Stuttgart

With a focus on 3D modelling vizualisation the course will be co-supervised by Uwe

Wössner and Fabian Dembski from HLRS (High Performance Computing Center

Stuttgart). An outstanding facility for creating virtual environments is the “CAVE”

CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual Environment)

The CAVE is a cube with a side length of 2.7m.

The floor is made of a three layer laminated

safety glass, covered by a rear projection screen

while the walls and ceiling are built of dark

acrylic glass screens. The images are rear

projected at a resolution of 1600x1600 pixels

per side by five active stereo DLP projectors

with separate inputs for both left and right

pictures. The large-size and immersive

projection encourages users to discuss their

data sets with on-site colleagues. Furthermore,

it is possible to discuss results with worldwide

partners in collaborative working environments

while looking at the same data. For the tracking

of the viewer's head and hand we use an optical

tracking system.

The CAVE is driven by a powerful visualization cluster with large bandwidth for

interactive simulations as well as high speed parallel rendering.

On the software side, the CAVE is driven by our COVISE virtual reality front-end called

“OpenCOVER”. This software allows interaction with on-going numerical simulations

and post-processing steps mainly in the area of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

and structural mechanics (e.g. crash analysis) but as well as in urban analytical models

and air flow analysis for e.g. architectural purposes and urban design.

Journey to Stuttgart and accommodation

All participants have to organize the trip and accommodation by themselves. We will

start with the Stuttgart program on Monday (18.3.) morning, so plan your arrival time

accordingly. We can’t give you any specific suggestions how to travel or where to stay.

Please browse through offers on AirBnb / Tripadvisor Vacation Rentals / FeWo-Direkt

or others. Also check the different modes of transportation plane/train/bus/car.

Transportation

Try to organize your trip with other participants of the group. Maybe some of you have

a private car and offer seats for others so you can share the costs for fuel. Other options

are Flixbus, ÖBB (train) or you may also find a good deal for a plane ticket.

Equipment

Please bring your own laptop computer with 3D-CAD software installed. Please install

3DS Max which is free for students in advance:

https://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/3ds-max

If you are more familiar with other 3D CAD software it may also work.

In the JASEC lab in Vienna we have 4 shared workplaces with AutoCad and 3DS Max

installed. But in Stuttgart you will have to use your own equipment.
