By Future Architecture bringing together two emerging architects from different architectural practices to lead one group together, new Summer School synergies and potentials could arise. Simultaneously the students had the opportunity to gain an insight into the working and thinking methods of their course leaders In 2018 the House of Architecture organized its first Future while developing a project together.

6 7 While the core of the city is intensively managed and Desperate Houselives: regulated, current challenges as well as problems of our societies materialize rapidly in these areas. During the Ideas for peri-urban areas Future Architecture Summer School we aim to focus on these areas.

Graz is the capital of Styria and with about 300.000 inhabitants the second largest city in Austria after Vienna. TASK According to statistics and numbers things in Graz seemYoung professionals with different backgrounds bring to work well. It is one of the fastest growing citiesknowledge in from different fields of expertise to develop Austria, more than 80 percent of the inhabitants are new ideas for these neglected districts. The task of satisfied with their personal job situation, and even thisthe exercise was to develop architectural projects that satisfaction with the cities air quality increases accordingrespond to this situation and make a positive contribution to the European Quality of Life Barometer of 2015. both aesthetically and socially. In 2003 Graz was the Capital of Culture, with a huge improve of its cultural infrastructure. Its historic city core XIII. and the castle Schloss are listed as UNESCO world heritage sites and since 2011 Graz is known as UNESCO City of Design. Tourism is booming and graffiti says: „go vegan“.

But after digging deeper underneath the surface one can see that not everything is that shiny. A particular area of the city, comprising of five districts, has never been in the center of attention: VII. Liebenau, XIII. Gösting, XV. Wetzelsdorf, XVI. Liebenau, XVII. Puntigam. Together they form a perimeter of peri-urban outskirts, developed without any urban vision after World War II. They count XV. about 60.000 inhabitants and current construction activities indicate a steady increase of people living there in the near future. And even if each district has its own inevitable specificities, huge similarities between them can be noticed regarding their building structure. XVI. Each district contains a fragmented landscape with a XVII. VII. mix of urban and rural characteristics and is dominated by traffic. There is a lack of urbanity, centrality or spatial hierarchy. No communal living or architectural sense can be noticed.

For Hegel, the first architectural GÖSTING: project is the Tower of Babylonia. Being built by the community, the product of their labour was a bond that Public Shelf linked them together, replacing the society based on tribal relationships that existed until then. The Tower of Babilonia was not only the symbol of the community, but Ibai Rigby / Parallel Sprawl the community itself.

Andreas Maierhofer / assistant In a similar way, we suggest that the proposed Ana Maria Chiriac, Franziska Rainalter, Klara Schmidt, megastructures of Gösting should be built by its dwellers, Leonie Wrighton as the only possible way to generate a new sense of XIII. community, a new set of bonds that will overcome the XIII. patriotic, racial and socio-economic walls that people Gösting is located to the north of the historic centre of have been building during recent times. Taking advantage Graz, between the ecological corridor of the river Mur of the DIY culture that already exists in suburbia, but also and the forests lying on the hills towards the West, both considering that in future people will spend less time natural sites being popular destinations for joggers, working, these structures would be composed by simple hikers and cyclists alike. As a suburban neighbourhood, wooden cubicles, each of them filled in with a function it departs quite radically from the preconceived ideas designed and built by the inhabitants of Gösting. The we have about sprawl. Contrary to our expectations,aim of this assemblage would be to create spaces for all this area of the city appears to have everything it needs, social functions that are not possible today in the area, from what we heard from the inhabitants we interviewed and also be a “machine” that generates food, electricity, and also expressed by the heterogeneous building types liberates carbon dioxide and serves as a natural corridor we found there, that include single-family housing, for all species that inhabit Gösting and its surroundings. council apartment blocks and gated communities, This but community made cubicles would include vertical also factories, shopping malls, community gardens, a agriculture, animal farming, electricity generation through historical palace and castle and even a hotel featuring a wind-mills, extend the ecological corridors, playgrounds, bar and a restaurant inside an old Boeing B727 and an leisure areas, cycle paths, barter markets, just to name a Iljuschin IL-62M planes on its rooftop.

Nonetheless, our edifice would become a new commons, a theatre for the definitions of the urban are holistic, and we cannot use everyday life in a post-urban condition. the word city until the whole exceeds the sume of its parts, something that doesn’t seem to happen in the archipelago of Gösting.

Our project is simple. Three megastructures are proposed to ease the connection between the river Mur and the forests. The mere scale of the project, together with its radical linearity, would provide a sense of urban legibility to the existing fragmentary chaos. But our premise is not really about how the building will look like, but

To state, in this bricolage of perspectives, Therese Leick / TAB Collective typologies, and spatialities, is to disregard the ambiguity that defines it. It is instead through ‘architectural gestures’, Beatrice Koch / assistant a series of interventions that are not prescriptive but Catarina Medroa, Iryna Demianiuk, Yulia Palamarchuk, indicative of spatial possibility, that we have interrogated John Poole the ambivalent realities of Wetzelsdorf. These gestures are traps to capture “something essential about their subject” (Lahoud, Scale As Problem, Architecture As Trap). They lack “To be sure, words were more useful than objects and in virtue or morality and use the fears and aspirations gestures in listing the most important things of everyof site and subject as tools to embody the proxemics of province and city… and yet when Polo began to talk aboutthis built environment, capturing approximate form but how life must be in those places, day after day, evening exactafter character.

Colonial Confrontations), albeit in uncomfortable chorus with the bellowing command to acquiesce. However, The Italian borgate (Picone & Schilleci, A Mosaic of today as not only the geographical but the socio-spatialSuburbs ), the French banlieu, and the Portuguese limits of cities engulf their“constitutive outsides” (Brenner bairros de barracas (De Sousa & Guterres, Existence & Schmid, Planetary Urbanism), our focus as urban and Resistance in Lisbon) are all composite parts of a practitioners must also look outside of the ‘city proper’,contemporary urban inventory of the periphery, each and thus the statement.
