Living Object - eine reale Utopie

Bachelor Thesis 2017

Mentor: Prof. Gerd Ackermann

This project proposes a shared living and working environment for creative professionals in a residential neighborhood in Konstanz, Germany.

The design explores how architecture can foster interaction, adaptability, and user participation. A freely organized field of columns creates an open structural framework that can be continuously reconfigured.

The building is organized across three levels: a public ground floor with co-working spaces, exhibitions, and a café; a studio level; and a residential level with movable private units. Compact service cores maximize flexibility and allow spaces to be freely defined and adapted over time.

The building works like a living object - always changing, always renewing itself, brought to life by its residents.
