Soziale Architektur I Alexander Hagner (Gaupenraub)

Adaptive Architecture: Social Architecture

Lecture by: Alexander Hagner

Social Architecture

As part of the module Emerging Fields in Architecture (++), HB2, TU Vienna

++

The Emerging Fields in Architecture module imparts current knowledge from new research fields in architectural and engineering disciplines, with the aim of current and to address future design challenges in a broader social context in an interdisciplinary and fundamental manner. The lectures convey knowledge about different and interdisciplinary approaches to design, current developments and results in materials and construction methods research, about planning and building under/in extreme conditions as well as about structures that change or develop due to changing parameters.

In this context, strategies for design development (from the initial idea to implementation) are questioned in an interdisciplinary discourse, and the question of how the path from idea to realization can be shaped and to what extent it is possible to be systematically creative is examined.< /p>

Alexander In 1999, Hagner founded the now award-winning Viennese architectural firm gaupenraub+/- Her mostly extraordinary works cover the entire 3-dimensional design spectrum from product design to urban development; Hagner is particularly interested in (social) areas into which architecture has so far only penetrated with all its possibilities. Hagner has been an endowed professor for social affairs since 2016 Building at the Faculty of Architecture at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences. As part of his teaching and research work there, the focus is primarily on projects for an inclusive society; the current one was honored with the Carinthian Human Rights Prize in December 2021.
