STATFJORD B
TOMORROW
A POST OIL
SCENARIO
With the end of the fossil fuel era, an enormous
number of offshore structures developed for the
purpose of oil and gas production are becoming
obsolete.
This project seeks to draw attention to the hidden
world of offshore oil structures in the North Sea
and the enormous architectural potential of their
reuse. Exploring the visual, functional and spatial
significance of these industrial monuments is
therefore the starting point of this work. A North
Sea wide strategy of adaptive reuse is presented,
taking into account political, environmental,
economic and socio-cultural aspects. In addition,
a scenario for long-term reuse of Statfjord B is
presented, with a new program focusing on marine
science, environmental conservation as well
as sustainable tourism helping to compensate for
decades of oil extraction.

Transformation and adaption
The concept of altering drosscape, by utilising
new social program, can be applied to displaced
oilrigs in a large scale. The exploration of
their visual, functional and experiential potential
result in a North Sea wide strategy of reuse,
addressing political, environmental, economic
and socio-cultural questions.
The aim is to develop a sustainable transformation
concept for unused offshore facilities in
order to emphasize the cultural heritage values
on one hand, and to exploit the immense architectural
potential of these structures on the
other hand.

EXPANSION
While abandoned concrete
structures will stay in place,
unused steel facilities will
temporarily be placed in highly
deprived coastal areas among
adjacent countries.
The replaced industrial
structures are offering a highly
adaptable space with great
architectural and aesthetic qualities
to the interested public.
The local tourism sector will be
encouraged through the implementation
of (art-) events and
festivals, which take place in and
around the iconic landmarks.
The strategy of valorising the
industrial structures will focus
on further developments. The
remaining offshore concrete
structures will be refurbished
with the intention to host new
programs.
An appropriate offshore
program, dedicated mainly to
marine science, will be implemented
on selected structures
within the industrial heritage
site in the northern North Sea
as pioneering project.
The success of this approach
will lead to further developments
of the concrete platform
cluster as well as designated
single concrete structures in
environmentally reasonable
areas of the Sea.

strengthen their economy by offering space to be adapted and
by drawing a physical connection to the industrial heritage of oil
producing countries.
SCIENCE
A cross-national network of marine science centers in the North Sea,
which provides state of the art research facilities with education and
training programmes, is the main focus of the marine spatial plan.
Each site offers a specific framework of environmental features and
therefore varies in the topics of research.

EXPIRIENCE OF NORTH SEA ECOREGION KEY AREAS
UK
A joined energetic system in a macro regional scale describes the
ecological strategy within the marine spatial plan and redefines
the role of the Sea as unifying space. Thereby the opportunity to
transform the remaining concrete structures for carbon storage and
green power plants have a great potential to assist the objective of
the European Green Deal.

The former Drilling Tower Unit as most
significant space within the structure, will
be treated as objet trouvé and reframed
as visitor center.
Only the connecting intermediate level
is dismantled and replaced by a free-floating
bridge. The substraction is necessary
to provide sight of the northern and
southern drilling rigs and to emphasize
the enormous heights of the structure.
The materials and forms of the past
inspire the addition of a new main stair
in the center of the former drilling tower,
which provides a connection through
material and time to the future.
The preservation happens completely
free of form, by the mere staging of the
found through lighting und guidance.
The aim is to create multiple readings
within the built environment and to leave
space for interpretations.

The Artist room‘s existing structure
is ingeniously repurposed and
adapted in multiple ways. The former
cementing unit within the room will be
fully preserved, with the exception of
removing the machines to create room
for a workshop and a stage.
The intricate staircase, serving as
a valuable artifact from the past,
will be retained and expanded with
an additional level for connectivity.
The former cement tanks, significant
in maintaining the room‘s unique
atmosphere, will be preserved and
transformed into separate workstations.
These remnants not only serve as
historical artifacts but also provide an
opportunity for new and innovative uses.

To accommodate the needs of a new
purpose, a series of interventions are
implemented as an alteration concept for
the existing Living Quarter.
The majority of the rooms will maintain
their narrowness to preserve the original
atmosphere and evoke a sense of
continuity with the past. The construction
itself serves as an imperceptible trace,
kept intact to offer an experiential
connection, despite optimizing the
limited space for improved functionality.
Furthermore, a new facade will be
added to expand the existing area and
offer uninterrupted views of the sea.

