What?
This semester's NDC course has a double objective:
On the one hand, the design of a social and sports facility linked to a former natural swimming pool and swimming club located at the eastern end of the northern sector of the port of Frankfurt.
On the other hand, and at the same time, to work on the basis of material and constructive strategies that respond to criteria of simplicity and sustainability.
To this end, we will develop the design of a social and sports complex to be built mainly in wood.
During the course we will address the definitions of the functional programme, the insertion in the site, the definition of spaces, mass and volumes, as well as their materiality, structure and construction system in detail.
Where?
The project will be located on a vacant site in the Osthafen area of the City of Frankfurt. An area in conversion and under development where port buildings as well as residential, office and other tertiary activities can be found.
The plot has a rectangular shape of approximately 100m in length and 35m in width in an east-west direction. To the north it faces Lindlaystrasse, which gives it access from the city, and to the south it faces the Schwedler Lake, a sort of natural swimming pool, where The Erste Frankfurter Schwimmclub, the oldest and best-known swimming club in Frankfurt am Main, was housed and is still located.
When?
The design course takes place on Friday afternoons from 14:15 to 19:15
The design course starts on 25.10.2024
