Field of Research - In den Heimgärten
The project deals with the Aachen housing estate -In den Heimgärten-, which is exemplary for the housing stock of the twenties in Germany. This type of housing estate with modest floor plan sizes and a self-sufficient garden, which was built in a very short time and extremely cheaply between the wars due to the housing shortage, is generally listed and is subject to massive pressure to change in terms of energy deficiencies and also adaptation to contemporary housing needs. Using the example of the component dormer concrete variants suitable for listed buildings are to be planned through and the corresponding details are to be presented as demonstrators with the results of the investigation within the framework of the Pop-Up Campus.
