The Exhibition “HIRZBERG+”
Last week, the final reviews of Design Studio “HIRZBERG+ – Micro-Multifunctional Room for a Kindergarten in Freiburg” took place. Congratulations to all students!
The Haus für Kinder am Hirzberg in Freiburg is to be expanded to include a micro-multifunctional room due to a lack of space on its own property. This was the focus of the semester project and will be realised in cooperation with the Freiburg-based architecture office hotz + architekten. The room is to serve as a lounge and work space for employees, as well as a space for curative education activities and parent-teacher meetings. The design centred around a detailed examination of the environmental impacts, structural-economic, structural-technical and building-physical issues, as well as the use of resource-efficient, single-origin building materials such as renewable and secondary building materials, with sustainable, cycle-friendly construction methods and their design-technical effects on function and aesthetics, with planning up to a scale of 1:1.
Over the course of the winter semester, 8 groups of Bachelor’s and Master’s students approached these complex questions in a variety of ways. Since everyone has worked tirelessly on the project, we are very happy to give you an insight into the results. You can take a look at the diverse solutions since February 21 until March 6 in the exhibition at the KIT Faculty of Architecture in building 20.40 on the second floor.
