AIT ONLINE DIALOG interviews Andreas Cukrowicz with regard to the motto: a question to:…

Temporary buildings, three-dimensional structures and spaces made of one material: space defines itself as dimensions of height, length and width. However, the conception of unconventional and surprising spaces is about much more than following the basic principles of design. What makes a room a three-dimensional emotional experience? What role do context and material play in this?

Drawing on the idea of a progression of public spaces, the project is spread across two buildings which are offset from each other. That gives rise to a theme of ‘tight and narrow’, which evokes a typical streetscape and also allows the composition to open onto public piazzas.

The new quarter is organised as a patchwork of various sports- and play facilities, punctuated by individually landscaped pathways and patios. By minimising the visible volume of the hall, the new building appears as a freestanding pavilion.  This design idea has straightforward origins: the sunken hall area evokes the form of a simple vessel, while the roof acts as its lid. Four solid circulation cores support a corporeal roof, lending a sense of activity to the overall appearance.

The proposed design concept makes residents the central consideration. An apartment format forms the home’s organisational basis: separate sleeping and living areas underline the each room’s place within an apartment-like residence. This system can be customised depending on the level of care required and the desired privacy, while also encouraging personalisation and the residents’ sense of ownership

On the gently sloping land south of their parents’ house, two sons each erected a house for their families. Both houses react differently to their specific location and to the individuals they accommodate, while also making a positive contribution to the quality of life in the parents’ house.

Competition 2016 1st Prize

Competition 2016 shortlisted, 5th place.

The new laboratory building’s design is based on the campus masterplan and the orthogonal pattern of existing buildings with inner courtyards. Two large volumes replicate the underlying structure of their neighbours. By offsetting the new additions from the established building line, they create a prestigiously located, central public square which is visually linked to the refectory. Furthermore, this layout unites every existing building by using the new square as an organic connection around which old and new are clustered.

Competition 2016 1st Prize

The new Headquarters for Gebrüder Weiss was awarded the “Best in Interior and Architecture 2016” by AIT in the category office/administration.
Our project was up against 782 projects from 35 nations across 10 categories. The Prize was handed over on March 16th, 2016 in Frankfurt/Main.

The project idea uses single-point volumes with a space-defining character, based on the principle of a clear separation of functions and a strong presence. Using the tricky topography to its advantage, the new building is divided vertically into two areas, with logic and clarity dictating the placement of functions within. A solid plinth area embedded in the rising ground accommodates all depot operations, including a warehouse and workshops. This plinth is the base for a rectilinear volume containing multipurpose offices and tertiary areas, spread across three floors encircling a central courtyard.

The design of the new production shed adopts the theme of solid, closed forms topped with lanterns used in the original structure. This rounds off the complex into a closed unit. Between the existing halls and the new build, there is now a semi-enclosed courtyard for manipulation and internal logistics. All structural elements are contained within a single volume and appear to be surmounted by a lantern, the cantilevering roof of which creates a distinctive canopy towards the courtyard.

Competition 2015 1st Prize  

Our monograph was shortlisted for the “Die schönsten deutschen Bücher 2015” award.

The Vorarlberg Museum won the Guss Award 2015.
The prize ceremony took place in Hamburg on the 29th of May 2015.

Our monograph has been shortlisted for the “DAM Architectural Book Award”.

The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design honoured the Vorarlberg Museum project with the International Architecture Award 2014.

The book offers for the first time an insight into the extensive work of Cukrowicz Nachbaur and introduces their approach, which is underpinned by everyday phenomena. Like a logbook, eight projects are introduced through plans and texts from the architects, as well as with photography from Adolf Bereuter, who revisited all projects for this monograph. Numerous essays from highly regarded authors argue with the central themes  of Cukrowicz Nachbaur, putting them in the context of the current dialectic and thus opening unknown dimensions of both architect´s work. The monograph is complemented by a work list in which more than 100 projects are documented in detail. Book Design: Jonas Voegeli, Hubertus Design GmbH. Publisher: Park Books Zurich.

The design preserves the listed facades, while the space within has been hollowed out to host the new library. An additional wall facing the public square completes the composition. The building is organised horizontally around a central passage spanning between two solid cores. Vertically, the library is organised as a repeating rhythm of double-height main areas separated by single-height mezzanines.