CPH NEW MODERN LIBRARY
For thousands of years, libraries have acquired, organized,
preserved, and provided resources to its users. In doing
so, the library has always been an open and trusted place
where informational and social infrastructures intersected
within a physical structure. However, libraries are experiencing
a remarkable renaissance, both in terms of the social
infrastructure they provide and in terms of a diversification
of the services and experiences they offer. To expand the
narrative of the ‘library for all‘,
“[...] we must acknowledge the library’s role as a civic
landmark - a symbol of what a community values highly
enough to place on a prominent site, to materialize in
dignified architecture that communicates its openness to
everyone, and to support with sufficient public funding
despite the fact that it’ll never make a profit. A well-designed
library - a contextually designed library - can
reflect a community’s character back to itself, clarifying
who it is, in all its multiplicity, and what it stands for.“ 1
With a vision of the library of the future, this project seeks
to identify the key goals of libraries in the next age and
reposition them within an evolving ecology of information
and education infrastructures. Presented is a reimagined
library that fosters vibrant collaborations and synergies and
serves as civic hub where communities can discuss and archive
their history, and integrates media production studios,
makerspaces, and hacker labs. The library as hybrid cultural
arena for a knowledge based society.

Space definition
In order to set up a possible space program, it is
necessary to take into account current discussions
about libraries. From this it became clear
that the attraction factor of the “Library of the
Furture” must be much greater than it has been
so far. This project provides four general ideas
of space definition:
Performative Space, Meeting Space,
Learning Space and Inspiration Space.
The actual program subsequently refers to these
four macro categories. With these definitions
we are able to determine future activities in the
library. With different users, media and operation
hours, there is a huge variety of actions we
have to face. To interpret these we startet to
classify them into 4 general terms:
Immerse, Discover, Experience

Unlike the expected horizontal arrangement of
the 4 room definitions, the program is stacked
vertically in rows. This allows the library to be
experienced in a variety of ways. Four room
definitions can be experienced within one floor.
To enable short distances, openly designed
staircases connect all areas.

The choice of materiality is crucial for understanding
the conceptual design. A frame of
exposed concrete emphasizes the principle
idea of horizontally staked, singular building
elements. Both the interior and exterior
surfaces of the side walls and roof terraces are
finished this way. The additional materials are
few, robust and durable: glass, metal and wood
in a contrasting interplay.

Bookbot
The way of data exchange has no predefined
format and can take place in very
different settings through very different
media and actions.
The conventional book shelf still has
its right to exist but it is important to
provide a lot more possibilities to access
information.
A very efficient facility to safe space for
these alternatives, but still containing
the amount of books needed, is the
bookbot implemented in this project.
The robotic book delivery system can
store up to two million items in a climate-controlled
environment and deliver
any of them within minutes.

FOOD SILOS
Providing healthy, nutritious food for
all, regardless of income, is the defined
goal of this design. An edible ecosystem
is presented to explore alternatives
to conventional agriculture, sequester
carbon, enhance biodiversity and yield a
hundred varieties of foods.
This project aims to restore an ecosystem in
the urban environment of Puerto Madero,
including algae culture, beekeeping, insect
farming, aquaponics, and various greenhouse
and outdoor crops. The vertical food
forest represents a comprehensive commitment
to sustainability, education, and local
economic participation.

CULTIVATION AND HARVESTING
Located on the upper levels of the silos, the bio-intensive
cultivation areas are situated. The greenhouses are
thoughtfully designed with a dynamic space layout, optimizing
the utilization of the glass house. Aquaponics systems
are utilized to irrigate the food containers, while natural
ventilation is employed to prevent overheating.

RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
The food lab is a dedicated space within the facility
specifically designed for conducting seed germination
experiments and fostering innovative approaches to food
production. Additionally, an educational area is available,
offering workshops, seminars, and lectures to individuals.
DIDACTIC GARDEN
The program is enriched with a didactic garden, nestled
within the floating park on the fourth floor. It serves as an
educational oasis for visitors, offering immersive learning
stations and engaging workshops, providing a unique
opportunity for visitors to explore and deepen their understanding
of nature, ecology, and sustainable practices.

