Thelr oeuvre is diverse, and nearly every building showcases a specific material. The same is true of the ther projects we present in this edition: For example, the toxtured-glass skin of a residence in Tokyo by Wial Arets transforms the massing into a crystalline entity, and the intorior surfaces have the charm of caarse concrate (see page S54), Recycled EUR pallets filed ‘with rammed earth give an experimental communal kitchen in Berlin a rugged touch (see page 950). A sophisticated rippling aluminium skin dematerializas the building massing ofa logistics cantre near Zurich (see page 376). And the colourful brick skin cloaking villa in Munich not oniy shimmers, t also plays an important role in Sauerbruch Hutton’s three-dimensio- ‘al articulation of the facade (see page 380),2015.04 ETAL “arehitecture is a Discipline Characta- rized by Materials” ~ a Talk with Aljosa Dekleva and Tina Gregoris Dekleva Gregori¢ is a frm whose individual buildings vary considerably in appearance, bbacausa tha Ljubljana-based architacts highly conceptual projects respond in a ‘special way tothe respective context.

On ac~ ‘count ofits excelent building physics prop- fries, durabilty and, last but not least, sen ‘ua! qualities, Brick is aways up to date. In ‘addition to clinker bricks and facing lonicks, wth which even today traditional surfaces ean be achieved, ceramic tie plates, which are manufactured in a newty developed pro- ‘cess, offer a freedom of design that has only recartly come t0 fruition Refurbishment Following a long phase of perfecting mater ale by means of industrial processes, thar is now increasing demand for artisanal sur faces, Hand-cut clinker bricks are often used in rfurbishmants when historic proser- vation stipulations must be compiled with. At Munich's Frauerkirche, for example, a rum- ber of damaged clinker bricks must be r=- placed, The authorities attach importance to ‘having the new clinkers coreespond ~ both in terms of raw material and the method of production ~ as precisely as possible to the fourteenth century prototypes. The raw ma terial fr the new elinkers Is extracted trom similar clay deposits to those ofthe original bricks. And ike in the Middle Ages, to ‘shape the bricks, the traditional process — in Uwhich an extruded mass is hand cut ~ is ‘employed, and vicod forms ere used to at- tain an authentic surface texture.

Thanks to modern protluction equipment, at present bricks can be had in almost any size, shape or texture. Countess built exern- ples document the great variety of design possibilies and the creative continued de- ‘velopment of the traition-ich material — from the “thin format” (240/148/52 mm) via 3B terra cotta bricks (lormat as needed, maxi- rum dimensions: 600/800 rm} to the ce- ramitla plates (maximum length: 3.0m) Used in thermally insulated exterior walls, wth rear-ventilated facade systems.

On the one hand, these may bs employed puraly as a design feloment. On the ether hand, perforated ce- ramiccile plates have advantageous sound ‘control properties and are therefore often ‘employed in interiors as acoustic elements.

Bricks are usually formad in an extrusion press process, In the extrusion press its the die that determines the cross-secton ofthe product, which is then cut to size using a thin wire (il. 19). ‘Than the go-called green brick is dried and fired. Clinkere are bricks that are fred at ‘temperatures of uo to 1800°C. At such high ‘emporaturos the sintering process begins: the notes close, and the finshed product — ‘the clinker —will therefore absorb very litle water. Ceramic bricks and facade tile of ter- ra cotta are fired in a tunnel for 76 hours at ‘temperatures sinilar to those used to fre linkers.

There are historical dtferences fram region to region: particularly in northern Gar- many, clinker facades are equally prominent in both historic and contemporary urban en sembles.

