trespassing grounds – Macondo

253.I47 Entwerfen // 10.0 ECTS // SS 2022

Macondo – The settlement on the outskirts of Vienna, which is not officially called that name, is a place where refugees in Austria were settled for decades. Since the mid-1950s, refugees with an official status have been accommodated in the former barracks, some for an unlimited period and some for a limited period. In this context, a new architecture should serve as a catalyst for community building. The requirements and functions of this community place will be developed on the basis of research and analysis of the needs and wishes of the users. This should result in a multifunctional design that can flexibly respond to several usage scenarios and thus form a new community space.