MARKET HALL, DISTRIBUTION, CURIER SERVICE
A market hall on the ground floor acts as the primary programmatic
interface, uniting producers, consumers, and
all stakeholders. This bustling space serves as a hub where
ethically produced food is processed, cooked, served,
and made available for purchase, fostering a connection
between the various actors involved in the food production
and consumption cycle.

Sport carries high expectations as it holds the potential to bridge
ethnic and social divides. It is recognized as a powerful force for
civic engagement, capable of generating strong connections among
individuals. Thus, participating in a sports center provides numerous
opportunities for individuals to shape and embrace their personal and
collective identities.
The primary role of architecture is to design sports facilities as inclusive
spaces, imbued with the values inherent in sports. By doing so, it aims
to enhance a culture of acceptance, active involvement, and social
integration. The objective is to create a physical and social environment
that fosters networking and facilitates the formation of new social
connections.
By offering a spatial continuum for collective sports experiences, the
design of the Vienna Sports Center enables meaningful encounters between
individuals and groups. It becomes a platform for the development
of new social relationships. Recognizing sport as a body-centered
social system, the design emphasizes the need for a dynamic and
expressive environment where diverse social groups can interact on
equal footing.
In this project, a double ramp serves as a tool to enhance sensory
perception. The concept of continuity is crucial in capturing the captivating
essence of the design. Moving through the playfully designed
spatial continuum at a deliberate and mindful pace creates a unique
narrative that unfolds only through the act of walking.

Form follows Dynamics
Surrounded by a four-lane road, in the center
of a distribution circle, the particular challenge
of this task is to create a balancing act between
acoustic and visual isolation and an opening
gesture.
In the formulation of the structure with its circular
geometry developed in the urban planning
process, the prevailing and expected dynamics
of the particular building site play an essential
role. The theme of movement and kinetics
thus becomes the overriding concept of this
design. The intention is to create a building
that, contrary to any pragmatism, stands for
a progressive approach to sports and other
thematic buildings.

Hereby, the goal was to create a spatial continuum
that emphasizes the communal nature
of sports while allowing a variety of sporting
events to take place. The visitor is met on the
forecourt and led into the building as a matter
of course.

DIG DEEP
An archive, as a tribute to the practice of the virtuoso
post-war architect Hans Hollein (1934-2014).
The repositioning of the archive as a hybrid institution
between museum and library is the starting point for the
reflections on the Hans Hollein archive.
Hollein‘s drawings and models serve as medium and
expression of his artistic idea. Nevertheless, the aim is not
to create a self-contained cosmos. The simplistic museal
centralization, as well as heroization of work and person
is secondary. The archive rather is intended to be a place
of communication and architectural knowledge transfer.
The didactic presentation and exposure of Hollein‘s work
is the focus for the design of an architectural archive. In
this regard, the archive can be interpreted as a semi-public
educational collection.
In addition to the pure provision of information, the focus
is on the generation of knowledge. The conceptual idea is
therefore to expand and rethink the public areas of an archive
as intermediate zone, where visitors, users, researchers
and archivists can meet and collaborate. The aim is
to stimulate synergies and promote the mutual transfer of
knowledge in order to create a space in which Hollein‘s
legacy can be reviewed and processed collectively.

This project addresses the question of
how an entire archive can be made
publicly accessible without conflicting
with the passive protection of the
archival records.

In addition to the pure provision of information, the focus
is on the generation of knowledge. The conceptual idea
is therefore to expand and rethink the public areas of an
archive as intermediate zone, where visitors, users, researchers
and archivists can meet and collaborate. The aim
is to stimulate synergies and promote the mutual transfer
of knowledge in order to create a space in which Hollein‘s
legacy can be reviewed and processed collectively.