Thanks to a high degree of profabrication and by using materials such as aluminium {and stainiess steal, the system is claimed 19 offer the optrnum solution for applications where an exceptional lovel of quality, aff ciency and flexbilly is required. In adaiton, by aligning par of the array nan east-west direction, a maximum number of modules, could be insialad, ‘The system provider is headquertered in Germany, and its Czech subsidiary IBC So- Jare1.0,, which servae both tha Czech and Polish markets, was responsible for deliver ing the components and supporting the lo- cal installation company with the planning of the PV system and static calculations. It also rained the installers for the actual project execution, The project was party funded by the Polish ‘government through e public grant. In that county coal power is sill vary strong, but ‘hg aim is to grow the shara of renawable ‘energies over the next years in order to meet the eneray and climate change pol- cips of the European Union. The PY market thera ie evolving, and soar anorgy will be- ‘come increasingly important in the eneray mix ofthe country. 1 IBC Solar AG Germany 149 (0)9073 92 24-0 vv ibe-solar.da = Putting solar energy at the top of the agenda Lighting specialist Nimbus supported the COniTop team from the Frankfurt University of Agplied Sciences in the Solar Decathion compotion, which was held in Versailles, France. This competition, which invites eo legiate teams to build a full-scale, entrely functional, solar-powered house, was inau- {Quratod in tha U.S, and the European ei- tion now takes place every two years. The stakes are high forthe students, aa they Invest a least tWo years of thelr studies in a project to develop the best colar house that, is independent of extemal energy supplies. “The Solar Decathlon is nat onty a compet tion but also a personal challenge for al pparticipants,” exolained Sebastian Fiedler, Professor at the Faculy of Architocture, Civil Engineering and Geomatics atthe univer sity. “Just taking partis @ great success in itsel.” Twenty teams qualified forthe final in Vorsalles, which culminated in a two-wvoek exhibition in whish all the soler houses were accessible ta the public ‘Tho OnTop team’s PlueEnergy prototype ‘was 2 100 sq.m house designed to gener- fate more solar energy than it needs itselt and wihish can be placed on top of existing buildings, asin the rendering shown above In this wey, additional lving space can be created in bul yp areas whore increasod density at ground levels not possible. In Frenkfur, for example, infil development is playing a key roe inthe turnaround in Ger many's energy policy: urban wasteland and the free roof spaces of numerous residertial ‘complexes from the middle of tha 20th con tury are now to be developed. IFinfll development is realised with PlusEn- frgy houses, these constructions could aup- ply the older buildings in the neighbourhood ‘with their surplus solar energy. and this ap proach could also reduce the rate at which {growing metrepolises graduslly encroach on more space. Maximum comfort and minimum power cor: sumption was the aim for the lighting scheme atthe OnTop house, and ths is sad to have contributed to its winning first placa in the Social Housing category of the ‘competition. The university tga and Nim bus worked! together to create a lighting ‘concept that envisages perisct interaction between antiiial ight and daylight. Glass doors guide sunlight deep into the in- torior; at the same time the surfaces reflect light and brighten up the rooms even more. This is supplemented by a full specum of LED luminaires: rom calling luminaires pro- Viding general ighting to desk, reading, bedsles and wall mounted luminaires, as ‘well as two outdoor luminaires lighting up the torace, ‘The diverse LED lighting scheme met the need fora cosy atmosphere and, at the same time, all 0 or 0 luminaires together ‘only coneume just over 300 W, and that i ‘when all ere switched on atthe eame time and are not dimmed. 1D Nimbus Group GmbH Germany 2 +49 (0)711 03:9014-0 ‘ww. nimibus-group.com201504 DETAIL Programme fo DETAM 2015 1 Foote DETAIL 2015 2 ia Construction DETAIL 2015 3 ‘Concept: Industria Busing DETAIL areen 2015 1 DETAM 2015 4 Material ard Finite DETAIL 2015 5 ‘Sold Fors of Constuction DETAIL 2015 6 ‘taal Constnaction DETAIL Green 2015 2 Photo erat: Fhctos fr which no crocs hen wer ator provided by the rspoctve actos 1 DETAL archive, pss pp. 376-379, 380 Fira kamele, SL0-ujana Tharas Zor Ataler Kerra p29 fp. $80, 7 toto, 3p ot, ‘Enna schiticn, O-wunch "ep ng, seo aetiom, 301 fe, 9 eg epi Fawkes D-nioh ‘Fane Bupovsay, H-Budapost pp. 381, 969,354 pos Stan Mor Naumann, Munch Hate Paternostet, SLO-Smarbo pri. 382 uy Foahe, O-Gerin Fp.