WORK
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of
developing expertise in companies that embrace
innovation and unconventional thinking. Engaging
in national and international competitions has
provided invaluable experience in overcoming
diverse architectural challenges, significantly
enhancing my skills.
I currently work as a freelance architect, taking
on various smaller projects for private clients in
Austria and Germany. I place great emphasis on
individual designs that respond to the needs and
immediate environment of the individual. While
I enjoy working directly and intensively with my
clients, I envision myself making meaningful contributions
to larger-scale endeavors as an integral
part of a dynamic team.
In all my endeavors, I strive to bring a fresh
perspective and a relentless spirit of discovery,
constantly seeking new avenues for creative
expression. Through my dedication, I find deep
fulfillment in my work as an architect.

Das Konzept der Fassade sieht vor, eine ausgewogene Komposition,
basierend auf der Grundlage des bestehenden Oberfinanzdirektions -
Gebäudes, herzustellen. Wir schätzen die vorhandenen Elemente wie
die Wärme der Materialen und den flächigen Ausdruck. Diese sollen
in die DNA der Neuen Frankfurt School of Finance and Management
eingebracht werden.
Auf der anderen Seite wollen wir eine locker Zusammensetzung von
Geschlossen versus Offen herstellen, die die Dynamik und Vielfältigkeit
der heutigen Welt ausdrückt.
Der Ausdruck der Vielfalt und Variation wird auch durch die
Mischung der unterschiedlich farbigen Terrakotta-Fliesen und
Texturen erreicht. Durch die Verwendung von drei verschiedenen
Farben und zwei Texturen ( matt und glänzend ) schaffen wir eine
Fassade, die sich bei unterschiedlichen Lichtbedingungen stehts
verändert und einen hohen Grad an Detailierung hat. Die Art und
Weise wie die Sonne auf die glänzenden Fliesen scheint, soll an das
Wesen der Oberfinanzdirektion erinnern. Zudem wollen wir einen
gewissen Grad an Luxus offenbaren, welcher oft mit glänzenden
Materialien verbunden ist.
Vor Ort haben wir viele gegensätzliche Bedingungen vorgefunden, die hier
aufeinandertreffen. Auf der einen Seite muss die Fassade Offenheit für Licht,
Luft und Aussicht auf das Stadtzentrum ermöglichen. Auf der anderen Seite
soll das Gebäude die Nutzer vor Lärm und Sonneneinstrahlung / Überhitzung
schützten.
Diese gegensätzlichen Ziele können mit einer Doppel-Fassade Richtung
Süden erreicht werden.
Die äussere Schicht der Doppel-Fassade blockiert den Lärm von der Adickesallee mit einer Kombination aus
lärmabsorbierenden Terracota-Panelen und gehärtetem hoch-transpanentem Glas ( 85 % ). Die innere Schicht ( Glas
und Terracota-Panele ) ist verantwortlich für die Isolierung und den Gebäudeabschluss. Der Anteil von offenen und
geschlossenen Flächen soll bei circa 50% liegen.
Direkt vor der inneren Schicht blockiert ein externer Sonnenschutzt direkte Einstrahlung und verhindert Blendung. Der
Raum zwischen den beiden Fassadenschichten fungiert als mehrgeschossiger “Schornstein”. Dieser ermöglicht warmer
Luft das Aufsteigen und Entweichen durch 800mm hohe Schlitze am oberen Ende der Fassade. Alle Nutzer können ihr
“Mikroklima” durch öffnen und schliessen der Fenster individuell steuern.

SOCIAL DESIGN
DIS PLACED
NGO, think tank and spatial laboratory. DIS-
PLACED uses architecture as a tool for integration,
for identification and to further oppose
isolation.
The non-profit start-up was founded in the
particular situation of the great European
migration movement in the summer of 2015
and has shown how architecture can make a
positive contribution to the integration process
of arriving people.
DISPLACED was awarded the SozialMarie
prize, an international award for social innovation,
and further displayed at the 15th Venice
Architecture Biennale.

As a self-emplyed architect I am currently working
on several small scale projects for private
clients in Austria and Germany.
My focus is on the development of individual
and durable designs that are tailored to people
and their immediate environment. Projects
I am currently working on are the construction
of a one family house in the Bavarian forest
in Germany, the conversion of a barn into
a eventlocation with guest accomodation in
Vienna, Austria and the extension of a one
family house in Hesse, Germany.
All projects are accompanied by me up to the
implementation planning and are currently in
progress.
